10/10 Excellent
"We had a fabulous stay at the condo! It was right on the beach and we spent lots of time sitting on the back deck watching the ocean and listening to the sound of the waves, especially while enjoying our morning coffee. The kitchen was stocked with pots and pans to cook with and we used the beach chair and umbrella that was in the garage. We loved cycling to town on the bikes and the bike locks and baskets came in handy when we went shopping. The owner was extremely responsive and suggested some places to visit and eat. Beaufort was a short drive with lots of cute shops and restaurants and Swansboro was also a short drive from the condo. We loved watching the sunrises on the beach and then going to The Point for spectacular sunsets. We would definitely stay at Paige’s place again!"
