The name says it all! This house really is the “Cream of the Crop!” I almost don’t want to write a review so I can keep this jewel for myself….but let me start out by saying this home has the PERFECT location - we were able to walk/ride bikes/push our stroller wagon to the park/splash pad and to get ice cream! It’s also in walking distance to the beach, restaurants, putt-putt, and shopping! The back yard view is phenomenal, instead of staring at other houses you’re view is open across the water to restaurants, the bridge, and open sky (which we were able to watch 4th of July fireworks comfortably from the back porch (which has an amazingly comfortable swing bed!) Other things we enjoyed were hanging out under the house in the open air sitting area and watching the kids play securely in the fenced-in yard, walking right down to the dock in the backyard and hopping on our boat in the canal to go riding on the Intracoastal Waterway, cooking breakfast and a few dinners in the beautiful and wonderfully stocked kitchen, and hanging out in the living room and back porch areas on a couple of rainy days we had! I also appreciated all three rooms being large and having their own bathrooms and closets, the “spare” room being set up nicely for extra sleeping space and mostly private, washer and dryer on the main floor instead of down below, beach chairs/towels/beach cart/(adult)bikes/beach toys/corn hole boards and more all provided and in great condition, towels and linens were provided and beds were made when we arrived, an extra bathroom and fridge below the house, and honestly I could go on and on and on! Allison was a dream to communicate with and always responded quickly! If you’re looking for a fantastic place to stay on Ocean Isle, this is THE house - we will definitely be back!!!
