"We really enjoyed our stay at this home. The home is very clean, with comfortable beds, and is nicely furnished and decorated, with ample kitchen ware. We didn't go for the beach, but the causeway is very close for beach access. There is a unit next door but they are separated by a breezeway, so it was very private and quiet. A much better alternative to a hotel room - you've got a whole house! We did speak with the owner who is engaged and wants to make sure all is well at the house for...

"The property was better than we even imagined. Eight women for a girls trip and it could not have been any better. The house was VERY clean. The view was to die for. The walk to the beach was the easiest experience for a 63 year old woman. The kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The host was very quick to respond to me. Do not hesitate if you are considering this property. Even though it was considered a townhome it was plenty of privacy. Best choice you can make for a six bedroom unit!!!"

"My family & I will forever treasure the memories we made at Founders Manor! Ocean Isle has always been a special place for my family, I grew up visiting the island frequently. This was the first time we had been able to get the family together for a trip like this in many years. My grandparents are getting older and it may have been our last chance to do a trip like this with them, so it was incredibly special to be able to spend it in this historical house. The house is beautiful and has plenty of space. The location is just incredible and the views are such a treat. The dogs had the time of their lives zooming up and down the yard and I was glad they were allowed to join us. The house was also very clean and I appreciated that many things were provided and not something we had to think about (linens, etc). Marnie is an excellent host. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!"
