Sweet and relaxing ocean getaway
This unit was quite charming and was just what was needed for our weekend getaway. The unit was clean and a very short walk to the ocean. I loved that it was dog friendly with a crate already setup and ready to use. Even though we did not get a chance to use, the outside downstairs area was awesome! Had a sectional, tv, dog kennel and outdoor shower. I would certainly stay here again.

Perfect place!
This was a great stay for a long weekend at the beach. Studio felt spacious and was stocked with everything we needed. The beach was a quick walk away. Host was helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

Unmatched hospitality
Luke’s place was perfect for a couple. We would definitely bring our dog next time we come because he has thought of everything you would need to have your pup along. He has also thought of everything for us as well. Anything we could have needed was there when we arrived including snacks and drinks. We really loved our evening under the porch listening to the waves in the screened in area. We only wish we had had more time to enjoy it!

Perfect Short Trip
Property was very cute and right across from the beach. Very quick and easy to get to store and base. Awesome little kennels for the pups and we loved hanging in the downstairs section soaking in fresh air!

About the host

Hosted by Luke Glusco

Host profile image
Jodi and Luke live in Raleigh and finally realized their dream of having a beach property in March 2023. We're hooked, and constantly looking for ways to upgrade. We hope you'll find the place awesome now and even better if you return in the future!

As of September 2023, the property is offered for rent by J&L Glusco LLC. That's just legalese, though. It's still us!

Why they chose this property

We love that our street is a bit out of the way and fairly quiet, yet the beach and sound are a very short walk away.

What makes this property unique

The dog kennel, outdoor shower and decks are among the things we really like.
