Additional items of note:

Up to 2 dogs are authorized with prior approval from the host. When inquiring, please let us know the breed and size. The pet fee is $80/dog for first two nights; then $35/dog/night thereafter.

Unexpected, additional guests:
The premises are limited to the number of guests on the reservation. Guests will be assessed $50 per night per guest that was not listed on the reservation, and we reserve the right to decline hosting these additional, unexpected guests at any time, for any reason. However, guests that desire to bring additional friends over for a couple hours during the day may do so with prior coordination.

Please let us know in advance if you would like us to set up a pack-and-play for your infant or toddler. Note: the doors come equipped with an alarm that will sound if left open for longer than a minute. This is to ensure that parents know if their children slip out to enjoy the outdoors unannounced. (In order to ensure the safety of future guests, tampering with the alarm system will result in a $250 penalty per device.)

We continue to care for the house and property. While doing our absolute best to ensure our guests' privacy and quiet, we will periodically need to do landscaping, yard work, and regular maintenance on the property. Of course, we will coordinate with guests as necessary.

BOAT OWNERS: If you plan to bring a boat, please let us know in advance so we can ensure there's parking available for the trailer and can communicate the details clearly before your arrival.

Noise complaints: in support of the strict no-partying policy, if our neighbors complain about noise during quiet hours (9 pm - 7 am) or if we have to call the police for any reason, guests will be charged $350 and subject, at the hosts’ discretion, to immediate removal from the property without refund.

Wonderful stay in Sneads Ferry

My husband and I stayed here for Labor Day. Our daughter is 8 months old, so this was her first beach trip. The house is beautifully updated with high end finishes. We loved watching the boats go in and out of the marina. We also saw so many birds. We didn’t fish, but we saw lots of fish jumping in the water. Our 2 pups joined us and they enjoyed the ample yard space. Host was quickly responsive to questions. We had an amazing stay. I just can't say enough about this beautiful house and property. We went to Topsail one day, a very short drive. Thank you Stephen for a memorable trip!

Saying Goodbye

My daughter, son in law and two of my stepsons and their wives spent a long weekend in Sneads Ferry to meet with some of my late husband’s Recon Marine friends and spread his ashes. The house was a perfect place for us to relax together. We loved the views and enjoyed the pie and fresh eggs left for us by the host. The house was well stocked with anything we needed and it was a bonus that it was so close to one of the gates for Lejeune. I highly recommend this beautiful home.

Great stay

Loved the cabin and the view of the intercostal waterway. Any issues were very minor and host made themselves available for concerns. The host actually left thoughtful treats for us upon our groups arrival.

Our Family Weekend Getaway

Our family did a last minute get away weekend for my Birthday. We had a wonderful vacation. The view from the house was breathtaking out of every window. One day, it rained and we still had a wonderful experience, just enjoying the view by the fireplace from the living room and master bedroom. Our teenagers enjoyed the games provided. The local seafood and beaches are lovely! Our host even welcomed me with a Birthday cake. It was handicapped accessible on the main floor.The house was very clean and made us feel right at home. Honestly, the best Vrbo we have ever stayed at!
