"The room was clean and current. They are across the street from the beach…super easy access. Not a beach view. My limited interaction with staff was great. My only feedback is we needed more coffee pods in the room and creamers vs powder milk. I’ll def stay there again."

Private Oceanfront Home! - Ocean View From Anywhere In The Home - Beach Gear - Sleeps 4

10/10 Excellent
"This little beach house has a well stocked kitchen and is a great location. All paper goods, towels, sheets and blankets perfect. Awesome covered porch for every meal, and the bench seats on the deck were great too. It is clear that there is a lot of care for their guests. I do want to point out that the place is very small around 520 square feet. Not a lot of room in bedrooms for luggage or anything. Could use more hooks. Also in NC real estate 1.5 bath is typically 1 full and one toilet and sink. There is a full bathroom inside and shower outside. So not two toilets. We called after booking and we're a bit disappointed about that. They should make that more clear in listing. Otherwise all was great."
