Wonderful stay in Sneads Ferry
My husband and I stayed here for Labor Day. Our daughter is 8 months old, so this was her first beach trip. The house is beautifully updated with high end finishes. We loved watching the boats go in and out of the marina. We also saw so many birds. We didn’t fish, but we saw lots of fish jumping in the water. Our 2 pups joined us and they enjoyed the ample yard space. Host was quickly responsive to questions. We had an amazing stay. I just can't say enough about this beautiful house and property. We went to Topsail one day, a very short drive. Thank you Stephen for a memorable trip!

Saying Goodbye
My daughter, son in law and two of my stepsons and their wives spent a long weekend in Sneads Ferry to meet with some of my late husband’s Recon Marine friends and spread his ashes. The house was a perfect place for us to relax together. We loved the views and enjoyed the pie and fresh eggs left for us by the host. The house was well stocked with anything we needed and it was a bonus that it was so close to one of the gates for Lejeune.
I highly recommend this beautiful home.

Great stay
Loved the cabin and the view of the intercostal waterway. Any issues were very minor and host made themselves available for concerns. The host actually left thoughtful treats for us upon our groups arrival.

Our Family Weekend Getaway
Our family did a last minute get away weekend for my Birthday. We had a wonderful vacation. The view from the house was breathtaking out of every window. One day, it rained and we still had a wonderful experience, just enjoying the view by the fireplace from the living room and master bedroom. Our teenagers enjoyed the games provided. The local seafood and beaches are lovely! Our host even welcomed me with a Birthday cake. It was handicapped accessible on the main floor.The house was very clean and made us feel right at home. Honestly, the best Vrbo we have ever stayed at!
