The most quiet and convenient stay on the beach!
"This property and property manager were perfect! The location has private access to the beach (top priority for me!) and is walkable to many restaurants and small shops. Genevieve was always accessible and ready to answer any questions. Great host! I will definitely be booking here again!"

Beach was gorgeous - nice white sand, clean, well kept. We ended up coming to this beach because Wrightsville beach had restrictions. We are SO THANKFUL we made the switch!
