My husband and I decided to spend our anniversary seeing the ocean as we live in Indiana and have never seen it. After the 13hr drive, we were so relieved to see that we could park on the property and walk literally 3 minutes to the beach. The property itself was very clean and had AMAZING views! We were also only a few minutes drive to restaurants and other local shops. The owner was very kind and easy to communicate with. ##### Sara L.

There was a very short walk to the beach. The beach was lovely. We enjoyed the pier and watching the surfers nearby. The kitchen had very basic supplies and could have used more quantities of cups and mugs. There is no pantry. The listing mentions beach chairs but there were only a few and next time I would bring my own. There are no linens so be sure to pack those. Overall we had a wonderful time with memories forever made. ##### Julie S.

Also, close to beach! We had a great stay! Host was welcoming and property was beautifully maintained and well equipped. It’s in the sound side of the island and has beautiful views. It’s a quick walk to the beach on this narrow island. A short bike or car ride to excellent take out. The road the house is on is your typical busy beach thruway. Not far from a beautiful park with a walkway out over the salt marsh (and a playground). ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marty G., WINSTON-SALEM 6 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay!!!! Excellent location, within minutes of anything you need. A few minutes walk to the beach, a go stroll or bike ride (a mile or so) to get a bite to eat, a nice bike ride south to Topsail Beach. The house was spacious for the 6 of us, the kitchen was stocked enough to prepare meals to eat in most nights. The downstairs area was nice and it also had a 3rd bathroom which came in handy. My wife enjoyed the sunsets from the back deck. The ONLY suggestion I would have is to have electrical outlets near the head of the bed in the master bedroom. Weren't able to use CPAP machine during the stay but it wasn't a big deal. Thanks for providing the accommodations. ##### Marty G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie G. 12 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming!

The cottage was clean, welcoming and allowed for our family to spend quality time together while still providing plenty of room for one to have their own space. We loved the view off the back porch and appreciated the short walk to the beach. ##### Ryan L.
