We loved the house. It was perfect size for our family of four and our dog loved the fenced in back yard. Our girls loved the bunk beds and the provided games and toys. We have intentions of staying here again in the future.

A Long Weekend

It was a very cute home, nicely decorated and match the zone theme. Home was very clean and presentation exceeded expectations. Accommodations were very comfortable, clean, and warming. The beach front and the entire town and Southport was new to us and was a very enjoyable time exploring. A few details can be noted but mainly the BBQ, the grate is bent, overheated, rusted, and couldn’t be used. The seasoning in the home accommodations need to be checked and replaced as some are expired. We bring our own just a FYI. Last, we were told we’d have access to the beach accessories but the door was locked. We had to shorten our stay due to the low pressure rolling in and check out was Sunday anyways but we will keep an eye out for this cozy home for another stay. Highly recommend the home.
