Amazing beach house
We had an amazing time at Mint 2 be! The house itself was IMMACULATE and was equipped with everything we needed and more! We enjoyed the pool during the day and in the evenings the hot tub was perfect! We were a short drive to Publix, coffee, restaurants and a very short walk to the beach. If I could give more than 5 stars I definitely would! We will be coming back!

Everything you need at Mint2Be
This new beach home was a perfect 10 for a 3 night stay in February. The hot tub attached to the pool was excellent during this winter trip and you can see some ocean from the front door and windows. In the summer, you’ll have a *short* walk to the beach and we’re already considering coming back to enjoy an Oak Island summer trip. The home is spotless and we did not Want for anything. It’s all there! We would absolutely one back.
