Comfortable home with plenty of room in quiet neighborhood. Grandkids loved the kids bedroom. Large lot with lots of outdoor space including a large fenced-in yard for the dog. Easy walking and biking around town and to the beach.

Jp Anne, thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m really glad you and your family had a comfortable stay and that the grandkids enjoyed the kids’ bedroom—that always makes me smile to hear. It’s great that you were able to take advantage of the outdoor space and explore the area so easily. Give Indi a bug hug for me. You’re welcome back anytime!

Perfect Beach Getaway

We loved our stay at the Koi House! The location was perfect, just a short drive to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. Your home is beautiful and was just right for our group of 8! We enjoyed eating a couple of meals in, playing cards, and just relaxing after our days at the beach. We hope to return soon!

Good stay

House was overall good and as expected from the description. It was in a good locations with only a few blocks from the main part of town that was easily walkable. I am in construction so I noticed a few minor things around the house that are in need of repairs, but nothing major that would cause me not to stay at the house in the future.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

The Koi House was the perfect stay for our bachelorette weekend! Walkable to the beach & boardwalk, plenty of sleeping space, great parking. The house has the cutest aesthetic, we all loved the deck and outdoor surfboard shower. Note; the air outside is THICK with flies/mosquitos (unavoidable in coastal NC) so be sure to pack bug spray.

Home away from home

We had an extremely enjoyable stay. The house was very well appointed, clean and organized. There was a welcome board and refreshment basket awaiting us when we arrived. The fenced in backyard was great for our kids! Beds were comfortable, location was great, and we plan on returning. It really felt like a home away from home. Thank you so much! 😊

Peaceful getaway

This place is very welcoming as soon as you walk in the front door it screams welcome home. It's in a very quiet neighborhood which is great if you want to escape the daily Hussle and bussle. The neighbors are very nice and friendly there kids are very respectful they love shooting hoops in there driveway I think it's great. I would definitely book this place again in the future.

Coastal Hideway is a GEM

This was our second stay at the Koi House and it was wonderful! We love the location. A half mile walk to restaurants and the boardwalk AND the quiet neighborhood. Our pups love the fenced in yard (peace of mind for us!). The house itself is well appointed, very clean AND comfortable...we feel at home as soon as we arrive. The back deck is perfect for morning coffee and quiet time. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!
