Just what we needed.
Nice, clean, comfortable, quiet place for my family to stay after a long drive.
You are renting out this guys storage room, truck farm equipment all in your rental, internet will connect but does not work. Was rushed out at 10:50, first time meeting host, just telling us to leave 10 minutes before departure, even though we had already loaded up and were leaving. NOT 2 Bedroom Not 1 BEDROOM, 1 ROOM is accurate for this listing, only thing with a door on it is the bathroom.
To sum up if you want to rent out a garage with stupid 80 year old rules, this is the place for you!!!

Enjoyed the Boathouse
This place was a nice lay-over after beach camping and fishing. It fit these fishermen's needs as we had planned to travel to the next camping/fishing location; however, hurricane Ian cut things short.
A few things in the kitchen could improve the function of the kitchen.
More than 4 forks.
Need a cutting board.
Need some large mixing bowls.

Fisherman’s paradise
We had a great time. Great place for family or fishing crew. Our first time to Cedar Island and we loved it. House was well stocked and had all we needed. Only downfall to the house and area was we were definitely not prepared for the over abundance of mosquitos after dark!

Perfect for my family
The Boathouse was a perfect place for my family of 4 to stay. My husband and I could play pool, listen to music, cook a snack and do laundry downstairs at night while the kids were comfortably and quietly sleeping upstairs. The host was super friendly, responsive, and offers add-on services such as sport fishing so it’s a one-stop vacation!

Perfect for Hunting or Fishing Trip
The house was perfect for our recent stay for a duck hunting trip. The garage area downstairs was very clean and we enjoyed the large kitchen and pool table. The open concept upstairs with six beds worked great to where each hunter had their own bed. Highly recommend for a guys trip and looking forward to coming back!

IT’S A GARAGE!! NOT A HOUSE!!
I’m very mixed and sad that this is definitely NOT what is listed. It’s definitely NOT a 3 bedroom house. You are actually staying in their garage behind the owners house and it is converted into a man cave. You have NO PRIVACY, NO doors or blinds on the windows, so be very comfortable with who you are staying with. This would be good if it was just men having a bachelors party. NOT a Family!! I didn’t like having to cook inside a working Garage with a big truck and bigs machines in it, and it smelled like gasoline, but my 2 teenage boys loved it and the pool table was the only perk about the place. The horse flies were so bad, we where miserable. We only stayed 2 out of the 3 nights because safety was a big concern. The front door to the garage didn’t lock well so once you push on the door it opens up, so it didn’t lock well at all… so we had to prop up a chair by the front of the door. The owners are very nice and the place was very clean for what it was.. A Garage! Even with the little a/c units they had in it was still very hot. The bathroom had NO ventilation so we had to bring in a fan in there. I was very disappointed!! We had rented before from Roman last year and stayed at the other house next door and by far it was completely different by comparison. Stay at the house next door, NOT this Garage!

Refuge Among Nature
Although our VRBO search was focused on Beauford, NC, there were at the time of our late booking only two properties available. One was 6 miles away and this one that was 40- miles in distance.. Because of the unique character, description and photographs of the property located outside a National Wildlife Reserve, we thankfully made the right decision for our five member extended family by choosing the more distant of the two. We totally enjoyed being "Downeast" and plan to return again.

Misunderstood
The garage was a working garage the man cave was above the garage. Ty doesn’t work for the kids. There is no internet like it says unless you walk up to the house! The pond was BLACK. COULDN’T fish. What for real then asked for a refund refund which he did all but 100.00 I don’t know why I was there for 10 mins. SMH horrible experience. Felt like I was taken advantage of for real. Total false advertising

Just what I needed
The space is just as pictured. Nice, very clean with everything we needed and more. Roman was quickly available when I needed him and friendly to talk to. The location is remote. Next time I will bring groceries. The small store has a lot but as you would expect in a remote location it was very expensive for what we got. The pool table was a low pressure way to be playful and get to know my future daughter-in-law.

Everything was a great experience except that when I left Sunday I was covered in red itchy bug bites. Didn’t get a chance to check the sheets or beds upon leaving but it’s been pretty uncomfortable the past 2 days.

Quick Getaway
This was quick get away for a couple of days just to clear my mind after laying my Sainted Mother to rest.
The “Boathouse” is exactly as pictured on the web. It was fully stocked with everything we needed.
Ramon was the most gracious host I have ever stayed with. The offshore fishing excursion was the highlight of everyone’s trip. The WiFi access was very limited but that only caused the kids to have to be more engaged with us which worked to our advantage. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone.
