Great base for beach time

We enjoyed our weekend stay. There were a couple of hiccups, but the owner was responsive to us regarding a plumbing concern. It was the perfect location for beach access and an easy walk to shops and restaurants. The porch swing was a great place to relax too. Just what we needed for the four of us for the weekend.

loved the beach!!

The apartment was clean and close to the beach. I think it was recently remodeled. It has a kitchen and big living room, so it's better than staying in a hotel. I love the uncrowded beautiful NC beaches. We had some issues like a dead bug left in the coffee machine, one toilet paper, only 4 towels, no dish sponge. Overall, we had a great family vacation.
