This place has everything you could want — game room/weight room, pool, outdoor communal fire pit, quick and easy access to the beach, good parking, fully equipped kitchen, a spacious private patio, beautiful and clean rooms. Communication with the renter was great — very friendly with clear and helpful instructions for checking in. And they were quick to respond to questions and issues.
This was our first trip to the island and we're already planning our return (especially since we didn't make it out to Shackleford as we had planned). It took us some time to get acquainted with the grocery situation which was a bit of a drive but the landscape of the island is so nice we didn't mind. Unlike Topsail, Surf City, Wrightsville, Carolina, etc., on the Atlantic/Indian Beaches you see more trees than houses and you can almost always see water from the main road.
Just lovely.
