The property is in an excellent location. Easy walk to the historic area full of restaurants, cafes, shops, and more. Easy 20ish minute drive to Wrightsville Beach.

A fantastic experience, such a whimsical and beautifully decorated space, and in walking distance to everything! Being able to walk right out to door to Bespoke (an amazing coffee shop) and then along the boardwalk with our coffees in the early morning was such a highlight of our stay!
