We had a wonderful time at this apartment, with its stunning views of the kiteboarding scene on the Sound, a superb family room / dining room / kitchen combo, a large set of puzzles and games, and spacious clean 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. The gas grill was clean and worked great. We did not try the hot tub.
Minor issues include a) a cap on a bathroom vent that clacked loudly whenever the wind was strong and from the north or east (as is common), impeding sound sleep, b) an above stove microwave that did not provide functioning external venting, and c) minimal toilet paper, garbage bags, soap, etc. We brought issues a) and b) to the attention of management, who promptly sent a service tech. He responded to the noisy vent by saying they were very common on OBx, and dutifully fixing the above stove vent. Item c) was fully noticed on the website in advance, so I could not really complain. But in a place this nice (and pricey) it seems a shame to have to spend a couple hours on your first day inventorying and then shopping for the necessary TP, paper towels, garbage bags, dishwasher soap, hand soap, etc. One option would be for the owners to charge $25 extra to have the place properly equipped for a long weekend visit.
