Perfect Home Base
We enjoyed our little getaway in this quaint and perfectly stocked home base. We used the hot tub several times a day, the beds are large and comfortable memory foam with excellent pillows, and plenty of space to relax and unwind on the spacious screened in porch. A few things to consider for neurodivergent or sensory sensitive folks; there were some ambient noises that are out of the owners control - the flagpole next door made a clinking noise during our windy spring trip, lots of boat traffic apparently which everyone ignores the no wake signs, and the diesel engine and lights coming from a sand barge parked in front of the island across from the house was constant day/night throughout our stay. Most people would find these to be ambient noise and would likely not affect your stay! Aside from that, we found the neighborhood to be an excellently positioned home base; the 7mph speed bump private drive and neighborhood in general were free of any “people noise” although it was the off-season. The gorgeous sunrises and sunsets are clearly visible from the private dock! We enjoyed our quick commute to Swansboro for some excellent dinners and the cottage was perfect day trip distance for traveling around Emerald Isle, Atlantic beach, Morehead City and Beaufort for shopping and eating. Jonathan made himself available for questions and was very attentive and accessible. I think families of all ages would find comfort and relaxation here and the cottage is overall a great value.
