The house was just what we needed. It was spacious, large back yard for my family and our dogs. The dock was a plus, as we love to fish. Beautiful view. Beds were comfy. The neighborhood was nice and safe. We meet a view neighbors, they were friendly. We would definitely stay again. We loved the cookies left for us.
Wonderful views, comfy beds, peaceful neighborhood, easy access to town and beaches and fishing and restaurants. Easy check in and check out process. Already planning a return trip.
You can’t beat the view! It was beautiful at sunrise and sunset! It was perfect for our little family weekend getaway. We really enjoyed ourselves!
There wasn't a better location and yard for a family with kids and a dog. The house was exactly as described, an older home left down through the generations but on a gorgeous piece of property. This part of the sound side was perfect for playing in the water with a dog and young kids. They had such a blast searching for clams, oysters and anything else. There is a sand bar during the day at low tide that the boys just loved! The house was clean and provided all necessities. The owners were very quick in returning messages...and left us some yummy treats that my boys devoured the first night :) due to this house and location, we now prefer to stay here versus on emerald isle. Everything was just so close! We visited the island, Fort Macon, Beaufort and took a ferry to Shakleford Island (saw horses and got some beautiful conch shells and sand dollars). All attractions and restaurants were less than 20 minutes away with grocery stores 3 minutes away. We even took a quick trip Wilmington to visit the battleship :)
A lovely, cozy home! Our whole family loved staying in this home with stunning views of the sound. We especially enjoyed the large yard, and the many windows facing the water. We want to rent this home every summer now!
This was our second stay at the Bogue Sound house and we love it! The home had been deep cleaned since our last stay so it was even better. We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets from the dock and family time in the spacious rooms with gorgeous views.
We weren't there one hour before realizing I just couldn't subject my family members to such filth. The screened in porch had dirt on the flooring and cobwebs in the chairs. Dust was caked on furniture surfaces and return vents that had been there for in several years. I couldn't help but imagine all the dirt and filth that wasn't visible. Thankfully, I was able to get most of my payment returned.
Only recommendation is to bring a portable outdoor shower to help keep the place clean. Mybwife and I, three little boys, and two dogs all had a ton of fun. Even messed up the days and the owner was happy to help us out.
Good: view, beds, water pressure. Bad: fridge barely working, no usable closets, bath cabinet full of other people's stuff, cracked glass, torn screens, slow toilets, kitchen poorly equipped.
This property has a great sound view with a nice dock, a big grassy yard for outdoor activities, and is in close proximity to both Atlantic Beach, Morehead City and Emerald Isle. The inside of the home was dirty/dusty and cluttered, with dog hair and dead bugs under beds. Owner's clothes/shoes/etc were in closets - a turnoff for us. If you just need a place to sleep and shower, I'd recommend this property.
