Cutest home and it was very well stocked. We loved the private back yard with fire pit and stock tank. The only negative we experienced was some pesky ants (typical for a wet and hot summer in coastal nc) and the location wasn’t as nice as we had hoped. Overall we would stay again!

We stayed in this cute little cottage for our child's birthday beach trip. We had so much fun. The house was clean, and had all of the basics to survive that first night after traveling. The owners were fantastic and quickly responded via text or VRBO. We were within 20 minutes or less of several beaches, and downtown. My only complaint was that the storage facility across the street from the home was loud and mild fumes could sometimes be smelled when outdoors. It smelled like oil and propane on the hot days. It wasnt overpowering though, so not enough to decrease the overall rating. We overall had a great time!
