Great get-away

This house was SO peaceful! Beautifully remodeled! VERY clean!! Great location...just steps from the beach. I loved getting up and having my coffee while watching the sunrise. The screened in porch was so comfortable. This house is on my go-to list to revisit.

100% Exactly How Listed on VRBO

Property was quaint, yet modern. It was refreshing to have a listing be exactly as you hoped. Update on property was well done and we were more than happy to stay there for our week plus vacation. We would be grateful to stay there again in the future.

The host was very quick to respond, to any questions. The decor was a cute beachy vibe. The inside was nice and clean. One thing I would recommend would be to put some curtains on the glass part of the doors. At night it felt like we were in a fishbowl. The outside could use a little I’m clean up, front and back yard. The bed squeaks a lot. Otherwise it would’ve been a five star review.

Relaxing vacay

Loved this cozy house. Just a short stroll to the ocean. The beach was not crowded - we had the shore to ourselves. Will definitely return. Also the staff at Rent with Integrity were great to work with as I needed this as a last minute booking.

House is in really good shape...a knife sharpener in the kitchen would be nice as well as a short extension cord in laundry room to be able to move stand fan. Such a short walk to the beach! All in all, pretty sweet!!!

Relaxing hideaway

My husband and I did a quick M-F getaway to celebrate my birthday. We had never been to Alligator Point before and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect - clean, updated, and stocked with all the essentials. It was steps from the beach which was amazing. An added bonus were the neighbors- both two legged and 4 legged, lol. Everyone we met was so friendly.

Wonderful cozy cabin

We love this cabin! Styled with a modern, minimalist aesthetic and very clean and comfortable. Literally 1 min walk to the beach. You can watch the sunrise from the screened-in porch if you so wish. A great kitchen and a cozy living room with a smart TV with plenty of movies to choose from at night. Friendly, quiet neighbors. We will definitely be back.

The Perfect Week

Our family had the perfect week in this cutie little cottage. Although small, we never felt cramped. The layout was just perfect. The house was sparkling clean when we arrived! The location to the beach couldn't have been better. My only recommendations are a air conditioning unit in the bunk room (it was hot!) and TVs in the bedrooms. We hope to be back soon!

Amazing!

We really enjoyed our get away! This house is so cute and so clean! We loved everything about it. It was so close to the beach. Very quiet neighborhood. The only suggestion i have would be placing blinds on the 2 exit doors. My husband was a little concerned at night about who could see inside. Overall we were very pleased and can't wait to come back again! If this house ever goes up for sale i would love to buy it!
