Perfect home for a beach getaway with pool access.

The owner of the house began communicating with us prior to check in. She laid out everything we needed to know to make the process as easy as possible. When we arrived the house was spotless and we could tell it had been taken great care of. The amenities provided were great.The beach is to one side of the property and the pool is to the other. Literally steps away from both the beach and pool right out of the back door. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to come back for a longer stay next summer. Even with the hurricane passing through this weekend, the weather turned out great. There are great restaurants in the area as well. Very quiet and family friendly neighborhood. We appreciate the host for her great communication and friendliness.

Perfect family condo

Wonderful property for family. Stayed with our 2 & 3 year old kids and it was perfect. Plenty of space for everyone and a good sized kitchen for making food. Loved that they keep beach equipment there so we didn’t have to haul our own stuff.

Clean and spacious townhome, super convenient to beach and pool

Very nice townhouse in a quiet community with great amenities! The beach was under 3 minutes from door to sand and pool about 2. There were beach chairs, umbrella and toys available to use. There was a shower to rinse off at as well plus tables and benches for the community to use. The rooms were decorated cute and everything was super clean. The beach was quiet too which was nice! Easy access to Atlantic (12 min) Emerald Isle (18 min) beaches too. The owner made sure we had all the information to get in and checked to make sure everything was all set. We enjoyed our stay and would come again if back in the area!

Amazing Location!

We loved that this was right on the beach since we spent almost the entire week there. It was crowded right by the stairs but we could walk just a bit down and be all alone. The house was great; comfortable beds and good water pressure in the showers, which is nice to get all the sand off. Kitchen was a bit small but had everything we needed. Really the only downside was that the walls are quite thin and we could hear the people on either side of us all too well. The house itself was great for our family and we had a wonderful week otherwise.

Nice place

Condo was well furnished, rooms spacious, LOTS of stairs. Access to beach needs more rails or rope to assist older adults to get onto beach easier- it was extremely difficult for me to deal with the steep dune and sand. Had to get assistance from other patrons. Perhaps HOA should upgrade access. Other than that, stay was nice.

A perfect way to celebrate my daughter's college graduation and Mother's Day. The memories will last a lifetime. The home was steps from the beautiful beach. It was cozy and exceptionally clean. We can't wait to return in the future!

Great location

This was the perfect location for our family vacation. The beach was never packed and the home was steps away from the beach. It was exactly what we needed for a nice and quiet stay with a 6 month old and 2 year old. We would highly recommend this location. Plus the hosts were super helpful and had all the accomadations needed for a vacation.

It was so nice to have the things we needed for our days on the beach; chairs, boogie boards and kids sand toys.

Wonderful vacation!

We've been renting through VRBO for many years and have always had good experiences but this was probably the best one so far. The owner has added so many thoughtful touches, like putting nighlights throughout the place, providing plenty of beach chairs, and adding a very nice coffee bar in the kitchen. We love this area as the beach is not crowded at all, and it's a very short walk from this condo to the beach. I highly recommend this rental and would love to stay here again!
