Great upper & lower decks, very close to ocean
Classic beach house! Simply but comfortably furnished, with mattresses varying from firm to extra soft (something for everybody). Lots of TVs that we didn't use but also cards & games that we did. Good internetThe kitchen had what we needed, plenty of dishes & flatware, decent assortment of pots and pans. As with most places, it might be useful to bring your own nonstick skillet and a sharp knife. Appreciated that there was a regular coffee maker in addition to the Keurig. Nice to have an ice maker in the fridge, to! Loved the 2 ocean view upstairs bedrooms with doors out to the upper deck, appreciated that the decks connected with an outside stairway. Adirondack chairs on upper and lower decks are wonderful, but I spent even more time sitting in one of the tall chairs on the upper deck. Currently, the primary dune is high enough to barely block the view of the sand (but not the water) from the first level, so the best views are from the upper deck. Loved being so close to the ocean, closer than any place we've stayed! The boardwalk was really short, ending just before the small primary dune, which might be a challenge if you have a bad knee (I just had mine replaced & was fine). Surf fishing was meh, but that's been par for the course lately for us, even in spring. Captain Willis supplied us with excellent shrimp, and we also went to Swansboro one night for outstanding BBQ, fried oysters, and hush puppies at the Bogue House. We'd stay here again & again!
