Nice house and a perfect set up for our visit to Matthews and Cardinal for a family wedding. The kitchen was especially well equipped and the house is conveniently located to town and groceries. I highly recommended visiting the Matthews museum especially if you’re into history.

Great location. Less than a 10 minute drive to several beach access points. Grocery store is a 5 minute drive, plus lots of local shops. Home was clean and well stocked. I’m most impressed with the host. They were the most pleasant host I’ve come in contact with. I travel for work on a weekly basis and these folks stand out. If I’m back in the area, I hope to be able to book with them again.
