This is a stellar home ! It is beautifully maintained and equipped with almost every amenity imaginable. We are ‘veterans’ of many VRBOs and this is the top of the list! Cheryl is a superb host— quickly responsive to all questions and concerns. We loved our experience !

Hurricane Debbie sauntered through NC on our visit. Luckily for my family, we were staying at Cheryl and Richard's beach home. And it is a home. The Taft's built the home for their family and the love and care show. The floor plan is well thought out. The large living room area, with it's vaulted ceiling was great for watching the Olympics, or playing board games (the Tafts have provided many games and jigsaw puzzles). The kitchen is well stocked and has great site lines to the ocean. The private spaces are generously proportioned and provide a cozy space to get away for quite time. Large windows throughout keep the house connected to the outdoors. Outside, the house is snugged into the dunes and well maintained myrtle. It makes for a lovely, private experience. We did get to enjoy the beach between storms, but it was good to know that the covered back deck was only a moment away when the storm clouds returned! For a week at the beach during the remnants of a hurricane, we couldn't have asked for a better retreat! We look forward to returning to enjoy all the outdoor amenities that we missed out on this trip.

We had an amazing week at Cheryl’s beach house. First, the pictures don’t do it justice. This place is very way bigger than I thought. All 12 of us (3 different families) had plenty of room to spread out and have privacy. Even the bunk room had enough extra space on the floor so the kids could play board games. The property is beautiful, the trees and driveway look like they are out of a fairytale. There is plenty of outside space, the middle deck wraps around the house. The kitchen was very well stocked, including lots of plates and silverware. And the ice machine! I’m hooked now, I never knew I needed one! The water is filtered but still tasted a little “beachy” to me, but not a deal breaker. The beds are firm with real cotton linens. The en suite bathrooms are a big plus and we never ran out of hot water. And the beach!! Beautiful sand and water, not crowded at all. We even found 3 shark teeth during our stay. The house comes with fancy beach chairs and beach towels. It saved us so much room packing. There is an outside open shower with a rinse off hose near the beach. And a hose on the deck which was helpful in keeping sand out of the house. I could go on and on about all the extras that aren’t even listed: toys, board games, body boards, books, decor, houseplants, bikes, even kids scooters! The community pool was also a big hit with our group. Needless to say, we hope that we can return next year. Thank you so much Cheryl!!

One of the best places I have stayed. This beachfront home had anything we could have needed and had things we wouldnt have thought about needing. We enjoyed the beach, the deck, hammock, biking around the area, sunrises and so much more. You can feel the love and care in this home
