Escape to this charming one-story beachfront retreat. What’s the point of being right on the beach without plenty of outdoor space This home offers an abundance of both covered and open-air living areas. Whether you want to dine outdoors, read a good book, take in the ocean view, or simply relax in a lounge chair, the choice is yours. A few easy steps down from the deck and you’re just moments from the water’s edge.

Inside, the home reflects the creative touch of the owner, who is an artist. The playful yet peaceful interior has an open floor plan that brings the kitchen, living, and dining spaces together in one large area. The living room features a spacious sectional that’s perfect for gathering at the end of the day to watch a movie, play games, or chat about the day’s adventures. The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals when you choose to dine in, and there’s plenty of seating at the dining table and granite breakfast bar.

The primary bedroom includes a king-sized bed, private balcony access, and a full en suite bath. You can even watch dolphins from bed. The second and third bedrooms include a king and queen bed, respectively. The fourth bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed, and the owner is adding a twin trundle for additional sleeping space. These three bedrooms share a full hall bath with a tub and shower combination. A pack 'n play is available for little ones—just bring your own sheets.

If you’re traveling with a larger group, there’s another home across the street—Rolf's Crabby Daddy—that sleeps eight more and offers a beautiful view of the lagoon. Guests at either home are welcome to use the beach and lagoon access points shared between the two properties.

Sleeping Arrangements (Main Floor):
Bedroom 1: King bed with private bath and balcony access
Bedroom 2: King bed
Bedroom 3: Queen bed
Bedroom 4: Twin-over-Full Bunk Bed (with twin trundle coming soon)
Shared Full Bath

    Location was great including beach access, listing was accurate, house was clean. Important to note: driveway and main entrance to the property is extremely dark; must bring ALL your own essentials (salt & pepper, coffee filters, etc - there is nothing); many minor inconveniences (have to hold the washing machine open with one hand one while loading).

    The place was adorable and beautiful view. However, the toilets were horrible, wasnt very clean, and one bedroom had outlets that wouldn't hold a cord

They have several cabinets/closets locked so all of our stuff was on the counter. Beds were comfy. Overall good spot and we will stay here again.

    Beds were comfortable the deck was very nice! Even in the rain the covered part of the deck gave us a beautiful place to sit with family and have fun! Just a short steps to the beach! Was absolutely amazing stay!

    We came here with family for a 60th birthday party and it was perfect. The house is rustic but clean and cozy and neat. It had everything we needed and we were extremely comfortable. The outdoor space was to die for. I highly recommend this spot. We will be back.

    House was great! Kitchen was well appointed as we had everything we needed. Wonderful deck to hang out and watch the sunset and waves roll in. Short and easy walk to beach.

The location is perfect, not too busy, close to all the attractions and stores. House is a perfect beach house, not scared to get sandy but also well kept. Bring groceries and extra toilet paper. The beach is beautiful!

    Property is great. Only complaint is the AC unit needs replacing. Older heat pump unit just couldn’t cut it on two hot days. Up to 83 during day but was cooler than outside and cooled down overnight. Even that didn’t necessarily hinder our stay. Just walk the 50 yards to the water and problem solved. Not overly crowded beach area at all.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We travel to G.S. each year for a family trip with Aunts and Uncles. The back deck being shaded was a great feature for the older adults. The close walk through the sand to the water was also a plus. We did book in July and struggled to keep the house cool. I don't know if it's an undersized unit or too much heat outside. We had too use box fans to make it through the night. Overall the family loved the house but unless the AC is addressed, we will find another location.
