Your Private Coastal NC Waterfront Escape. Dock, deck, sun, peace, REPEAT!

10/10 Excellent
"We had such a fantastic time at this property. The home is beautifully maintained, comfortable, and in a perfect location right on the water. We especially loved the peace and quiet… it was ideal for unwinding. The sunrises over the sound were breathtaking every single morning, and having direct dock access made fishing convenient and fun (we were out there almost the entire visit!).The board games provided great evening entertainment for the family, and the kitchen and living areas were well-equipped for cooking and relaxing. Everything was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. We truly hated to leave and would book again in a heartbeat. Thank you for creating such a special place!Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing waterfront escape.For my fellow fishermen/women: we caught pinfish, croakers, seatrout, and big stingrays. Bring your cast net for all the bait you could need! Also grab some bug spray for the mosquitos that inevitably show up to annoy the heck out of you!If you happen to be traveling at Fourth of July… you are in for a treat! A neighboring home put on one of the biggest private fireworks displays I’ve ever seen!"
