Beautiful cottage

We stayed for one night of our fall tour of NC. The house was really quite cozy . The style and decoration of this house did not disappoint. It was cleaned and very well maintained with all the things that we needed for our stay. It is an easy walk to the lighthouse and shops nearby. We enjoyed being able to see some of the historical sites on the island
