Our group was amazed at the access of the beach. Picture perfect location. It would be beneficial if suggested spots for food were provided. A bed wasn't made. Adding this to future trips (personally & for work). Some in the group had never been to a NC beach, and loved the experience.

This gives new meaning to beach front! This house sits very close to the beach, which was lovely. The house was clean and well maintained. Zero complaints, I would highly recommend this property for your beach vacation.
