Of course, we will coordinate with guests as necessary. BOAT OWNERS: If you plan to bring a boat, please let us know in advance so we can ensure there's parking available for the trailer and can communicate the details clearly before your arrival. Noise complaints: in support of the strict no-partying policy, if our neighbors complain about noise during quiet hours (9 pm - 7 am) or if we have to call the police for any reason, guests will be charged $350 and subject, at the hosts’ discretion, to immediate removal from the property without refund. ## Property amenities ### Beach -

The house was a perfect place for us to relax together. We loved the views and enjoyed the pie and fresh eggs left for us by the host. The house was well stocked with anything we needed and it was a bonus that it was so close to one of the gates for Lejeune. I highly recommend this beautiful home. ##### Lee Ann S.

Our daughter is 8 months old, so this was her first beach trip. The house is beautifully updated with high end finishes. We loved watching the boats go in and out of the marina. We also saw so many birds. We didn’t fish, but we saw lots of fish jumping in the water. Our 2 pups joined us and they enjoyed the ample yard space. Host was quickly responsive to questions. We had an amazing stay. I just can't say enough about this beautiful house and property. We went to Topsail one day, a very short drive. Thank you Stephen for a memorable trip! ##### Crystal J.

One day, it rained and we still had a wonderful experience, just enjoying the view by the fireplace from the living room and master bedroom. Our teenagers enjoyed the games provided. The local seafood and beaches are lovely! Our host even welcomed me with a Birthday cake. It was handicapped accessible on the main floor.The house was very clean and made us feel right at home. Honestly, the best Vrbo we have ever stayed at! ##### jack g. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ---
