"We had a great time at this beach house. The location can’t be beat. Very easy to get to shops and restaurants but still felt private and had incredible access to the beach. The water was just steps away. We saw dolphins on several days! The inside is just as it looks in the photos. The elevator is very small, but it got the job done for the person in our party who has mobility challenges. Host was very attentive and provided helpful instructions. The checkout process was also pretty easy. We enjoyed our stay."

C-Shore Retreat - Great Views, Steps to the sand!

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great time and the house is beautiful. The street is quiet, even with a large bday party at the house in front of us. The doors and windows blocked most of that out. I stay in alot of VBRO's and this was by far the cleanest and best stocked. This is a big deal for properties that allow pets. The complimentary snacks and drinks were perfect too. The only thing I would add is drapes you can close on the living room sliding door, for privacy from the guests to the left that may be out on the deck. But with glazed windows, even that isnt a big concern. We truly felt like we were at home. The oceanview and minimal steps to the beach with a wood plank walkway was ideal. A quick 1-1/2 drive from home in Raleigh makes this a great Wkend getway spot. We will most definitely visit again. Thank you so much!"

"We had a great time at the house. The open space area upstairs was great: the kitchen was large and full equipped, the long dining table was perfect for both eating and playing board games, and the couches allowed everyone to relax. The front porch is phenomenal, as is the outdoor shower.The house is clean, and the host was great at communicating and answering any question.Highly recommended!"
