We had a great stay at Sea Star. The house is a very short walk from the beach (like 30 yards) and located about 3 miles either direction to the Emerald Isle or Indian Beach commercial areas for amenities. We had both sides of the duplex, so there was plenty of room to spread out.All linens and towels are dropped of clean and beds are easy to make and maintain. The furniture was comfortable, clean, and in good shape. There is enough kitchenware to go around, but it makes things a little easier if you know you are planning to make something that requires special tools to bring it just in case (i.e. like measuring spoons). Everything was pretty clean, no bugs, no ants. Bathrooms were clean, drains ran well.The sliding doors do not have screens, so recommend keeping them closed to sleep at night. The laundry is accessed outside through the basement, so bring a laundry bag/basket. The outdoor shower is about halfway down the walk, and there is an additional exterior hose at the driveway to wash off beach gear, keep sand out of the house.Other than that, the owners are great and had a treat prepared upon our arrival.
