The home is on stilts and you will enter the home on the second floor where the main living space is. You will pass through the first of four decks that has some seating and a gate to keep kids and pets in!
Entertainment and family was the focus when setting this up! You have an open floorplan with plenty of seating and dining options. The kitchen has all you will need and a large peninsula with bar seating. The dining table can fit everyone for a meal or set up for a game night! Right past the half bath, this all opens up to the living area that has a huge sectional couch, SmartTV, and chair so everyone has space to kick back and relax after a long day on the beach!
Through the living room you will find an oversized back deck that is great year round! It has a dining and seating area and great views out back to a natural area before the intracoastal. It is spacious and partial covered so you can enjoy it with the entire crew!
As you make your way upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms, all with their own SmartTVs. Also on this floor you have two more decks! One that has some cool hammock chairs and the other with the BEST view -overlooking the natural area to the intracoastal! The pimary suite has a King bed and ensuite with a large walk-in shower. One of the other bedrooms host a Queen bed, while the other has a bunk with a Full and Twin. These secondary bedrooms share another full bath on that hall.
On the ground floor the experience continues...you can walk 2mins over to the beach or just enjoy the home! We have a grill, picnic table, patio, outdoor shower, lawn games, and more!! You can set up and enjoy a meal down there or just hang out while the family or pets run around.

My parents and I really enjoyed this house. It was a quick walk to the beach and very clean and cozy. Ruby (my pup) enjoyed the large living space, plenty of room for play when the weather was a bit nippy. She also loved her views from the many decks!

Thank you so much- so glad that you guys enjoyed and we appreciate the review and stay!! Welcome back anytime!
Overall our stay was good. Before the next guest arrive you may want to consider spraying for cockroaches, they were very big and great in number. The house was surface clean but may be in need of a deeper cleaning. The location is terrific and our 83 year old parents loved the views on all the decks. Thanks

Me and my best friend Eric grew up in Wilmington, NC! A few years back we bought some long term rentals as an investment, but then realized that our passion was in the vacation/short term rental world. We love to travel and being able to provide people with an experience that we would want to have is what this is all about. This is about having a place to come and unwind and create memories while being the comfort of a home. Please come be our guest and don't hesitate to connect with us if your experience isn't 5 STARS!
Why they chose this property
Location is amazing! Its a laid back coastal vibe with views and sand mintues away! Close to so many things to do, but the house you never had to leave once you settle in...great for families and big groups!
What makes this property unique
The views out the back of the house are amazing. You get to enjoy the peaceful intracoastal sound and be steps away from the sand on the other side!
