It's time to have the vacation you've been waiting for at this charming oceanfront home with easy public beach access. Just steps from the sand, you can take in the beauty of North Carolina's Crystal Coast. And there are no worries about bringing sand back up to the house - you can rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower before heading inside.
When you step into the Sandfiddler Cottage, you step into a simpler time. Enjoy lovely sunsets on the oceanfront deck or do a little soul-searching while resting under the stars on the porch swing. After a day of exploring, head back to the house for a family feast prepared in the well-equipped kitchen - listen to them all chattering around the two dining tables! After that, relax in the living area and watch a little TV or play games with the family.
There's plenty of room for the whole gang here, including a primary bedroom on the ground level and a bonus room. Additional amenities include a full-size washer/dryer in the garage, free WiFi, and a telephone for local calls.

RIGHT ON THE BEACH
House was good. Location was great, sitting right on the beach. Two decks, with one detached and on top of the dunes for incredible views, but both decks are in desperate need of repair. Boards are loose and sticking up, and dozens of nails heads are sticking up causing trip hazards and cut hazards if you walk on them barefooted.

Sand Fiddler
The Sand Fiddler was perfect for our stay. Plenty of beds to go around. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The decks were great and the beach access was outstanding.
We will definitely book the Sand Fiddler again.

Long weekend get away.
Lovely home with great views of ocean. Beds are soft, but there are plenty of them to choose from. Well stocked kitchen, great decks and very dog friendly. Would rent again.
