About this property

Hornet's Nest-steps from the beach

Summary:

Welcome to The Hornet's Nest! Boasting a large living space, deck, two kayaks for guests to use, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a private fenced-in area under the home for your enjoyment - this is the perfect getaway for entertaining one or more families!



The Space:

Bring your paddleboard, kayak, or jet ski and launch just a few steps away, or walk four minutes to the shore! Cruise the island by bike, or spend the day hunting shark teeth on our gorgeous beach. After a fun day in the sand, the outdoor shower is a hit. Before heading inside, be sure to indulge in some friendly outdoor competition with cornhole.



Enjoy amazing sunset or canal views and drink your coffee, via Keurig or drip, on the generous screened deck. With plenty of seating and a spacious outdoor dining table right off the main living space, the options are endless. Not to mention the private, open-air space under the house, complete with multiple couches, a high-top table, and outdoor games. Find everything you need to prepare delicious meals in the renovated kitchen, outfitted with new appliances. The large kitchen island is perfect for sharing drinks, cooking, and entertaining. Comfort awaits in the primary suite, which features a private bathroom updated with a walk-in shower. One of the bedrooms also includes a second TV to watch as you wind down. Guests in our home enjoy new, quality mattresses for ultimate comfort and relaxation.



Guest Access:

No need to get in a car each time you'd like to venture out. Our home is walkable to plenty of restaurants, bars, parks, and convenience stores. Surf City Ocean Pier and Soundside Park are within three miles and offer sunbathing amidst breathtaking ocean views. Our favorite coffee and donut shops are just around the corner at Surf City Circle.



Our decade-long journey as a USMC family took flight in the F-18 fighter jet, and as you arrive at The Hornet's Nest, we're confident you'll cherish our home as much as we have, appreciating the love and care we've poured into it over the years.



Other Things to Note:

We also supply the following for each property:

A starter kit of one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, a trash bag, and dish soap. We also supply laundered bed linens, comforters, and 1 bathing towel and wash cloth per person. We do not supply any beach gear or beach towel. We have great rental companies on the island we would be more than happy to share the info with you. We also do not supply laundry detergent, body soap or shampoo/conditioner as we find everyone has their own preferences for these =) Please review our house rules prior to your stay



Interaction with Guests:

This property is not new and has had a ton of 5 Star reviews; however, the property is under new management and therefore has to start fresh with reviews. Please see photos for a few of our awesome reviews.
