Great house in a great town

This was the perfect house for our family getaway. The location is perfect - with the beautiful marsh sunsets and just steps from beach access, at the end of the island without much traffic. The amenities and equipment there is better than I've ever had at a rental - plenty of bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach wagons to haul kiddos and stuff to the beach. Also two kayaks to take advantage of paddling through the marsh - wonderful! The kitchen and baths were supplied with paper products, trash bags, soap and shampoo - we felt right at home from the very beginning. I gave a 4/5 on cleanliness only because the hottub didn't seem very clean on our arrival - but the house was in great shape otherwise. Our family agreed that we would totally stay here again!

ideal house and location

A truly lovely house with gorgeous views. Everything we could think of was provided and more. A perfect place for a family from 2-65 and older. it had an elevator and cart so no schlepping groceries up 3 flights of stairs! Beds were comfy. We loved that there were 3 full-king beds as we had couples. loved the location overlooking the marsh- way more interesting than the ocean we thought and location on island is nice, not so busy at that end. Also nice to be able to walk around the marsh at this end. Host super responsive as well.

One of my favorite houses we've ever stayed in! Perfect for our family. We all loved it. Super clean, very well appointed, super easy access to the beach! The view from the back porches is unmatched. Absolutely stunning. We spent our mornings watching all the beautiful wildlife and afternoons on the beach. Will absolutely stay again.

Incredible House on North End

This house was absolutely incredible. We rented it for 3 weeks in June and are planning to do the same next year. The sunsets are perfect, the beach is not that crowded, and the Wrightsville coffee and taco shops are about a two mile walk which was perfect for us. I can't recommend this place highly enough!
