Family Fun

This property is ideal for making fun memories with your family. Amazing views for gathering together including beautiful sunsets over the intercoastal water, plenty of space for , 2 1/2 bathrooms made showering much easier with our group of 7, parking for 4 vehicles, indoor & outdoor games available for quality time & laughs, beach equipment/ toys were a bonus especially the surf boards. The outdoor shower and additional hose made beach clean up much easier. Multi level balconies provided plenty of seating & opportunity to view wildlife together. Hosts were quick to respond and genuinely kind. There is even a path available with the property that leads you to the beach within a block. We made so many FUN memories as a family!

Great property, great location, lots of property perks

Seriously you are just a few minutes walk to a nearby beach access point. You're even within walking distance to some great dining options, gift shops, and a grocery store. Almost everything you need for a day at the beach they have on-hand. The outdoor shower was super-helpful in keeping all that sand you bring back out of the house. There were games for the kids to play, a Roku we used to help live stream the Olympics, books that my spouse found engaging while she enjoyed some early morning moments on one of the 4 decks. I have no complaints about the home at all. Thanks for letting us stay at your property, we loved every minute of it except a few sunburns :).

Absolutely Perfect!!!!!!

I can’t say enough positive things about this stay!!First of all, the owner was very quick to respond when I had lost the check in info. We met two of the neighbors who actually live in houses on either side and they were so nice! Having our linens saran wrapped and in a tub let us know that they were definitely clean and we didn’t even use them all so we had plenty! If we had stayed longer we would have also had the washer and dryer available. The house was spotless, extremely roomy and had such a welcoming feel and beautiful decor. We don’t have little ones but we noticed how family and kid friendly it was from the little step stools under the sinks , kids seating to a downstairs closet FULL of beach wagons, beach toys etc! Also there were movies, games and books. We loved playing corn hole in the back yard as we watched the most gorgeous sunset!! Having three bathrooms and two showers was perfect! The absolute highlight of this house was the porches!!! You could open the door of the living room, two bedrooms and kitchen and have full access to very roomy porches. Being able to open the curtains of the main bedroom and have that gorgeous view of the sound which you could enjoy either from inside or outside on the porch was just breathtaking! There was a nice breeze in the evenings as i sat on the porch facing the sound and read until it became dark. You just can’t go wrong with this house. I am hoping that it will be available off season because we would definitely return!

Sunset over the Sound!

Really enjoyed the stay at this sound front location over Labor Day weekend. Just a half mile walk into town and the beach was just one block over. Kitchen is well stocked and plenty of beach equipment in the storage room so we didn’t have to haul everything from Wake Forest.

Great Family Rental

The property was clean, well-situated, and suited my family's needs perfectly. The outdoor shower is a Godsend and it's a reasonable walk to the beach and close to Surf City. I initially thought we might explore the various beaches in the island, but the beach closest to the property was so nice, convenient, and low-key that we went there everyday. I would definitely take my family back here.
