Aside from being immaculate, the house is in a fabulous location. There really is something for everyone. The beach is directly across the street & the ocean/sound views are awesome from the rooftop deck! The listing of this house does not do it justice...There is a large patio underneath the home with plenty of shade, a picnic table, chairs, shower, parking, clothes line, charcoal grill: a great area for the guys to hang out or the kids! There is also a nice sized back yard! The decking is brand new with solar lights that light up the stairway, 2 high director style chairs sit facing bch road on the mid level deck, & there is a convenient built in bench seat on the rooftop deck. This is where the girls & I discovered how close we were to the Tanger Oulet Mall ! (directly across the hwy) We shopped in the morning & laid on the beach all afternoon. We walked to breakfast at the Dunes & walked to Wings to get souvenirs in the evenings. Jeanette's Pier is an easy walk from the road or the beach.....there was a Kayak competition & a wedding there on Saturday!! Pretty exciting...;0) If you like shelling, you will not be disappointed either. I found a huge conche (whelk) shell the first 15 minutes I was on the beach & even found a whole sand dollar! Wow. There are hotels almost next door. If family & friends want to vacation at the same time without over crowding you at your house, they can! The open style of the livingroom & dining area is perfect for keeping everyone in on the action.....you can cook & still be part of the party! The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of storage & new appliances. Everything worked as it should- the washer, dryer, endless hot water, toilets all flushed, the oven, the ice machine, the TV (tons of channels), free internet access, the iron, the vacuum, fans, lighting....and I must stress that you will feel at home there. The decorating is very cottag-ie & beachy.....the women will love it & the men will appreciate the fact that the women are so happy & comfortable in the house. Even the neighbors were friendly & understanding that we were on vacation! LOL. I must also say, the owner is very attentive to his renters and their questions. It was a pleasure doing business with him. I would recommend this house to my family & friends without hesitation, as long as they didn't want to rent it the week I want it! My husband & I will definitely return in 2012!!!
