Because nobody wants to vacation in OC

I have been vacationing in the Outer Banks known as OBX for a very long time. Let me fill you in on this advertisement. Pro: I'm renting a 6 bedroom, 7 bathroom house on the sound with all amenities -pool , hot tub, theater room pool table and New construction for 1,600 a week . With taxes which are very high - 2,260.00 a week. Divide that among several family members it is a buy.
Rent off season. Weather is great in September/Oct.
Cons: traffic is extremely heavy in session. Some areas only 2 way roads. Takes extra 2 to 3 hrs to get anywhere.
Emergency evacuation - only 2 ways out. Sometimes it takes 8 hours to get off the banks alone. Hospital is depending where you are staying - hrs away.
25.00 for a lottery is get but you will be responsible for taxes etc . Taxes are as high as 17 percent. There are no board walks. No small shops along the ocean. No bathrooms along the ocean. No driving on the beach without a permit.
Why would someone waffle their beach house unless tax write-off. There are so many houses this size and larger in OBX that I'm sure they are not all rented. Go for it if you can afford to loose 25.00. Ocean City is probably a better choice

Ocean City is surely not a better choice
