The host was exceptional with communications and instructions. The house was very clean and artistically decorated and comfortable. It was a quiet and peaceful neighborhood and the sunset at the harbor was amazing.

Slight musty smell upon arrival triggered some allergies requiring otc meds. Rooms a little crowded with furniture…sometimes less is more…? Great showers! Location excellent! I liked the wallboard…simplistic and cozy. Really didn’t have to use kitchen area but it was very well stocked with wares. Howes point beautiful. Host was very attentive all week with suggestions & recommendations for local activities. Would definitely stay again for the price! Thanks again!

Thanks for your reply. Vacationing across the street from the intracoastal if you are from WV might affect your sense of smell. It’s salt air…just a little musty. One reason we love it here. Glad you were able to enjoy the early morning fishing, biking and the beauty of our community.

Was the perfect place for 2 people and a dog. plenty of space didn’t have to share a bathroom 5 minute bike ride to the pier or the intercoastal Beach. 15 minute drive to Holden or oak island beach will definitely be back!

My family had a fantastic vacation at this property. The house was clean and cozy and had everything we needed. The location is optimal for driving to Oak Island or Holden Beach. My kids enjoyed the bicycles and were able to ride to the fishing pier, which has incredible sunsets btw! Property owner was very nice and communicated very well. The was very responsive to any needs we had. We will definitely stay here again.
