The house was just as described. Loved the location and ease of being near a walkway. The pool was great and enjoyed by all. The manager was prompt to respond to a problem we had. We weren’t able to get into the property until an hour or so after the check in time because it wasn’t ready. Only negative!

Starfish Cabin

Great for adults. Pool was a plus in the heat in the 90’s this week. House is convenient to beach- they provide a cart to carry chairs etc. to the beach. Steps not convenient for W/C access- handicapped. Under house garage w/ a lot of room, water toys and a refrigerator for keeping drinks cold. A couple of issues that were promptly addressed by property management. Great family vacation for us!

Perfect vacation home!

Starfish cottage has beautiful views, a great layout. It was clean and spacious - well stocked - we loved the thoughtful touches & multiple decks to see the ocean views. 4 good sized bedrooms were just what our crowd needed. We enjoyed the grill and gorgeous pool deck with sun, shade and a great outdoor shower! The dogs were safe and enjoyed being poolside too!

Old Guys Golf Trip

House was great and met our needs. Property is as advertised and outside area was an additional delight. The nice deck is great to hang out in the sun, but also a nice table / chairs under a roof overhang that provides shade. While we did not use the pool as the weather in April was just a tad cool for us, it looked great and another great area to enjoy. Very satisfied and would rent again as well as recommend to all needing a 4 br house w/3 bathrooms..

Great location!

This was the perfect house for our New Year’s family trip. The house was just as described. It is well stocked with everything you will need. It is located far enough away from the main town center so traffic is reduced. Being on the ocean side is nice so you can enjoy the view and sounds of the ocean. Will definitely come back!!

Wonderful stay

Beautiful property with wonderful ocean views including direct sunrise on ocean horizon. Wonderful spot for dogs as they have fence around backyard and upper deck. Garage is nice and big and pool was nice and clean. Beach chairs and toys were available. House was clean and cozy with board games and puzzles. Towards the end so less traffic and people on the beach. Beach access beside house is closed so a little walk but not bad. Overall we will go back

Great Property

The property was in a great location on Ocean Isle. It was great to see and hear the waves from the balcony. The private pool was a great place to hangout during our stay. The property was very clean when we arrived and the kitchen had all of the appliances and utensils that we needed. Perfect location for a beach get away.
