Sailors Choice was the perfect place for our extended weekend stay in Oriental for the Cycle North Carolina event. Steve and Sarah were very responsive to any questions or needs we had. The apartment was very comfortable and well stocked. It is on the Blackwell marina and about a mile away from "downtown " Oriental. We plan to return in the future.
