Hospitality by GladToHaveYou 4+

We had a good stay here. The condo is very nicely furnished. Third floor but there’s an elevator for moving in/out.
The exterior hallway lights were not timed to come on when it turned dark. We called to complain but it stayed the same the whole time.
Our second time staying in Watercolor. Even in late October the area just outside the unit was a busy and bustling place all day with landscape blowers/mowers, garbage crew with loud beeping, some construction, and even maintenance workers drilling in the unit across the hall. And lastly the 100++ Beach chair/umbrella setups were completely sold out the first day. The rest of the week we had to rent on the second row. Can’t imagine what it’s like there in high season. Definitely not a quite beach area. Not for us.

This house has a fabulous 180 degree view of the beach, and overall we had a wonderful time here. AC, Wi-Fi, ceiling fans, and appliances all work fine, EXCEPT the ice maker and water from the fridge are very slow, so buy ice. The house, linens, etc. are clean, but there is a roach problem! This week we killed about a dozen roaches. More hooks would be helpful; a couple of the bedrooms have none. In the master suite bathroom the sink drains very slowly. Upstairs bathroom is small and could use updating, so for showers all of us used other 2 bathrooms on middle level.
Getting to the beach requires a climb over the dune. The outdoor faucet for the hose in the fish cleaning area is out of reach for rinsing sandy feet—Your feet get sandy again when you go around to turn it off!
But overall this house has a fabulous deck w several chairs to enjoy the best view of the ocean we have ever had at OBX. Saw dolphins, pelicans, many shore birds. For our group of 7 adult women, the house was sufficient.

We had a wonderful time, the kids definitely liked the pool after a day at the beach. The bedrooms were spacious and plenty of hot water when taking showers. Nice size kitchen and places to sit for eating. The living room is very confined, I would take out the large end tables and put more seating room. We could usually fit 6 people in the living room which made the others have to go somewhere else. The weather made it difficult to sit out on the deck because of the mosquitos, so much water everywhere. We did a lot of sweeping outside the decks, pretty messy. My daughter had to rewash her sheets, there was black all over one side, not sure what it was. My grandchildren loved being able to fish in the lake, they caught a couple and released them. It was nice watching the deer when they came out. Nice size washer and dryer. A good size lawn for kids to play too.
A big thanks to Christine at Kitty Hawk Rentals for finding this place for us, wonderful lady!!
