The house was just as listed and had everything we needed for a great stay! We traveled with our grandchildren and they loved it. Communication with Ludie was wonderful, and she stopped by to introduce herself to us and make sure everything was okay. The location of the home in Morehead City was nice. We were just blocks away from a park with a splash pad. It’s a quick drive to Atlantic Beach, Fort Macon, the aquarium, and Beaufort!
