Family Home + Fire Pit & Deck, 11 Miles to Beach!

The house is located in a quiet neighborhood with a Dollar General close by for essentials. The master bedroom has a king size bed, and the others all have a queen size, which was harder to find than you might think, and the biggest reason we chose this house. The kitchen has a variety of items for meal prep, plenty of dishes and silverware, and the dining room accommodates a large family nicely. However... There were a lot of things about this place that, had we known about them from the beginning, we would not have chosen this house. We found out about hidden chores after making our final payment - such as being responsible for washing all towels and linens to be ready for the next guests, instead of things being cleaned and sanitized by a cleaning crew. On arrival, we found some rules and expectations in the binder that we found unrealistic - such as not being allowed to sit on furniture if you had worn sunscreen that day. The house was surface clean, but had areas that were obviously neglected over time. Also we pulled multiple dirty dishes from the cabinets, the washing machine was so loud we couldn't have a conversation in the next room, and we didn't risk spending time in the yard after being informed it was infested with fire ants. Overall, we felt the owners were far more concerned about how we took care of their home, than they were about our feeling "at home" while we were there. We wouldn't choose to stay in this house.

We had 2 families sharing the space with room to spare. I and my 4 kids and my cousin came with her husband and 4 kids. The neighborhood was safe and family oriented, the house was well appointed and had everything we needed. We will absolutely return for a longer stay next time!

This was a really great location for Emerald Isle beaches. The back yard is great for kids and the neighborhood was really quie. Plenty of house space for big families.

Property was spacious and clean. In a quiet neighborhood about 10 miles from the beach, it was perfect to visit our military granddaughter

Very well kept and beautiful little getaway
