Our stay was one week long over labor day. We had ample space for the four of us, and the kitchen was well-stocked. wand loved sitting out on the back deck in the evening after beaching it from sunrise to late morning, and then site seeing and going back to the beach and shelling or over to sound to see the sunset. There are many interesting places to eat, shop, and amuse yourself. We went to Alligator river tours and saw an alligator with our kayak guide, Courtney. We recommend this activity highly as you will learn a lot and have a great time in the process. Bring bug repellant!!! YOU WILL need it!! A large hat and sunscreen are also recommended. The wright brothers memorial was fun, as were all the lighthouses in the area and the working farm on the island. Also loved seeing the largest dunes on the east coast. Pretty incredible!!! Hurricane Mos makes some great eats as well as Longboards (they have some great paintings by a local artist on the walls , all beach themed and for sale if you like!) There was a little place called Arts Place that served an amazing breakfast and you could even eat outside! on one of the many decks. Service was great at all of these places! Black Pelican was also good, but I liked my sons Mahi Mahi better than my prime rib. Our accommodations were adequate and quite comfortable and homey. The AC could get pretty cold, so you might need an extra blanket from the closet. The one shower in the bathroom I used was rather small, so I'd recommend smaller people use this bathroom The one on the other side of the house had a tub, and was normal sized and I used it when our friends left a day early. Lots of space and plenty of things to use at the beach, from chairs to toys, to boogie boards. I left a few more sand toys behind as I found them when I cleaned up the beach one day. The two swings and one hammock provided nice spots to relax and it was really lovely to relax and listen to the waves crashing. The beach was close and only a short walk through the neighboring home's yard and across the dunes. We didn't find many shells but my friend found a few sand dollars. That was a nice surprise! Take a walk to the local gas station and you will find lots of goodies you don't really need at great prices! LOL Btw, the coffee doesn't suck either! Another plus. Our host, Jim was accommodating and we took him up on a few of these suggestions! WE WILL return !!!
