Our family of 8 stayed here for a full week and loved the coziness of this house. The wrap-around porch was a great spot to read, talk, and play music. We were very impressed with the preservation of this very cool, old house. The modern updates of AC, nice appliances, and smart tv were really nice too. The beach was a 15-20 min drive but it didn’t feel long. The outside shower was a huge help too (especially for a big, sandy group). Loved it. Plan to return! ##### Brandon K.

But the house blew us all away! It is a perfect place to gather and be with people you love to spend time with. The wrap around porch was one of a kind and the house was spacious for our group of eight, feeling like we stepped back in time with the incredible decor. The clawfoot tub reminded us all of our childhood home! The recent restorations add a nice touch of convenience to the old, low style home. The surrounding area is quiet and perfect habitat for wildlife! We observed a number of bird species just in the three days we were here - definitely an oasis in an area that is being quickly developed without paying mind to the creatures next door. Hosts were super and helpful, very easy to communicate with. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get away and relax in a gorgeous space and a comfortable house! Thank you so much for giving us these memories that will last a lifetime!! Kate Sutherland, Hatteras NC ##### Kate S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nikki C.
