Clean room, property is on the front of the building second room from the corner. It is not on the ocean side. We will be staying their again. Hosts were really nice and polite.
Clean property right by the beach! Close to gas station and Dollar General which was very convenient. Great communication with the property owners. Would definitely stay here again!
Perfect little get away for an individual traveler. Easy check in/out instructions. Loved the private beach access. Close to state park, restaurants and shops as well.
My stay was amazing! Though it was just my partner and I, the room was cozy and had all the essentials we needed. It is located in a quiet area and the beach was just a walk away which we enjoyed. Thank you so much for our stay!
Stayed here with our small dog. Studio condo was clean, well stocked and bed was comfortable. Pictures accurately represent property. Smooth check in and out. Loved easy access to quiet, dog friendly beach. Restaurants are close, have great food and are also dog friendly. Crab Claw had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner. We would definitely stay here again.
Very comfortable, cozy studio. Everything you would need for a weekend or week or more stay. Beautiful views from the second floor balcony and literally steps to the beach. Quiet and convenient to everything you could need or want. Perfect little get-a-way!
Right next to the ocean as promised. Was so nice to be able to walk down and right back to our room at night. Right across from Dollar General which came in handy when I couldnt find my contact solution. Definitely recommend!
Perfect for a young couple. Rather tight fit but we knew this before arriving. Difficult to get comfortable at night. Great location!

Hi Nina. The unit was as advertised a Studio unit. Also the location was advertised as well as the expected view. As with all rentals if the guest desires to bring a pet there will be a pet fee. This is to compensate for an increase risk of damage. This again is written in the rules and policies. Please in the future read the details of the listing before booking or ask your host if you have any specific questions. This will alleviate any concerns or surprises. Thank you :)

Weekend Getaway
Overall good place. The picture showed balcony ocean view and my impression from description was a private balcony. You can see the ocean but have to go to the back of building. There’s only one little closet to put your clothes which we did not used because it is also where the cleaning supplies go so I did not feel good about that. Bathroom could have used a better cleaning and is very important to have a full length mirror. The hosts were very communicative and clear on check in and out instructions. They even left us a birthday card which was very thoughtful.It is a very beautiful place.Thank you for having us.
This unit was extremely clean and the mattress was super comfortable. My only complaints are that the bed has no space on either side of the wall and it makes it difficult to get in out of bed. There is no room for a bedside table for phones, books, etc. It may be better to have a bookcase headboard??? Plus, the futon sofa was not comfortable after awhile to watch television or curl up with a book. I would much prefer a regular sleeper sofa. The kitchen was well stocked and I appreciated having a pair of scissors to cut off clothing tags! The location was perfect for restaurants and Food Lion, as well as a quiet beach with easy access. The complex was very quiet. We really enjoyed our stay!
The unit was indeed very tiny. The pictures on the description show the one bed with several different linens on it and for those who don't pay close attention (me) it seemed like there was more than one. So when we extended the futon for a second bed that took a tiny space and made it wee. The floor was turning our feet gray as we walked barefooted so we ended up buying dollar store socks to wear inside.
Now, for a single person not looking to pay exorbitant prices this unit is perfect. The grounds are well kept and you are moments from the beach.

About the host
Hosted by Sun, Surf & Sand Vacation Rentals
If you are looking for a Clean and Cozy Beach Getaway, literally 50 yards from your unit to the Crisp Ocean Breezes and the Warm Sand between your toes, then you have found the right place! Come join us for some Sun, Surf & Sand!
Why they chose this property
The property is right on the beach, and the people are friendly. The community offers a pool, 3 BBQ Grills, Outside Dining areas, a Fish Cleaning Station, and a huge area of untouched green grass. It's just the perfect place if you want to stay right on the beach and avoid the hassle of those crowded beaches. Did I mention the Surf Fishing is abundant and there is a little known sand bar just in front of the property which offers the perfect spot to catch that Red Drum. There are tons of fantastic restaurants in the area, the NC Aquarium is just minutes away and with Morehead City and Beaufort so close you will not run out of activities.
What makes this property unique
The Beach is Never-Crowded so it feels like you have it all to yourself. While the unit itself does not have an Ocean View, there are plenty of areas for outside seating that offer Marvelous Ocean Views. Pelicans and Dolphins can often be seen from our Beach Entranceway Gazebos. The Sunsets are out of this world!
