I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming bungalow just about a minute’s walk from Atlantic Beach. Bright and beautifully decorated, with great attention to detail. Everything I could possibly need was provided, making it effortless to settle in and relax (just bring your clothes and a swimsuit!).One of my favorite features was the pool area right outside the door. The newly refreshed walkway and bright, inviting lighting made it a perfect spot to unwind while sitting on that front porch!.The hospitality truly set this place apart. Tommy and the owner were incredibly attentive, kind, and genuinely cared about making my stay comfortable. They were always willing to help with anything I needed, which made me feel right at home.Another highlight was the variety of coffee options available—such a thoughtful touch! Plus, the location couldn’t be better. Great restaurants are just steps away, including a visit to Tacklebox Tavern where the welcoming atmosphere made me feel like I truly belonged.Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I would absolutely stay here again. If you’re looking for a cozy, well-appointed place with amazing hospitality and a perfect beachside location, this is it.

Sandy,
Thank you so much for the kind words! I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
It means a lot to hear that the bungalow, the pool area, and those small details helped you settle in and enjoy your time at the beach. That’s exactly the experience we aim to deliver: simple, comfortable, and stress-free from the moment you arrive.
Tommy and I both enjoyed hosting you, and we’re glad you felt right at home. We also agree, you can’t beat being steps from the beach and great spots like Tacklebox Tavern.
We welcome you back any time and look forward to hosting you again in the near future!
Sincerely,
Steve Gillooly
This was a nice place to stay for my wife and I. The bungalow was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. It’s about an eighth of a mile walk from the beach which wasn’t that far to walk. The pool was nice as it stayed warm due to the hot weather and I prefer a warm swim in the evening when the weather cools down. Also this place was close to a lot of good restaurants and places to shop. Would recommend and plan on coming again.

Cute place with a great kitchen. Very convenient to walking The Circle and steps from the beach for morning walks with coffee. We have always enjoyed the off season at AB and being close to everything! Make sure you try Mug Shots coffee/restaurant just on the other side of the bridge, solid.

bungalow week away!
The bungalow is exactly as described...beautifully decorated, new, & bright! For a family of 4 it was a perfect size, right across from the beach, & convenient to town. The pool right outside the front door is great, & was well enjoyed. We even got friendly with other families. The beds definitely are uncomfortable, but everything else was great.

Beautiful bungalow! Owner was so easy to work with. Perfect place to stay!!

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Mar 2020
Susan,
Thank you for the positive 5 Star review!
I have two new sets of towels for each person in each bedroom. I can add more but, it would mean more towels that need to be washed at the end of each stay which most people don't have time to do when they check out and we have a short window of time to prepare and clean for the next tenants checking in the same day. We have to clean the sheets as well for the next tenant with all the towels within 3 hour time period plus clean the entire house.
The 2nd bedroom has the same full access to cable as the other TV's throughout the house. I wish you would have called me and I would have walked you through using the remotes.
Thank you again for a 5 Star Rating and suggestions!!!

About the host
Hosted by Steve Gillooly
I was born in Manhattan, New York, and was adopted by Bruce and Nancy Gillooly when I was four years old. Later, in the 5th grade, my family relocated to Cary, North Carolina. During my high school years, I served as the class president at Cary High School in 1987.
My pursuit of education led me to Louisburg College and NC State University, where I focused on studying Business Administration. Over the course of more than three decades, I have gained over 38 years of valuable experience as an entrepreneur and business leader, overseeing a diverse portfolio of companies.
My entrepreneurial journey began with the development and marketing of a fire-retardant product called Flame No More. Remarkably, even as a high school student, I successfully secured an investor to finance the product testing for the prestigious Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) Seal of Approval. Subsequently, I ventured into the nightlife industry, establishing one of Raleigh, NC's largest college nightclubs.
Concurrently, I founded Capital Style Luxury Transportation, Inc. in Cary, NC, which, under my leadership, earned recognition as North Carolina's largest ground transportation company for three consecutive years by the National Limousine Association Magazine. Operating a fleet of 33 vehicles, Capital Style provided ground transportation for over a quarter of a million people annually. I also served as the President of the NC Limousine Association in 2004 and 2005.
In June 2005, I completed the sale of Capital Style Luxury Transportation. I am the proud owner and operator of my own real estate firm, Gillooly & Associates Realty, LLC. My real estate endeavors include a dedicated real estate development company, Milan Realty, LLC, which specializes in residential, commercial, and office developments throughout North Carolina.
My passion and expertise lie in entrepreneurship, making it an integral part of my life's journey.
