We loved our stay at this festive Christmas-themed house! It was spotless, cozy, and decorated so beautifully to keep you in the Christmas spirit all year round. The owners thought of everything—tons of amenities, games, and great spaces to relax and enjoy. It was the perfect spot to make memories, and we’d absolutely stay again!

I cannot say enough good things here, it was tough for us to leave!!! This was an impromptu get away and our expectations were blown away by decor / theme of the house - incredible, the communication with MJ - impeccable host, the backyard pool, yard, sitting areas, fire pit - all of it fantastic and this location was great given walks I would take down to the boardwalk and back, very easy and so nice to be that close to the water, restaurants, etc. We will be returning, the level of detail MJ even puts into the cleanliness, well stocked kitchen / other needs, sound machines on night stands in case you want it, comfortable beds - we are truly grateful as the trip was to decompress, lift spirits and have a relaxing break and it checked every box there & then some. My senior / small breed pups also enjoyed the backyard and neighborhood (slow) walks : )). Thank you, MJ!!!!!

It was a perfect stay. We fell in love with the house and really enjoyed the pool and movie theater. We went to the state park very close by, the aquarium, the Kure Beach pier, and miniature golfing to name a few things. We loved the Christmas theme and the one thing that we all agreed upon is that we need to stay longer next time. Maryjo and hubby were the perfect hosts.
