Nice Getaway

Our family really enjoyed our stay this week. The house was decorated cute/beachy. It had all the cookware you’d need, comfy screened in porch and a deck to sit and relax as well. The owner was great with getting right back with us if we needed anything. We were all very pleased with this rental. Thanks again!

Rodanthe visit

My husband and I stayed a few days with our small dog. We thoroughly enjoyed the property. It was perfect for us! The location was fantastic and accommodations as expected. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the ocean on one side and the sunsets on the other. We walked on the beach (literally right across the street) in the mornings. The property was very pet friendly. We will definitely be back again!

Fun beach stay

Cozy home located in between two RV parks. Beach was crowded in July due to the location of the RV parks to the left and right. The beds are very comfortable!! The linens were great as well making it a restful vacation. The home was welcoming and very clean. We did experience some theft there as someone took my sons brand new beach shoes that we purchased the same day. Otherwise, we had a great stay!!

Thank you for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed our cottage. July is indeed the busiest of the high season and most of the island beaches are at their peak for the season. Im so sorry that shoes went missing on the beach- unfortunately we cannot control that
