Below are my observations/review regarding my stay at the Beachwood resort at Kitty Hawk OBX NC. I'm interested hearing, reading other vacationers who have stayed at this resort. Also, I'm hoping my observations can help others who wanted to rent/stay at this place.
I rented from another Tug user and I called the owner to learn more about the resort. From looking at the resort's website (https://www.vacationrentalsvabeach.com/beachwoods) the pictures show a good surrounding area with outside pool, a small pond with paddle boats and a decent side indoor water park. In addition, there's picnic area, tennis court, a fitness center and an advertised of 1mile away from the beach. So when I talked to the owner, I asked if there's anything else I should know. Owner said none and we put the deal together for the rental. Owner told me the resort's management moved the rental unit closer to all the activities buildings so that's a plus.
Fast forward several weeks to our check in day, we learned that the resort's management has moved us again. I didn't know much to care so I happily check in. I asked about the internet access and the receptionist said it's not worth the cost to pay extra because of the slow/unusable connection. As we drove away from the check-in center to our unit, it starting to sink in that we are in the middle of a forest. All of the units are surrounded by nature/trees/bugs/insects/reptiles. We had cockroaches crawling inside our bathroom, multiple mosquitoes bites and my son's leg was swollen up. We were supposed to stay from 8/6 to 8/13 but we checked out on 8/12 because we couldn't take the beating any longer.
So for those who want to stay here, please make sure to pack extra bug off, after bites itch eraser to protect your family. Also try to avoid staying here if there's rain in the forecast. Unfortunately for us, it rained 5 out of the 7 days that we were going to stay there. In term of going to the beach, I suggest going to the Jennette's Pier in Nags Head which is 20 minutes drive (depending on traffic from the resort). It offers free parking and a decent outside "shower/water" for you to rinse off. In addition, it's right across the Tanger outlet so you can shop if you want to.
I have owned Sheraton TS and rented plenty into Wyndham and Beachwood has a long way to go compare to the other two. For all of the above observations, I don't think I'm going to take my family back to this place. I hope others that stayed here had a better experience than our family and for those who potentially want to stay here, I hope my observations/experiences help you and your family.
