We loved everything about our stay at this vacation home, Mainsail. The house is newly renovated, and the furniture and decor are beautiful. The house was impeccably clean, which we appreciated so much because we have two small children who spend much time playing on the floor. The owners took care to go the extra mile by offering extra amenities like bikes, beach towels/chairs/umbrellas, games and toys (the arcade games in the kids room were a huge hit). The view from the great room and porch is simply breathtaking. We spent mornings and evenings on the porches listening to the ocean waves and watching rabbits, deer, birds and even a grey fox! The private beach is only a 2 minute walk, and is nice and wide with soft sand. Not at all crowded. The owners were very kind and extremely communicative and responsive, both before booking and during our stay. Harris Teeter, Duck Donuts, a Taphouse and an upscale restaurant are walkable, and its only 2 blocks from the bike path which takes you to Corolla or Timbuk2 for dining, mini golf etc. We spent every evening on the porch listening to the waves and enjoying the ocean breeze. Perfection. We couldn’t have hoped for a better stay in a better place. Thanks so much for such a wonderful vacation Mainsail!
