The house itself was a very nice and clean space. Unfortunately there was an issue with the AC and being I had 2 over 80 family members with me we could not stay there.

It's been extremely hot in North Carolina, not sure why the A/C wasn't cooling appropriately as you reported. I immediately called the A/C repair service man to schedule a time to come repair it. Eric from Intercoastal Heating and Air, Surf City, NC reported the next morning (Saturday) that the A/C unit was working properly without any issues noted.

Great location if you're bringing your boat. Hampstead traffic is horrible, so traveling Hwy 17 is strategic. Great house! Very roomy and the owners are very cordial and accomodating.

Great stay at the beach!

Home was extremely clean, comfy and not to far from the beach! Had all the basics that we needed for a long weekend there. Tammy was wonderful and called before hand to let us know to bring extra towels and some small issues she found at the house the day before (that didn't effect us at all and wouldn't have even noticed if she didn't mention it). Will definitely be saving this house for future stays!

Large, clean, and quiet

Well appointed standalone house close enough to the intercoastal waterway to get a little ocean air when there is a breeze. The 3BR house is large and clean. Good WiFi, easy check in, and covered parking if needed. The water seems to be from a well, so bring bottled water if hard water bothers you. My sure to do a morning on the large porch, it’s nice.

Birdsong

Our family enjoyed the weekend away. Three bedrooms, two baths, large open kitchen. Large TV. Front porch. Friendly hostess and neighbor. My favorite spot in the morning was the front porch deck. So many birds were singing the sun up.

Family Trip

Great open layout in house. Twin bed is just a mattress against the wall, not on a frame. Needs some attention to cleaning. Need vacuumed under furniture, bed side tables dirty, shower shelves need cleaned, bathroom floor, dust the nick knacks and trim. Owners were nice.

Loved it

The Owner Tammy was super nice. The house was huge, very clean, and the beds were comfortable. The owner gave us heads up about the sulfur smell in the hot water and we just turned every faucet on when we arrived and let the hot water heater run out. Once it replenished everything was fine. We didn't have any issues with the sulfur smell the rest of the stay. The area was quiet. It only took us 15 minutes to get to Surf City/Topsail Beach where we played in the ocean, did a lot of shopping, and enjoyed plenty of good food and the best ice-cream/doughnuts/deserts with live music on an open deck at the Daily Doughnut Grind. The Surf City Pier was awesome and the food was fresh seafood and very affordable. The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital/Rescue Center offered tours, which was just one of our favorite moments. The guest book on the counter is a cute idea and I loved reading other guest's experiences and places they recommended in the area. I will definitely come again,
