613 Kinnakeet Way and Hurricane Ian
The property at 613 Kinnakeet Way, Bald Head Island, NC did not do the photographs of the listing justice. High Tides and Good Vibes exceeded expectations on every level. The word "adorable" comes to mind. Tidy, clean, sweet lines and graceful curves. My wife and I are retiring in a few years and imagined downsizing in to some thing similar. Just loved it. Thank you

Great location and setting
Beautiful forest setting but close enough to Cape Fear that you can hear the surf and feel the ocean breezes. The two porches provided an idyllic reading spot. Comfortable and tasteful furnishings. One note for shorter or less mobile adults: The master bath is a tub shower combo with an extremely high tub edge to step over and no grab bar.
