TVs had a guest-set Roku situation and the main living area was very comfortable. 2 minute walk to the beach made things with our 6 year old easy! We could easily come back for bathrooms and lunch. The outdoor shower had hot water too making beach clean up easy and comfortable. Price was great and the house was immaculately cleaned. 10/10 would recommend ##### Travis H.

The beach access is just across the street from the house which makes for an easy trip. The house came well stocked with many of the daily items you need like foil, detergent and things like that. The way the house is split up it is like two separate living areas which makes the house feel far bigger than it is. Over all I would recommend this house. ##### Travis M.

This home is beautifully decorated! The layout is great and accommodating. Our family of ten had plenty of room to spread out during our stay.

Jul 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, house and host Great location. Beach access was a short walk across the street. The street was busy so small children will need to be accompanied by an adult to help cross the street. The house was very clean, and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, and cooking ware. A special perk were the beach chairs, umbrella, wake boards and even cornhole. The beach itself was a great time with warm water, small surf, no undertow or rip tides. Low tide would be especially good for smaller children with shallow water all the way out to a sandbar. Mostly families, some On shore fishing, but didn’t hinder our stay. Just the description on the website says three bathrooms but there are actually two full bathrooms, with a great shower outside with hot water and privacy. Host was very responsive, and quickly reply to all of our questions. We spent some time in Southport which was a quick 15 minute drive, lots of restaurants and small cafés. Rental highly recommended. Would come back again. ##### Paula D. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wilson S.

It exceeded all our expectations. The house was clean, easy to get to, close enough to town for eating out and for some souvenir shopping. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, and every room had everything they needed for a nice stay. We really enjoyed the views from the balcony, short walk to the beach and all the entertainment that this home provided. The arcade video game was a hit! The well-stocked beach supplies and bikes and the placement of items made our stay easy and comfortable. Host, Matthew, was easy to talk to and responded very quickly when texted. He even provided several recommendations for eating out. We'd love to stay there again if we return. Thank you for making this a great family vacation! ##### Wilson S.
