Its an older home and needs some more updates, but overall nice and clean. Not a fan of carpet in any room for a beach house. But on a more positive note, we had plenty of room, liked the open concept of kitchen, dinning and living area together along with the great large side screened inporch. Nice and roomy pool area. The plus was the great access to beach. For the house not to be directly on beach, you could not ask for a shorter walk, just a hop and skip away. Gteat area to ride bikes, take nice walk, felt very safe..........From the Black Mountain, NC Folks
