Great location and beautiful space

I stayed here for a birthday getaway with my family and friends and it was just what we needed! The house is located very close to local attractions like the aquarium and Atlantic beach. There’s also the unique draw of being very near to more secluded islands where we got to explore wild horses and beaches unaltered by humans. The house was big enough for our crew of 9 with room to spare!

A Gem

Because if the physical limitations of the family members I was traveling with, the house was a perfect fit. The first floor was open with a large kitchen/dining room and most importantly to me, it had 2 large bedrooms and bathrooms. The second floor had an additional 2 bedrooms, a second living area and a large bathroom. The house was beautifully decorated, offered great amenities as well as having 2 covered porches. The proximity to the water and to Beaufort was a bonus.
