We had a wonderful time at this house ! It was very clean and set up well. We loved some of the unique touches like the record player and useful things to use for the beach! A short drive to many beaches and places to eat! We will definitely be back!

Family beach vacation
This home is clean and newly finished. Nice open living space, comfortable beds and nice appliances. Kitchen has everything needed to cook, big table for family meals and games, and there is a gas grill downstairs.
There were boogie boards, sand toys and beach chairs available for use which was great for the beach. Beach is short drive but parking was easy to find. Neighborhood is quiet and the balconies were really nice in the morning for coffee. No views of the beach but very calm.
There were issues with the home being properly stocked with beach towels, toilet paper, dishwasher pods etc which was annoying but the host did quickly address these issues and was very easy to communicate with.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay!
Area is really great- we found several nice restaurants, enjoyed a sunset from the pier, climbed the Oak Island lighthouse and took a day trip to Bald Head Island.

Great place to stay
Absolutely fantastic beach house! From the quiet neighborhood to the cozy interior, this place had everything we needed and more. The thoughtful touches like spare toothbrushes and other essentials were a lifesaver. It truly felt like a home away from home. Can't wait to come back!
