Everything we hoped it would be, Easy access onto the barrier island , beautifully set on the Sound with outstanding views, sunsets to die for, many great restaurants to choose from, short walk to beach access and a walkable community. We have been to many beach communities in NC and this experience ranks on the top.

Lovely home on the sound

This property is well maintained and is the perfect amount of space for three to 5 adults. We enjoyed time on the backdeck. The view was beautiful. It was a very short walk across the street (very easy to cross even with small children) to the beach.
