Now it can be told: Vacation edition

Many people have taken bad vacations, and sometimes those vacations have been to a beach. But few people can claim to have rented the Worst Beach House Ever.

That would be the Electric Eel Down, an impossibly terrible beachfront house at Oak Island, N.C. Yes, if you're looking for a painfully bad experience on your next vacation, there's no place that even comes close to the Electric Eel Down. Recommended for masochists the world over.

Do you like poor construction? Electric Eel has it. Mildew? Check. Missing applicances? Done. Roaches? You betcha. All this plus the surly customer service that can only come from people who specialize in providing the worst vacation ever.

As you set foot into your new luxury accomodations, you will first notice that the door tends not to open. This is due to both poor construction and nonexistent maintenance. These twin themes will follow you as you attempt to active lights, cook dinner or just sit on the toilet. The quarters are cramped to say the least, but this is nothing compared to the overall feel of lamiated chintziness from floor to ceiling. On top of that, add a layer of rust, and then a layer of mildew on top of that, and you've begun to approximate the feeling.

Another important thing to remember is that you're never alone at Electric Eel Down. Even on the loneliest night, you'll hear the familiar scuffle of cockroach legs around your bed to keep you company. And if you're lucky, they might even pay a visit to your face.

Yes, it's safe to say that no rental agency anywhere has ever offered accomodations as scary and pathetic as Electic Eel Down. So run, don't walk, to the Worst Beach House Ever. If the health inspectors or building inspectors haven't shut them down, they'll be waiting for you!
