When you arrive to this home your first instinct will be to run up the inviting ramp to see the ocean and beach just steps away and breathe deeply that fresh salt air, but as you turn around many surprises await you. The first is the shimmering inviting pool, complete with lots of seating and pool toys. Then you will notice the 4 different deck areas on which to relax and enjoy the amazing views
Inside you’ll be greeted by a large comfortable living area with a smart tv, an assortment of beach reads and lots of games. There’s seating for 6 at the dining table and an additional 4 bar stools at the kitchen counter. The modern kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare your favorite meals The conversation easily flows from the kitchen to the living area. If you’re a grind your own beans coffee drinker, there’s a grinder and a pot to brew them in. Nothing like the smell of freshly ground beans brewing to wake everyone up! The kitchen is amply stocked to enjoy every meal from breakfasts to midnight snacks.
Perhaps you’d like to have your meal on the covered porch, or just have morning coffee or afternoon glass of wine while you discuss the next day’s plans in the various porch chairs overlooking the ocean. You have a fantastic view of both the pool and beach activities not to mention the spectacular sunrises and sunsets.
On the main level are two bedrooms that share a bath with a combination tub & shower. One bedroom has the perfect setup for kids with 2 sets of bunk beds. The first is a pair of twin beds (roll-off prevention railing on top), and the other is a double bed down below and an upper twin. Lots of late-night conversations and stories await in this room!
The second bedroom on the main level is beautifully decorated with a queen-sized bed and a smart-tv.
Upstairs beckons a delightful surprise. Both bedrooms have their own private balconies overlooking the Atlantic. What a perfect spot to watch the sunrise or sunset. You might even slip away from the activities downstairs for a quiet spot to read. Watch for ships headed for the Port in Wilmington. One bedroom has a king size bed and the other has a Queen and both bedrooms have smart TVs and share a full bath with tub and shower.
All the bedrooms have nice-sized closets for unpacking your suitcases. On the bottom level, find a full-sized washer & dryer to keep the towels & bathing suits ready for the next day’s fun. Also in the utility room, you will find a myriad of pool & beach toys, folding beach chairs and even a cart to carry it all to that perfect spot to play at the water’s edge. Rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower equipped with hot & cold water.
If you brought your pole and caught your dinner, add some flavor to your catch using the provided charcoal grill.
This is the cottage to Sea & Believe all the fun that awaits you!

The views and the walk to the beach was great! Stayed for a whole week with my family and it couldn’t have been better. The kids loved the pool and running back and forth from the beach to the house! Great location.

Communication with the team was prompt and helpful—any questions we had were answered quickly and kindly. Highly recommend this place for families looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-managed home near the beach!

Just returned from a wonderful week at Sea & Believe! Loved that it was steps from the ocean! My boys were able to go from the pool to the ocean whenever they chose to! Only downfall was the washer/dryer is down in the basement and the steps were pretty steep! Overall we loved the property!

The house was well furnished with many extras! We loved the pool after spending a long day at the beach! We will definitely be back!

House is in great location. Beautiful views and decorated well with comfortable feel. Pool was great and it had everything we needed including chairs, floats and beach toys!
We enjoyed this beautiful home for a week for a girls trip! Four generations! Back porch was our favorite place to be. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Rooms were nice and spacious. Bathrooms were nice. The items stocked for the beach was amazing. Beach chairs, boogie boards, & umbrellas. Washer and dryer being in the basement was great!

My family loved our stay in Shore Foundation Beach house. The Oceanview location was very close to the public beach access. The elevator made it so easy to bring up our luggage and groceries. We also enjoyed having a pool and hot tub. The house was clean and the kitchen had everything needed to prepare a meal.

Lily,
Thank you for your review! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to seeing you again!
Great House! Offers everything you could want! We had 3 adults and 5 kids. Plenty of room (and bathrooms) for all. The location is quite possibly THE BEST location on the island. Less than 2 minute walk from the back door to the water! Easy for kids or older people to navigate. Couldn’t recommend more!

Sea and Believe
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Perfect location and quiet end of the island. The pool was absolutely wonderful.
Only two criticisms—the floor was not very clean throughout and the coffeemaker was a problem. I should have reported the coffeemaker right away—my bad.
The management is very responsive.

Awesome ocean view
We really enjoyed the amazing ocean views from the multiple decks at the home of Sea and Believe. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals and the large kitchen table seated the six of us perfectly. The beds were comfortable and we especially liked that all the bedrooms had closet and drawer space so we could empty our suitcases. It’s a beautifully decorated home at a beautiful, seaside location!

Mike & Charlotte,
Thank you for booking your stay with us!! We are so happy your enjoyed your vacation and especially the home!
Location was wonderful! The kitchen and living area could have been cleaned more thoroughly. The listing did not specify that there would only be bath towels so we did not have any beach towels or kitchen towels. Be sure to bring those and extra toilet paper and paper towels! Beautiful views!
