House is well situated to access waterway and beach. Neighborhood is very quiet this time of year. We brought the boat and fished every day and had a very relaxing time.

Guys fishing trip

A few of us stayed here for a fishing trip. The house was clean, had the essentials in the kitchen and overall delivered on expectation. The dock in the back was great, we were able to tie up my skiff overnight on the floating dock and throw for some mullet when hanging out. I would book again, great central location for a trip!

Perfect location and home

This was the perfect place for our vacation. The house was fully stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. The house was VERY clean, neat and organized! We loved having the boat lift right at the house to keep our boat there. Communication was amazing with quick responses! We will be booking again to come back to stay!

Hi Diana, I am distraught over your review. We did not connect at all while you were there so I wasn't made aware of any issues . A review like this is very damaging and indicative of a terrible experience. Did something happen we were not made aware of ? You don't actually say anything was wrong but this review says otherwise. Please reach out so I know what I need to do to correct the issues you had. We don't want things to go unaddressed for both your past experience and the future guests . I appreciate your time

Towels were “awesome”, too step of stairs needs to be repaired, only two partial rolls of toilet paper were found. Small stuff. We thoroughly enjoyed the house, accommodated 7 of us, easy access for boat (didn’t use the lift), easy to find. Would recommend with no hesitation.

Great Location

We had a good overall experience at the property. The communication with the landlord was good. The location was great at Atlantic Beach close to everything. The neighborhood was good. The only issue we had was with the dock which had decking boards that were in disrepair and rotting a couple of places you could see through to the water. We could not let the kids go on the dock do too the condition of the dock. Overall it was a good experience

Thank you for taking the time to bring this issue to us during your stay. We did have someone out immediately to repair the boards, but determined that it would be best to replace the dock. As a result, the dock is now brand new with a new lift. I apologize that you had to deal with any issues but thank you for making us aware so we could correct it quickly for future guests. Hopefully we will have the chance to host you again!

Birthday getaway/ Seafood festival

We went to Morehead city for the seafood festival and to celebrate my birthday and our son’s birthday as well we had a great time. One of the best parts of the stay there was no TV nor alarm clock in the bedroom. We had no locked plans. The best plan is no plan
