My wife and I stayed here for a weekend get away over Memorial Day weekend. While a little further out of town than we realized, the quiet and peaceful nature of the house made resting & relaxing very easy. The home was sufficiently stocked with necessities and had everything that we needed for our stay.

Great very clean property

We were only here for two days for a wedding but the house was updated and very clean. It has everything you would need for vacationing. The only thing I could say anything about is the tiny bathroom and the cinder block walls but I still give this rental 5 stars.

Family Reunion

We were in town for a family reunion. The house was immaculate. The hosts were AMAZING!! I had a hard time getting the door to work for me with the code and they emailed me back and forth without delay so I could get in. Very cozy home and quiet neighborhood.

Very quiet and peaceful location. The home was very clean, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The beds and pillows were perfect for me. Add in the room darkening blinds and it was just the respite I was looking for. Easy drive to Harkers Island Ferry, Beaufort or Atlantic Beach.
