We loved our stay! It was so convenient to walk to the beach, and nice and quiet at the house! We brought our pup that loved taking morning walks on the beach! The cottage had everything we needed!

We had a wonderful few days at the bungalow! It is a great location within walking distance to the public beach access, pier, restaurants, and a small market. It is easy to cross the street and walk on the sidewalk. We had plenty of room for our family and enjoyed the screened porch. We stayed here after moving our son into UNCW. We hope to stay here again when we visit him throughout the year!

We enjoyed our stay! Definitely an older home but it was fine for us. Just big enough for what we needed for 2 adults and 2 children. Could use a really really good deep clean but other than that, it was great! We didn’t have any issues! Check in was easy and the host was great!

We had a great weekend here! Blue buoy is very kid and dog friendly, which we appreciated. We loved the little extras that were above and beyond, like the real pine wood floor, cute little breakfast nook with bench, and well-stocked kitchen with unusual and attractive dishes and silverware. There is a nice yard to walk the dog. Driveway was spacious and accessibility easy. There was plentiful AC in all rooms and outdoor hot water showers. Great location with walking distance to restaurants and pier and one street over from the beach. We would definitely return here!

This house was amazing for myself, my husband, and furbaby. It was steps away from the beach and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. We will definitely stay again!

This was a great place for a couple. Much roomier inside than you'd think from the outside. Love the very short walk to the beach. Host was very helpful and quick to reply. I'm not sure I'd stay with more than two people as there is only one very tiny bathroom. That being said, we'd stay again.

It was a nice place, older with dated furniture. Biggest complaint and it’s a big one, we were left 4 towels and wash clothes for 4 people for 2 days. No washer available. Not really ok fur a beach rental. A lot of people take a couple of showers a day whilst the beach.

I’m sorry you weren’t happy with the towels. There is a washer/dryer at the house for guest use.

The location is truly 5 stars. It’s easy to walk to the beach and just a short stroll to a couple restaurants. I can’t give the overall experience a full 5 stars because of an issue I had our first night. When we arrived after a long travel day, the beds were made but had no sheets. All the linens and towels were in a bag, and we did not discover this until we were ready to go to sleep. Having to strip both beds and make them up that late was stressful. There was no mention in the listing. If this is standard practice, it should be clearly stated so guests can plan. The bathroom could use some upgrades or a deep cleaning. Overall, the location is fantastic, but a few small but important details kept this from being a perfect stay.
