Peaceful stay on the sound

Our family loved the close location to the beach (with rented golf cart) and I loved the ability to kayak easily on the sound. We got to watch dolphins play around us in the channel!

Family Getaway

My parents are big Surf City fans, so it is extra special to take them on vacation every summer to the area. I am SO glad I came across this property - it is the perfect spot for a quiet getaway that is close to the beach and great for fishing and relaxing near the water. The sunrise view is unbelievable and my personal favorite part of our stay. The home was clean and well kept and had all we needed for a great beach week. Hope to return!

Great family beach week

The house is fabulous & worked really well with our 5 adults & pup. We cooked (very well stocked kitchen), kayaked & went to the beach. Since there are only 3 spots to park at the beach, we took it in turns to drop everyone off there, go back to the house, park & then have the driver walk back. Next time, I’d bring a collapsible cart to put all the beach gear in. All in all a great stay & we’d highly recommend the house!

Our Beach Getaway

This house was home away from home! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was clean, kitchen had everything you needed to cook with (including spices), amazing views, great fishing and made friends with an alligator. Saw dolphins and our boys caught many crabs with the crab traps! It was the perfect house to relax and just enjoy your time! If we ever make it back out, we'll plan to stay here again! Thank you, Jim & Family for sharing your beautiful home!!

Relaxing hurricane Vacay

When booking vacation, you always know a hurricane is a possibility. And while experiencing Debby wasn’t on our to-do list, we’re glad this is where we were staying. SO much room to spread out, the kitchen had every gadget imaginable, the view was spectacular, and we fished almost every day. Because of our crew, it was easier for us to drive to a public parking lot for beach access, but that was still close. Communication from the beginning was quick, and during our stay, we got regular updates about the storm and check ins. We’d love to stay again!!
