Nice charming property located off the main road to the beach. Convenient location and the backyard is wonderful for getting together with friends. The outdoor showers were great! The beds are comfortable and pillows are soft.

Awesome place, convenient to everything

We had a great stay, very private. Updated appliances. Fenced in outdoor area was GREAT, with corn hole boards, fish cleaning station, outdoor TV and an awesome sound bar we jammed with while grilling and chilling around the fire pit. Communication with Jennifer was on point. Answer all our questions almost instantly, even reset the the wifi and all remotely to fix our connection issues. If you want privacy THIS is the pla

It was OK

The house was clean and check in was flawless. I was disappointed with the location - felt the map did not match the physical. Need better communication in listing that the bunk beds are in an actual shed… Was very turned off with the series of notes posted around the property telling us what we can / cannot do.

Nathan, I am so sorry to hear that you were disappointed in your stay. We do strive to make sure our guests enjoy their stay and hope they enjoy our home as much we are do. This property typically gets excellent reviews across multiple platforms. Upon receipt of your review I went back and double-checked and the description of the property does mention a "detached" bunkhouse and all photos are shown. There is a checklist on the refrigerator for check in/check out instructions which is typical of many short term rentals as they provide property info and instructions. We do appreciate your feedback as it is valuable as we work to make improvements for future guests.

Forest meets the beach

Tucked away in the shade of the trees this place was just as advertised. 2.8 mile drive to beach ( we recommend driving to Alabama Street parking not downtown parking). Easy drive over the Bridge to beach House was very clean, well maintained, cute deco!! and host was extremely responsive. Loved the well made and clean outdoor shower options ( 2 outside showers with hot water) and bedrooms inside were huge! Loved sitting out back around the fire pit at night ... Watching the game on the outdoor TV. ( Bring bug stray bc NC has mosquitos in summer and early fall) We slept in the bunk house and it was clean and AC out there worked great. (We kept bunk house portch light OFF to keep bugs from being attracted to the doorway) Enjoyed our stay. If u have a boat I can see this place would be amazing .. plenty of boat parki.g in driveway.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Lavrack

Host profile image
We enjoy going to the beach for the day or island hopping by boat but also like to come in in the evenings and shower and relax away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds on the beach.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy going to the beach for the day or island hopping by boat but also like to come in in the evenings and shower and relax away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds on the beach.

What makes this property unique

This property offers a convenient location in close proximity to the ocean and nearby boat ramps and has room to park larger vehicles and maneuver boat trailers. While it is located off of the main road and you may hear some road noise it is also tucked in a little and provides a large yard for kids to play and space to relax and have some privacy. It is not walkable to the beach nor on the island but is one mile from the CB bridge.
