Super Cute and Beachfront

The Highlights

New air conditioning installed in 2025.

Escape to this charming one-story beachfront retreat. What’s the point of being right on the beach without plenty of outdoor space? This home offers an abundance of both covered and open-air living areas. Whether you want to dine outdoors, read a good book, take in the ocean view, or simply relax in a lounge chair, the choice is yours. A few easy steps down from the deck and you’re just moments from the water’s edge.

Inside, the home reflects the creative touch of the owner, who is an artist. The playful yet peaceful interior has an open floor plan that brings the kitchen, living, and dining spaces together in one large area. The living room features a spacious sectional that’s perfect for gathering at the end of the day to watch a movie, play games, or chat about the day’s adventures. The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals when you choose to dine in, and there’s plenty of seating at the dining table and granite breakfast bar.

The primary bedroom includes a king-sized bed, private balcony access, and a full en suite bath. You can even watch dolphins from bed. The second and third bedrooms include a king and queen bed, respectively. The fourth bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed, and the owner is adding a twin trundle for additional sleeping space. These three bedrooms share a full hall bath with a tub and shower combination. A pack 'n play is available for little ones—just bring your own sheets.

If you’re traveling with a larger group, there’s another home across the street—Rolf's Crabby Daddy—that sleeps eight more and offers a beautiful view of the lagoon. Guests at either home are welcome to use the beach and lagoon access points shared between the two properties.

Sleeping Arrangements (Main Floor):
Bedroom 1: King bed with private bath and balcony access
Bedroom 2: King bed
Bedroom 3: Queen bed
Bedroom 4: Twin-over-Full Bunk Bed (with twin trundle coming soon)
Shared Full Bath

Wonderful Spot

We came here with family for a 60th birthday party and it was perfect. The house is rustic but clean and cozy and neat. It had everything we needed and we were extremely comfortable. The outdoor space was to die for. I highly recommend this spot. We will be back.

This property is wonderful if you love privacy and being right on the beach! At night we enjoyed the spacious deck.

Wonderful Family Vacation!

We celebrated our daughter’s 16th birthday. We had plenty of room for the 9 of us. It was comfortable! A home away from home! Love the layout of the beach home! Great communication. Had a problem with the air but when reported they were quick in getting out to resolve it. Made lots of family memories! Love how close it is to the beach! Highly recommend! We hope to be back soon! ❤️

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location. It seemed like we had a semi-private beach! Could sit on the back deck all day. Family friendly set-up with large central seating area and plenty of seating on the back deck. The other reviews were very helpful in providing details on extra things to bring - dish towels, extra cleaning supplies, etc. Kitchen was well equipped! Would definitely come back!

Easy Beach Access

Property is great. Only complaint is the AC unit needs replacing. Older heat pump unit just couldn’t cut it on two hot days. Up to 83 during day but was cooler than outside and cooled down overnight. Even that didn’t necessarily hinder our stay. Just walk the 50 yards to the water and problem solved. Not overly crowded beach area at all.

Rolf’s Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. The house was conveniently located and all rooms were on the main floor. We had plenty of room. It was only a few steps to the beach. It was nicely decorated suited for the beach. There were a couple of things that would have made our stay absolutely perfect. The refrigerator/freezer had a seafood smell that we couldn’t get rid of with baking soda and cleaning. Also it would have been nice to have a Smart TV in the master bedroom, one was in another bedroom. Other than those things, we had a wonderful time. We look forward to going again. Thanks, Lori B

Great Location and Back Deck

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We travel to G.S. each year for a family trip with Aunts and Uncles. The back deck being shaded was a great feature for the older adults. The close walk through the sand to the water was also a plus. We did book in July and struggled to keep the house cool. I don't know if it's an undersized unit or too much heat outside. We had too use box fans to make it through the night. Overall the family loved the house but unless the AC is addressed, we will find another location.
