Weather was great. Condo was perfect location and size for what we were looking for. Check in was a little confusing due to condo had no name or identifying marks from the rental agreement. Able to use photos to find the correct condo. Would definitely stay there again.

Should be a 5 Star Property
Overall, our family of 4 with 2 kids had a great time. This property deserves a 5 star review and rating based off of the great location and views, well maintained unit, cleanliness and comfort provided. One glaring issue significantly drops the experience and rating unfortunately. The internet provided was almost unusable in most instances due to it being unbelievably slow, constant buffering issues and just plain not loading. We tried resetting the router and WiFI ourselves, but it did not help. We contacted KEES and they stated a work order was made, but no one ever came out. When a property advertises internet on their listing, a properly working internet is expected. We came with this in mind, having work related items to handle, which we could not. Our kids had issues with their devices and they couldn’t enjoy their quiet time after a day on the beach or excursions. We couldn’t properly surf the internet without constant buffering and waiting. KEES, the owners and potential renters need to be made aware so this does not happen to anyone else. Overall, everything else was spectacular and with a smooth internet this unit is a 5 star property.

Excellent Location, Beautiful View
We truly enjoyed our stay here. The place was in good repair, clean, and comfortable. We enjoyed the deck area with it's own spiral staircase that went down to the easy beach access. Be sure to bring your own TP, and garbage bags because they only give you 1 per can/bathroom, even if you're staying a full week. Bring some extra towels too, unless you want to reuse the same one all week. The only complaint I have is that the soap dispensers did not work. We would definitely stay there again.

Great condo with a gorgeous view
We had a great visit to Kill Devil Hills and enjoyed the condo and it's gorgeous oceanfront view! It was mostly very clean, although we did find hair in one of the shower drains and the deck had several cigarette butts on the floor. Otherwise, the condo was comfortable and well appointed and a question we had at check-in was promptly answered by the property manager even though it was after business hours. We would recommend that the owner either install a Roku or other streaming device or cable as we could not figure out the tv. There is a public beach access and a rather shabby-looking motel next door to the condo and both of those areas got loud at night. Our visit was before the very busy season, so I'd expect things to be pretty lively there during the height of the summer. The parking lots and the outdoor walkways at the motel were also super brightly lit, which did detract somewhat from the beach view in the evening. We would rent here again, though.

Beautiful view and location for us having never been to the OBX before. Husband has had ankle replacement and had trouble climbing to third floor. We may have missed in the property description that there was not an elevator. Pool was nice. Only issues, which were minor, was large cleaning bags of linens were left outside our door (both clean and dirty). We notified management, brought them inside but no one ever came to pick them up so they took up space to open front door during stay. We had trouble figuring out the TV and left a couple messages with no reply. Had a couple of the large palmetto bugs in the condo to chase down. Small issues when compared to the beautiful views and amenities.

This is a very nice place. The beach is 100 yards away, maybe less. The layout of the unit and furnishings are very comfortable. 3 Tvs make nights and rainy days easier. But my favorite feature is the view of the Wright Brothers monument at sundown. WOW!

Nice Place
We had 2 nights here and enjoyed the balcony view of the ocean along with direct access to the beach. This condo is bare bones so bring everything with you: extra blanket, hair dryers, condiments, fire stick, etc. The LR furniture could be more comfortable. Housekeeping had tried to make a king bed with 2 full fitted sheets! After a call, this was remedied. Kees Vacation OBX doesn’t respond to emails but will quickly respond when called directly.

Pros, everything we wanted. Cons, poor communication.
This property fitted our needs perfectly. Central location, private beach access, great size for 2 people and awesome views. All this was somewhat dimmed when the email we were supposed to receive 24 hrs to arrival was never received (it contained the security key code) and a call had to be made. After a short time on hold, talked to a woman who definitely gave the feeling this was an interruption. Email was received, and we went on with our vacation. Also, no one ever measures up to my cleanliness in any rental. It was clean, but upon adjusting blinds I found a makeup/acne pad on a windowsill! Ugh!

Great condo
We typically stay in the condo directly below yours. The way your condo is outfitted and appointed, it makes unit #6 look like a slum. VERY nice!! We loved it. But unit #6 has one thing you don't have: Cable, not just an internet connection to streaming services. 2 of the 3 TV's wouldn't even connect to that. I believe such a nice condo deserves at least basic cable for news and local stations for 60+ patrons like us. I would also take a look at the front door stoop which has started to disintegrate on it's left side. Lastly, the water pressure in the utility room shower is surprisingly low, compared to the one in the master bathroom. These few items would not deter us from returning again in the future.

Perfect location
The property was clean. There were a number of stairs to climb, but the view from the top floor of the building (3rd floor) was fantastic! Great for sunrises and sunsets. The interior had everything our family required. Maybe a paid streaming service or cable option would be nice, but it is the beach, so who needs a TV anyway. ;) The location was perfect! The short walk to the beach put us right near a lifeguard seat. Also great for visiting the Wright Brothers Monument (that you can see from the rear balcony). Make sure to visit Jack Browns a couple blocks away, and Duck Donuts as well. The two negatives, although mostly insignificant: 1) the property is directly on the beach, but there is not a boardwalk and sand gets real hot between the building and the beach, so prepare to wear some shoes or carry the kids 2) the property has a nice clean pool, although it is tiny! Great for relaxing either way though.

Relaxing Weekend in Kill Devil Hills, NC
We enjoyed a great weekend at this condo in the Outer Banks, North Carolina. We rented the top floor unit -- great views of the beach and also the Wright Memorial. The unit was nicely decorated, the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils/plates/etc., the beds were comfy and we appreciated that linens/towels were provided. Note -- there are a lot of steps (50+) which might be hard for some folks to navigate. We would definitely consider renting this unit again.
