We had a very good experience overall. Compared to other 3-bedroom, first-row properties in the area, this one is among the most cost-effective. The view from the back porch is excellent, the neighborhood is family-friendly, and access to the beach is easy (via the public access route one house away). Salt and Sand Realty is responsive. You can expect to receive automated text messages from them daily, so they stay in touch. They were also responsive by phone and text when we reached out. I appreciated the credit they provided for VayKGear rental services, which we leveraged to acquire beach chairs and a small cart, which are not included in the cost of the property.Some issues: (1) The ceiling light in the living room was not working upon arrival, so seating area was dark at night. Salt and Sand Realty arranged for that to get fixed within 2 days of check-in. (2) While the property is advertised for 9 visitors, only 6 chairs are provided for dining. We asked if we could have a couple of foldable chairs, but the owners of the property declined the request. There are no bar stools either, so a large group may need to either take shifts during a meal, or sit in different spots. (3) The top bunks were not made, despite us indicating that we were a full part of 9. (5) the automated key pad didn't work a couple of times, so we needed help getting in. (6) Not enough glasses in the kitchen, which were topped up 2 days in.

We brought a family of 5 to stay for a week. Loved the house - very clean and as described. Good cold a/c. My only complaint was that the bathrooms were pretty small for my family - but my kids are 6’5”. Easy access to beach. Little more crowded near our spot though because of the public beach access one house away. Great daily communication check in from the host!

Great location and perfect house! We would definitely stay here again!

We so enjoyed the vintage cottage vibes. It was a birthday girls Labor Day weekend. The town was so cozy. My only complaint is NC doesn’t have enough Spanish moss for my beach getaways.
