We had a wonderful time in the OBX! This apartment was located in the middle of everything, making daily trips to see the sights all over the OBX an easy ride. It was very clean, quiet, & comfortable. We loved all the special touches in the decor & the kitchen was fully equipped. You definitely have to drive to the beach due to the very busy 4 lane major highway to cross, but it is very close to multiple beach access areas with free parking. The guide emailed to us was super helpful for finding great restaurants & places to visit! Make sure you plan to wake up early to watch the sunrise over the ocean from the deck. The view was beautiful on cloudless & cloudy days! The only issue we had was the internet lagging. I had to work remotely occasionally during our trip. It was a good thing my laptop has cellular access, or I would have been in trouble. While watching Netflix, the shows often paused to catch up so that we gave up trying to watch something a few times. Communication was top notch, though, & we highly recommend this apartment!
