The stay made it even better! Thanks VRBO! ##### Janet L. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JoEllen B., Raleigh, North Carolina 26 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Vacation House was very cute. Clean and an old school beach cottage charm. Would love an outdoor shower with hot water option and a few better knives in the kitchen. Twin mattresses were fine but bigger beds could stand to upgrade, especially the room that shares the bathroom with the twin bedroom. Overall experience was great, especially if you do what we do, which is spend most of our time at the beach. Had family with houses nearby so beach access was not an issue for us. Would continue to visit with a few upgrades, especially the outdoor shower and beds. ##### JoEllen B.

This beach house has such a perfect location! Easy and quick access to the beach and the vintage/cottage theme of the actual house is so cute. Had a wonderful week with my family! ##### Molly M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Emily E. 12 Oct 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Easy going This is a true beach cottage, best to expect rustic charm then fancy digs. ##### Emily E. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Donna M. 1 Jun 2020 Liked: Location #### Good to get away It was confusing and disappointing. I thought I was booking through VRBO but I was directed to an agency. The communication was not great. I was unaware of the pet fee at booking and it was misleading because it was not by owner as the name of the app implies. The agency was difficult to reach but we went to the office and were able to check in. The agent was polite and apologetic. We were given the wrong key for the washer and dryer but they sent someone to change the lock and were able to use the washer and dryer. The house itself is in need of some updating and repairs but was comfortable and we enjoyed the back porch. It was close to the beach and sound. I thought it was a bit overpriced for what it was but we really needed a vacation and there wasn’t much to choose from. ##### Donna M. Stayed 3 nights in May 2020 ---
