October stay

Our stay was very nice. The house was clean and comfortable although we did see a few roaches. I know they are hard to control in NC since I live here but some of my family from the north were a bit freaked out.

Great House

We enjoyed our stay at the Channel Marker. Beautiful views of the sound and the ocean. Beach access was a bit of a hike through the dunes but it’s worth it. The beach is wide and the ocean has shallow waters for kids to play. House had all the amenities we needed. However, we didn’t have kitchen towels, so may want to bring your own. Overall, great house.

Wonderful week!

Enjoyed our stay at this house! It was the perfect week to enjoy our children and their spouses. Plenty of room to spread out and have our own space. Really enjoyed the huge dining room table that fit us for eating and game nights. Only drawback I could think of was that it was an effort to get to the beach. Beautiful views, but a trek up and down the dunes, and difficult to carry everything. Overall our stay was great and we would like to come back to this house again!

Beach vacation

We enjoyed our stay. Very easy to check in. Close enough walk across the road to the beach. The beach was awesome, very deep and not at all crowded. We did have an issue with the dishwasher upon check in, it didn’t appear to be working at all and dishes were dirty and had to hand wash. Also, could use more pits and skillets for cooking in. Definitely would have brought dish towels, hand towels etc. One was not enough. Finally charcoal grill was fine, but would have used a gas grill more often if it was available.
