Great Place
The property was as described, clean, and well provisioned. The view from the porch is spectacular. I took a group of employees down for a fishing trip and this was the perfect base for a great week of fishing. We had a blast and plan to go back next year.

This home was just what we needed to come back to after a long day of duck hunting in Cedar Island. It was clean, the beds were very comfortable and it has plenty of room. The property manager was excellent to work with as well. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to stay in the Cedar Island area.

Men’s fishing trip
Men’s fishing trip. This was a great spot to hang out with a group of guys for a flounder fishing trip. Great views from the back porch, convenient to several boat launches. Everything we needed for half a dozen guys to fellowship, fish, and just generally hang out and have a good time. Definitely would stay here again. We stayed last year in a similar house from the same folks,, it was great also.

Great get away
This is the 3rd time we've been here and loved every stay. The back porch overlooking the marsh and sound is the best. We love watching the birds and wildlife from the porch and eating meals there. There's usually a breeze that keeps the insects at bay. The nearness of the boat ramp at Salter Creek is another bonus and the beach at Cedar Island is a wonderful place to go and not be surrounded by other folks. It's a good place to go to relax.

Weekend Getaway
We wanted someplace to go where we could rest and relax. This was perfect. We brought all our food because we didn't want to go out at all. The kitchen could use a few more items like baking dishes, tops that fit the pots, etc. Towel racks in the bathrooms would be a great addition as well. There were a few dust bunnies around, but overall it was very clean. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Week
The house was spacious and clean. We walked in and were so happy with the open concept and good size rooms. The dock is just off the back yard where we had fun catching blue claws, several of which were keepers and good eating. Plenty of baitfish to catch just no luck fishing off the dock. The location was terrific, we were looking for a quiet location but close enough to our adventures. Beaufort and Cedar Island Resort are a quick ride from this home. Parking under the house and covered deck upstairs was ideal for some rain we had.

Great location, very relaxing
Great location, cute home to rent, spacious. On the online listing, I wish I would have known the pull out couch was in the loft for proper sleeping arrangements to be planned out. The home needed a deep clean as there was candy papers, dust and dirt under the beds and couches. Overall, great experience and nearly a full kitchen of dishes and cooking supplies. Due to location, I recommend to bring your own groceries or get them on your way in as there isn’t anything local within 25 mins

Nice place
Overall it was a nice property . Only concern we had was the amount of bird poop in the lower parking space. This could be a very big problem for someone with kids who would likely be down there running around when outside. They really need to address this problem.

Amazing property and host
First time getting a place like this. Normally I get hotels because I was afraid of the hassle and scammers. There was zero hassle very simple booking and checking in. When I needed anything the property manager replied immediately or called. Great location we were able to visit shackleford cape lookout and Emerald Isle from this location. Clean beautiful exactly as pictured. Everything was provided even things I wouldn’t even thought to bring. I decided to extend our stay and the host made it very easy to do so. We had 7 people 4 adults three kids there was plenty of space for everyone. We’re already planning another trip and will definitely be using this hosts properties for our next trip. Worth every single penny
