Cozy oceanfront beach house, only a few minutes from downtown & pet friendly

Nestled snugly along the pristine North Carolina coastline, our family beach house stands as a timeless sentinel to generations of joy and laughter. Built by our grandfather in the carefree era of the 1970s, it has been a steadfast sanctuary where the soothing rhythm of the waves and the salty tang of the sea breeze weave together a tapestry of cherished memories.

Perched majestically on the oceanfront, the house boasts weathered wooden beams and windows that frame breathtaking views of the endless horizon. Its timeless facade whispers stories of countless summers spent under the sun, and winters huddled by the crackling fireplace, cocooned in warmth and togetherness.

Inside, the walls echo with the laughter of children playing, the clinking of glasses raised in celebration, and the melodies of shared songs around the kitchen table. Each corner holds a treasure trove of memories: the cozy nook where ghost stories were spun, the kitchen where generations put together the perfect low country boil, and the deck where lazy afternoons melted into starlit evenings.

But beyond its simple beauty, our family beach house is a testament to the enduring bonds of kinship and the timeless magic of shared experiences. It's where we've celebrated birthdays, weddings, and graduations. It's where we've sought solace in times of sorrow and found strength in moments of triumph. It's where we've grown together, forging bonds that withstand the test of time.

Please note this is a pet friendly property. We also do not provide linens but we can provide you with the link and information to a great rental linen company that delivers. We do provide internet and modern amenities but this is an older cottage that was updated in the early 2000's. She is clean and maintained and boast a beautiful view of the ocean.

Summer stay
Great home, only down side was that it was pet friendly and the rug on porch and down stairs smelled like pet urine. We appreciate pet friendly, It just might be a good idea to remove rugs and so pets are not tempted. Overall, great home and wonderful host! We would definitely stay again!

Nice and cozy
We absolutely loved this beach house. Perfect location right on the sand. It felt like being at home. We had the best weather. I would definitely enjoy staying here again. Has plenty of room and so convenient being right in the sand not having to haul things back and forth to the beach and can easily take sun breaks for a lunch on the deck. Thank you for being so welcoming to your charming home on the beach.

Beach front is awesome!
Our family stayed here in June 2024, the house is clean and has plenty of space. Views from the back deck are incredible and being right on the beach is the number one reason to rent this house. Fully stocked kitchen, air conditioner gets icy cold, plenty of room for two adults, three teenagers and a dog. Communication with the owner was great, they were very attentive and welcoming. The only reason we don’t give it five stars is because the house is definitely showing its age, some doors stick, the paneling needs paint in places, and the back deck needs new decking. That said, it’s easy to forgive everything because of the location and the view, we would absolutely stay here again!
