We were here for a Marine retirement ceremony. This place is huge! It has a beautiful sun porch that is closed in and a deck outside of that with chairs to sit and watch the sunset. It was very clean and comfortable. I recommend it if you need to be close to the Marine base especially.

This is the cutest little house. It was clean and decorated super cute. The host had great communication and addressed any concerns quickly! Keep in mind this house does not have a bathtub- it is shower only. We traveled with two adults and four children. Even though the house was only two bedrooms/one bathroom- it was still just enough for our family. We loved the view from the property and being able to access a dock. It’s super quiet and peaceful at the location. We look forward to our next stay with the host at around this beautiful location!

We enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving here. The host was on top of things and very helpful with a small issue we had with the door code. The grill outside was a nice touch. My boyfriend's son is a Marine at camp Lejeune. We were here to visit him for the holiday and plan to stay here when we come to visit next time.

Cozy and Simple

Little boathouse cottage was plenty for my family and I. Beautiful back porch overlooking dock and inlet was perfect for morning coffee and breakfast. Short ride to the beach and shops and yet far enough away from main drag. Stay here for quiet and relaxing week.

Comfy little cabin for a peaceful getaway. Close enough to shopping and tourist areas for comfort but quiet and serene to escape to. Beautiful setting for relaxing. The closed in porch was heaven.

The house and water view are relaxing and spacious. We were able to park our deep-v boat at the dock and trailer in the driveway. The sunroom is like having a 3rd bedroom/living room area. We had a wonderful family vacation and enjoyed the water, fishing and throwing the cast net from the dock, using the grill and enjoying the area.

Perfect

This was the perfect house for our trip. There’s plenty of room for four people. The sunroom and back deck were really nice, especially with the view of the marina off the deck. The hosts were friendly and were available for if we needed anything. The house was close to the beach and restaurants, only about 15 minutes, but was out of the way enough that it felt secluded and private. Definitely will be returning to this house in the future and I highly recommend it
