Well , we are back. Overall we had a nice week .Beach walks and biking and pool reading time.
The condo was awful this year.
Micro worked on 1/2 power.
Stove had a grill that didn't work.
Frige was never cold.
Dishwasher had a part under the sink....
Drawer was broken in kitcken, blind was hanging broken.
Dryer had taken 2 hrs for a load to dry which meand a bad element.

Had a rain storm and the one bedroom was raining in it.
The bathroom had a missing jet and really cracked tile bad
I was disapointed this year.
2400. For this 2 bedroom place and horrible.

I had to go buy teflon skillet(eggs, pancakes) and a dvd player for grandson.Only has stainless and everything stuck bad.
The place was supposed to have been a 4 star resort , maybe 20 years ago.
The walkways were all splintered wood and nails sticking up everywhere.
Then we only had a medioker weather week.
lower 80's most of the week and a cold ocean.
Bummer.
Oh, and try walking across the street in duck OBX. They will run ya over.
Traffic was horendous.
I went to the gym 5 miles away and took me 30 min to get there.
I prefer working out at home. Gym was kinda dirty and used..
I have always stayed at a condo in kittyhawk and will never stay in duck again.Traffic was too crazy...

Riding bikes was a chore till you got into southern shores and on the back roads,
I can imagine how the locals feel.
We came home sat night instead of sun morn to miss the traffic and i needed my own bed from the rock i slept on all week.
Good to get away, nice to get back home.

I came home and said , look hon ,the stove works, and he started laughing at me......

Well anyone else have vacation nightmares...

I'm so sorry to hear about your vacation disappointments. We stayed in Southern Shores/Duck area the beginning of June and it was absolutely fabulous!! We came away convinced that Duck is the only place we will ever frequent in the OBX anymore. Crazy how people can have such varying experiences. It may have been that we were still there on an "off season" week. But the traffic was pretty heavy...but still didn't have any problems because of it.

What rental agency did you use so that we can look out for them? A friend of mine and I are already planning a trip for next year so I'd like to be on the lookout for rental companies to possibly avoid. Again...sorry to hear you didn't fully enjoy your vacation, I so know how very disappointing that can be!!

Sorry to hear about your lousy stay! One of the reasons we like Corolla is that it is alot less congested than Duck. I hope you reported all these issues to your rental company, that just sounds so sub par for OBX, I am really sorry you had that kind of experience.
