Very clean and great location!

We enjoyed our short weekend stay especially the convenient location. We were across the street from a Harris Teeter which made picking up dinner easy. Excellent restaurants close by as well. The property had great amenities including a ping pong table that the kids enjoyed. Easy walk to the beach too.

Perfect Vacation Spot for our Family with Children with Special Needs

Wonderful property and had everything that we needed to feel safe with our family who has two children with special needs. It was a short walk to the beach and we were surrounded by plenty of activities in the area. Rooms had everything in them to enjoy our stay and we felt right at home.

Enjoyed our short stay at this beach home. Great location despite the car wash next door which could be a little noisy at times. The owner was very good at communicating when we had any questions or concerns. I would recommend this property for small families for a quick getaway.
