Very nice beach house!

This was one of the nicest beach rentals we have stayed in. Everything was neat and well maintained. We particularly enjoyed the beach chairs available for guest use and the trees on both sides of Ocean Glen. I highly recommend and would be happy to stay again.

Perfect family condo

Wonderful property for family. Stayed with our 2 & 3 year old kids and it was perfect. Plenty of space for everyone and a good sized kitchen for making food. Loved that they keep beach equipment there so we didn’t have to haul our own stuff.

Wet & Wild

We had a great time, the weather was interesting. We had a tornado warning in Beaufort the morning we were going to Cedar Island Ferry. and it rained most of the day, they let us reschedule for the next day, to Ocracoke. It worked out great nice weather. Nice place would recommend to all. Thanks to the Charles family.

Great family stay

Our stay was marvelous! We had everything we needed to feel at home. The location was perfect! Our host was great with communications. It was so nice to have the things we needed for our days on the beach; chairs, boogie boards and kids sand toys. I would recommend this stay to anyone who wants the convenience of beach access with great amenities like the pool. Thanks for sharing your home.

Well equipped. Close to beach!

This was our first visit to Pine Knoll Shores and the Ocean Glen complex. Unit is in a beach front complex and a short walk to the sand/water! Very clean and well equipped accommodations. We especially enjoyed that the beach is so much less crowded than places like Myrtle Beach. NC Aquarium nearby. Plenty of grocery stores, fresh seafood, and other attractions nearby as well.

Do it, book a trip at a very nice property

This was my first time staying at a place that wasn't a hotel, so there was trepidation. Took the chance to stay at this place based on the photos and other reviews. I'm glad I took the chance. The host is excellent in communication and providing a great stay. The photos are accurate and the place is tens of yards from a very clean beach. The property was very clean and lots of attention to detail. There were labels on all the switches so there was no guess work. There was beach furniture, equipment, and games available at the house. The kitchen was equipped with any dishes needed. All the guest needs to bring is personal items. If I were in the area again, then I would stay here again.

When we walked in my wife said, "This place is adorable." It was perfect for us. Even though the townhome isn't the closest one to the beach, it is easier access than many oceanfront properties. Emerald Isle is also very lovely. May start going here rather than the Outer Banks.

The place was great! Clean and comfortable, plus it was a short easy walk to both the beach and the pool. It was nice to have one entryway next to the carport where you could hang wet swim suits, store sandy beach items, etc. and have another entryway that went out to the beach/pool walkway that stayed clean and clear. Only drawback was the walls were a bit thin and you could hear others, especially when trying to sleep.

Perfect home for a beach getaway with pool access.

The owner of the house began communicating with us prior to check in. She laid out everything we needed to know to make the process as easy as possible. When we arrived the house was spotless and we could tell it had been taken great care of. The amenities provided were great.The beach is to one side of the property and the pool is to the other. Literally steps away from both the beach and pool right out of the back door. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to come back for a longer stay next summer. Even with the hurricane passing through this weekend, the weather turned out great. There are great restaurants in the area as well. Very quiet and family friendly neighborhood. We appreciate the host for her great communication and friendliness.
