short stay at the beach

excellent property for those who want a good location in "old Atlantic Beach". Easy to walk to beach, quiet, nice back yard, wireless connection was excellent for viewing streaming. A neat little house. I will definitely stay here again. All we needed but not like a shiny condo just built. I prefer the atmosphere of old Atlantic Beach and the traditional cottage feel. If you like that, you will really like this place.

Amazing Location

This property is a great place to stay. The owners were amazing! We were close to restaurants, short walk to the beach, close to Fort macon and stores. We enjoyed Smores in the backyard and rocking chairs on the front porch on a quiet street.
