You're in great hands. We're a service-disabled veteran-owned and operated small business. Our property is professionally managed and cleaned after each stay. Feel free to reach out with any questions before or during your visit.

The Safari offers a unique combination of privacy and convenience. Tucked just off in the woods yet close to significant thruways, you’ll be ideally situated to explore our best beaches and Marine bases. Located between Jacksonville and Wilmington, you’re at the heart of everything.

Additional Details

This slice of heaven beats staying at a hotel and is more affordable and closer to Marine bases than staying at the beach.
