About the host
Hosted by Bethany
Our family lives in Raleigh,NC. We have 3 kids, ages 7,4,1. Lucky for you, that means we have alot of kids items at the house to make your packing easier!
We enjoy a glass of wine while the sun sets, riding bikes down the canals and a good pina colada at Daddy Macs!

Why they chose this property
This location was ideal for us with small children. We love live music and this house was perfect with live music next door and playground across the street! A perfect night for us is grilling downstairs, while live music is playing next door and our kids are riding their bikes under the covered area.
What makes this property unique
We think our property is unique because it is perfectly located on the island for families. Last minute need, you can walk to the Friendly Mart. Rainy day, you can walk to the arcade or do pottery. We have taken extra steps to make sure the kitchen is completely stocked with absolutely everything you will need!
