Myself, my oldest son, his fiancé and her four girls had an amazing four night stay at the Whitesell’s beautiful home. The location to the beach, shopping, and pretty much everything was perfect! We especially enjoyed playing corn hole at the house along with the many other kids games that the owners provided! We met their neighbor from across the street who was also very nice and shared some local food truck options with us as well! The owners have made their home very family friendly with all the extra amenities that they also provide. Joanna was wonderful to correspond with and very attentive and accommodating to my questions. I hope that we will be allowed to come stay here again because everything about it is perfect. Cannot thank you enough Joanna! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home! .

The owner was extremely friendly and prompt with responses to questions. Check in was quick and easy. The home was clean when we arrived. The house was perfect for our family of 8. The garage made a great handout spot for the kids and added dining space. We had a folding table we brought for eating outside. Kitchen has plenty of pans and even cups for SUNSET SLUSH! There are tons of outdoor chairs and the corn hole boards were great! The beds were comfortable!The house is in a great location! Boat dock at the end of the road. Need to bring your kayaks if you don’t have a boat!Will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Joanna Whitesell

Host profile image
Our family is from Greensboro, NC. We are a family of four, with grown children. We love to be on the water and fishing.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it is family friendly. It is a great area to walk or bike. It is located near many restaurants and stores.. You are close to the beach; but far enough away to be out of busy beach traffic.

What makes this property unique

We hope our home is one you can enjoy with your family. We are located near several boat ramps. Morehead City is a 20 minute drive. You can find more commercial businesses and restaurants. We are close to Swansboro. You can find local restaurants and specialty stores there; along with Walmart.
