We loved our stay here. The house was very clean and well stocked with amenities. Our 9 month old granddaughter was with us and we had no concerns with her crawling and playing on the floor. The linens smelled amazing. By far one of the cleanest places we have stayed at. Kids enjoyed ping pong, relaxing in the hammock, sitting out on the deck and playing games. The house is conveniently located to the boat ramp, newly opened coffee shop, and dollar general. Looking forward to our next stay!

We absolutely loved staying at this house. It was quiet, secluded, clean, had plenty of amenities, the sunset views were amazing. It was a 10/10 experience. We will 100% be back for another adventure.

We have used Airbnb all over the world & our family agrees this is the best we’ve stayed in. It is incredibly well stocked & this made it so easy to immediately feel at home. The views are gorgeous & the home has everything you could need. My kids loved riding bikes around the island & we were only 5 minutes from the Cape Lookout Ferry where we found beautiful shells. The host was also wonderful. We highly recommend this home.
