The best was spending time with our family, and I loved the porch, and watching the boats come through. I was able to relax. Do yourself the favor and book it. It is a 10 out of 10\.

We used the hot tub several times a day, the beds are large and comfortable memory foam with excellent pillows, and plenty of space to relax and unwind on the spacious screened in porch. A few things to consider for neurodivergent or sensory sensitive folks; there were some ambient noises that are out of the owners control - the flagpole next door made a clinking noise during our windy spring trip, lots of boat traffic apparently which everyone ignores the no wake signs, and the diesel engine and lights coming from a sand barge parked in front of the island across from the house was constant day/night throughout our stay. Most people would find these to be ambient noise and would likely not affect your stay! Aside from that, we found the neighborhood to be an excellently positioned home base; the 7mph speed bump private drive and neighborhood in general were free of any “people noise” although it was the off-season. The gorgeous sunrises and sunsets are clearly visible from the private dock! We enjoyed our quick commute to Swansboro for some excellent dinners and the cottage was perfect day trip distance for traveling around Emerald Isle, Atlantic beach, Morehead City and Beaufort for shopping and eating. Jonathan made himself available for questions and was very attentive and accessible. I think families of all ages would find comfort and relaxation here and the cottage is overall a great value. ##### Dr. Andrea Lynne D. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan B. 5 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect 'on-the-water' location Everything about this house is lovely and charming. From the huge screened in porch, perfect for late night conversations, to the private deck, which we spent all morning watching the sun rise and shine on the water. Even the neighbor made a point to chat with us when he saw us outside, just to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. I can confidently say that this is the most comfortable I've ever felt staying in a rental property. The owners do such a good job at making you feel like they're letting you enjoy their home for a relaxing getaway and not that they're just renting you a property they might own. Snacks were left for us to grab along with a coffee bar, completely with a frother! Check out was an absolute breeze, they dont ask they you clean top to bottom before leaving, just that you start the dishwasher. I texted the owner a question about some lights and received an answer almost immediately, which almost never happens. Literally, the only downside is that there weren't as many beds as listed (kings in 2 bedrooms and a twin/daybed in the laundry room), but the couch pulls out into a bed and is also comfortable enough to just sleep on as a couch. However, I wouldn't be surprised if there were another twin bed or two hiding in a closet or something, as the entire property feels a little too good to be true. I've definitely rambled, but this is one property that deserves all the good reviews it can get. Thank you for letting us stay in your home!! We loved it! ##### Megan B.
