fall fishing getaway

2016 build with staircase to first floor. Caught slot drum on popping cork with Z-Man pearl soft bait shad with inshore oil. Caught pinfish in creek to bait my crabpot and got a dozen keepers to make crabcakes. Beautiful views of sunrise and what a Full moon to view from over the creek! Slept in the loft bedroom with gorgeous view of the water! Bring your kayak or canoe for full water exploration.

Great Place

Very nice property. Newer construction, paint, flooring and spotless appearance. Property well maintained. A few boards on the dock were loose and the manager had them repaired the next day after being notified. Private and quiet. Great for launching a canoe. Fairly remote but shopping locally at Dollar General nearby or a 25 minute drive to Beaufort. Good Wi-Fi. Water is softened which is a big plus in this area. Cookware/dinnerware sufficient but you need to bring your own big pot for boiling crabs. A knife sharpener would help as well. No air fryer if that is your thing. The TV speakers are too small for the space so the audio sounds garbled. A cheap soundbar would fix this. All minor issues for sure. All in all, a really nice property in coastal North Carolina. We have been coming here for nearly 50 years and this was one of the best trips.

Great stay!

We loved the size of the house and thoroughly enjoyed all the sightseeing we got to do. We had a small issue with the water smelling of sulphur but Kim was very responsive and called a company to fix it immediately. She was so helpful with any questions we had. We couldn't have asked for a better host. The house was as expected, and we especially loved the amount of bedrooms and bathrooms for our family of 3. The kitchen was a large size and stocked with plenty of plates, bowls, utensils, and Tupperware. The only area that might need a fix was the dock leading to the water. It is missing a few boards so we had to keep an extra eye on our 4-year old. This was one of our best vacations. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful place to get away

The property was just as described. We had everything we needed to make it a great stay. It is a bit far out, but there's plenty to do just short rides away. The only thing I can say needs improvement is the beds are terrible. Need an upgrade on the mattresses and that would make it an outstanding stay.

Great house but very far from everything

Beautiful house and property. We enjoyed watching the wild life. Especially the crabs by the dock. Host was extremely attentive. There's two things we would have changed. The location was much further out than we expected. It's a beautiful drive but after a long day with the kiddo it made the day really exhausting. If you are looking for privacy and seclusion I seriously doubt you'll find a better place. The second issue was the sulfur water smell. The host did get someone out to clean the septic but the smell lingered. We bought a lot of extra water to drink so we were ok. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

If you wanna fish, rent this place

From the minute we stepped foot onto the property until the minute we left, we had a wonderful week! The house is not lacking in any way. We fished every day, catching croakers, red fish, flounder, and more, launching our kayaks from the yard. Nights were peaceful and dark, without the annoying light pollution that keeps the stars hidden away, and if it weren't for the biting insects it would be tempting to camp on the back deck. Yes, you definitely need to use bug spray liberally to avoid getting more bug bites then fish bites, but that's a given for the area. It's a laid-back slowed down pace that's just a nice ride to shopping and dining. I wouldn't hesitate to book this house again in the future, and neither should you!

So nice we visited twice!

We love this little house so much that we stayed a second time just a couple months after our very first stay. This time ready to have full use of the creeks with our new dinghy sized boat. I stayed on that boat every bit of the daylight hours!!! Shrimp, oysters, crabs, drum, and even a mullet were on our menus!!! All from right there in those waters. Absolutely FANTASTIC stay. I love this lil place so much that I want my own! Thank you Ms. Kim for an absolutely perfect place that I can getaway to.
