Rented condo at The Sands, Kill Devil Hills

Rented condo at The Sands, Kill Devil Hills

Definitely not worth what we paid, considering there was a filthy closet space with heating units that were covered in dirt and a hole in the wall, unsealed, around the shower unit. Best of all! Cockroaches, BIG ONES, on the top floor nonetheless! When we contacted the building supervisor we were told that the Outer Banks has a problem with "palmetto bugs" and "they are everywhere". After a quick Google search, I found that "palmetto bug" is just a fancy name for cockroach. I would think carefully about renting here, especially on the top floor since a room full of "palmetto bugs" cut our family vacation in half. I understand that a room could have spiders, mosquitos, ants, etc, but these are cockroaches, that carry germs and can infect food and personal property.

Currently, still waiting for "owner" to contact us about getting reimbursed for 1/2 the vacation we didn't have. Like I mentioned, I would think very carefully before renting here since we saw "palmetto bugs" all around the property.
