Relaxing vacation home, great for the discounted spring price
First off,
This house worked great for our family vacation and the price was great for the spring value pricing, The views were decent from the upper decks between the houses to the ocean, was hoping for a bit more ocean view. Unfortunately we booked during construction of a house across the street and had to deal with the construction noise waking us up in the mornings, can't blame anyone for that one. The construction crews did seem to try to keep their noise and mess to a minimum and were off the job site fairly early in the day allowing a relaxing evening for us.
The house was in decent condition but starting to show its age. We had a leak that grew slightly more significant in our master bathroom. A quick email to the management and repairmen were there, 4 times. The repairmen seemed to be coming a bit more that we expected, total of 6 drop ins from various people. We had our dog with us and she can be a little protective of us when strangers walk into the house which caused some stress for our old girl.
The pool was great, though a bit cold... but that is to be expected this early in the season. The hot tub was great for relaxing evenings, though the cover for the hot tub needs replacing and dropped lots of bits into the hot tub, had to skim it before every use. Be careful when walking on the decks as boards were starting to show the age with exposed nails, splinters, and a few warped boards, would recommend wearing flip flops while on the wood.
There were very few screens in the house which allowed lots of bugs into the house when the windows were open and the screen doors need repair/replacement as they are also showing their age.
At the end of the day, the beds were okay. The master bed seemed fine, but other family members complained about the beds on the lower level. The kitchen was well stocked and allowed us to cook many meals as a family and sit around the same table together.
The owners/management were great when issues arrived. The cable company changed to all digital and required new boxes for all TV's while we were there. This didn't really matter much to us as we were out doors a lot, but a quick email and we had the cable guy there the next day.
Off road beach access just down the street, house was nicely located in town with grocery store and few restaurants very close
Will consider renting again during value pricing, but may be a bit disappointed if we paid full summer pricing.
Perfect for a large family getaway
This house was PERFECT for our large family. We had 6 children and 5 adults and it was just the right size. I had noticed that other reviewers had mentioned lack of cell service and lack of shopping. This was not an issue for our family. We had no trouble with our cells and we were there for the beach, so shopping was not high on our list of "must haves" (although, we did trek to Nags Head to hit the outlets one day and that was easy). The home was beautifully furnished and accessing the beach was a breeze. Our entire family left feeling relaxed and happy.
Beautiful Home!
This is a mixed reviewed, and I don’t want to sound negative, but read on.
First of all the accommodations are first rate. We found the place more charming than the photos show. The art on the walls and the furnishings, the views of the ocean were great. Plenty of rooms and comfortable bedding for all. Breakfast at Oceania was awesome and the Food Loin was close by.
The only real negative is that the property does not have a landline and essentially, no cell coverage. Among us we had 8 phones and only 1 got a very weak signal. So weak, that if we got through to someone, they hung up on us. Fortunately, we had rented bikes, and the weather was nice enough for us to pedal over to places to confirm their hours, which gave the older kids something to do. We were concerned about what we would do if we had an emergency and on Friday Night, we would have called the police if we could, the people next door and across the street shouted to each other well into the early hours of the morning. They weren't having a party, just a loud conversation. As we lay in bed, trying to understand how they would be so rude, it occurred to us that they probably didn't have phone coverage either. We would have asked them to meet between their 2 properties, but were worried about what we would do if they became hostile.
Kitty Hawk is less than an hour away. There we hang glided, visited the Wright Brother Memorial, played mini-golf, ate lots of ice cream and fudge.
While we do think this is the perfect spot for people with young children, for those with teenagers, they might as well be in Antarctica.
Beautiful Places but without phone coverage

Family Vacation
We had a great time at Lattitude Adjustment! It was the perfect location, the pool was amazing and the hot tub was great for evenings after the pool or beach. The home was great for our family, even our little beagle loved it!! The views from the main deck were stunning in the morning at sunrise, and you could even hear the waves from the ocean the home was that close to the beach.
The only negative, which wasn't that bad, was there was no OnDemand options on the tv-which most homes have, so if we would've gotten a few days of rain, it would've been a little tricky after we ran out of things to do :) . But, as I said, we had PERFECT weather the entire trip and we were hardly inside other than to get ready for dinner or for my son to take quick breaks from the sun :) .
It was a memorable vacation, relaxing , and great to spend so much time all together in a beautiful beach home in the OBX -
We already booked for next year!!!!
Nice Place
Everything was great other than there is no community bathroom. You must go through one of the bedrooms in order to get to a bathroom. Other than that, it was great.
