We recently stayed at this lovely house, it's beautiful, nicely decorated and super clean. The whole neighborhood is very nice and quiet, we had a great and relaxing vacation. The beach is not crowded at all, even sea turtle mom decided to lay her eggs there. I wish we could stay longer; definitely coming back one day!

Wonderful stay

We loved our stay! Beautifully decorated home, clean and well stocked. The outdoor shower was very nice to have- didn’t get to enjoy the back yard/deck as much as we hoped due to flies/mosquitos. 10 min nice walk to the beach. Great location - loved the beach in PKS and loved being able to easily get to other areas- Beaufort and Morehead City becam our favorites!

Quiet and convenient to beach

We loved the location! The area is very quiet and we liked the neighborhood feel vs more developed areas nearby. Getting to the beach was a breeze walking (5-10 min) or by car (2 min). The house is very nicely decorated. The back deck and yard were great for dinners or hanging out. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again.

Ultimate Relaxation

This was our second time staying at this property. It was even better the second time, with the addition of the backyard living space and outdoor shower! We can't say enough about how much we love staying in this house. The space is perfect, the kitchen is well stocked, it's easy to get to the beach and the sound, and it's just so cozy and relaxing. We hope to be back for our third visit soon!
