We loved our stay! The property was welcoming and clean. The fenced in yard was perfect for my dog. The conveniently located garden hose made it easy to clean up after the beach. There were thoughtful elements placed here and there, including wash pods, dish sponge, paper towels, and toilet paper. The bed was very comfortable. Of course, the vincinity to the beach was perfect. Really loved it

Thank you so much, Emily! We’re so happy you loved your stay — and that your pup got to enjoy the fenced yard too! 😊 We really try to think through those little details that make a beach stay easier and more comfortable, so it means a lot that you noticed. And you really can’t beat being that close to the beach! We’d love to have you back anytime.

Great small home just a couple blocks from the beach. Everything was spotless, which is unusual for the beach. Our pup loved the fenced backyard. And we enjoyed the location and the house. Great host communication!

The front steps are too steep and need handrails. We could never get hot water at the sink in the kitchen. And after showering, it feels like the soap does not come off of you all the way. We did enjoy the house and the front porch was nice to sit on. We like the open airness of the living room, dining room and kitchen to each other. The backyard was great for our pet, but the strong winds kept blowing the gate open.

Dennis, thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the home, especially the front porch, open living space and backyard for your pup. We’ll take a look at the kitchen hot water and appreciate you bringing that to our attention. We’re happy you enjoyed the house and hope you had a great stay on the Crystal Coast!

Great location. House was comfy, felt like home, and great fenced backyard for our dog as well. Super fun and close walk to the amazing beach. Had everything we needed, host was super nice and communicative. Short drive to Beaufort too. 10/10 We would love to rent again when we come back to the area.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I’m so glad AB Sea Digs felt cozy and homey for your stay, and that the fenced backyard worked perfectly for your pup. That little stroll to the beach really is the best, and I love hearing you enjoyed. I’m also thrilled the house had everything you needed and that our communication helped make things easy — that’s always my goal. And yes, being just a quick hop over to Beaufort is such a perk! You were truly a delight to host, and I’d be so happy to welcome you back anytime you’re in the area.
