Perfect house for our visit. Love the breezes in many rooms thanks to sliding doors and windows. Loved the open spaciousness of the living room and how it was perfectly connected to kitchen. Beds comfy and kitchen had all we needed for cooking. Furniture great and comfortable too. Location was nice, especially being at end of street. Peaceful, quiet, private.

My sons and I really enjoyed staying at this house. It was very comfortable and gave a home kind of feeling. The location is very convenient. We had no issues communicating with the owners and did so many times throughout our stay. The house is stocked with all the basics and more.

The rental was clean but it was a bit outdated. Sheets and towels were provided. It was fine for a group of guys duck hunting for the weekend. The layout was a bit strange and would be difficult for a family. It was "guy" friendly.

Great location made for close access to Oregon Inlet for fishing. Close to several restaurants for dining. Spent both evenings on the back deck. Kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Cottage is located just off the beach Road for easy access to everything it allows for privacy.

Great location. Close to everything. We didn’t cook while there, but it looked like they had every pot and pan you could need. Indoor temp is controlled by owner remotely. He responds very quickly to a text request to change the temp. Simple enough. Great value, too. Can’t find these rates anywhere nearby. Hosts are friendly and respond quickly to any questions.
