About the host
Hosted by Rebecca Nealon
I’m lucky enough to call coastal North Carolina home—where the days are a little sunnier, the pace is a little slower, and there’s always a good excuse to head to the beach. Hosting, to me, is all about the details—the comfy touches, the local tips, and those little things that make a stay feel special. Whether you’re here for beach days, good food, or just a change of scenery, I love being a small part of making your trip memorable.
Why they chose this property
What I love most about this part of Surf City is how it gives you the best of both worlds. You’re close enough to enjoy the beach, great local food, and everything the island has to offer—but when you come back to Fairytale Lane, it feels peaceful and private, like your own little escape from it all.
There’s something special about mornings here—coffee outside, a quiet start to the day, maybe a walk or bike ride as everything wakes up. And in the evenings, it’s that laid-back coastal vibe… sunsets, salty air, and just unwinding after a full beach day.
