Family Time at the Beach

We enjoyed a week on the beach visiting with our girls who are at UNC. We appreciated accommodations that allowed our family dog to visit with the girls too. The gated deck and easy walkway to the beach were helpful to all. Everything was fresh and clean inside the home.

Perfect vacation

This place was the perfect space for our small family. We felt so welcomed as we entered to music playing, and bottles of water waiting. The place was clean, and neat, and all we needed! The outdoor shower is perfect!

So..you want ocean side?

This property is as close to the ocean as you can get. Great location..rental process was easy and professional. This property could easily accommodate 6 people. Good living area and kitchen is fully equipped. Two small bathrooms and three bedrooms. The best part is the outside deck. You can sit and watch the waves and you are steps from the beach. Will definitely rent this house again.

Just for the Halibut West, a great vacation house!

We had four adults and two kids (4&7) stay in JFTH and it was the perfect vacation house. I originally wanted a single home b/c we were bringing our dog and I wanted lots of privacy, but this duplex provided just the right amount of privacy. We had everything we needed and there were a few extras that really made our stay more comfortable. They had ceiling fans in each room, but also small fans too, that helped created a bit of ambient noise which is helpful when traveling with kids and dealing with bedtimes, etc. The house was very clean. There were lots of fun board games to play for kids and adults. Being ocean front was a must so that even when the kids were resting inside we could still layout on the porch and see the water and feel the breeze. I would stay there again.
