This was an incredible family vacation. My review is way overdue. My family and I stayed mid-August which was the perfect time. My kids which are 8 and 11 said it was the best vacation ever! They really enjoyed digging on the beach looking for sea glass. They also came across a baby seahorse (they released him back into the ocean) and sand crab which was following them around. We did end up grocery shopping at the Food Lion, so we did not leave the house for 5 days! Since we didn’t leave, we overpacked in clothes! I didn’t realize how convenient having a washer/dryer on site was!! We did bring our dog which was the first time he traveled. I am very thankful for the opportunity to travel with our pup because it is hard to vacation with a pet. He loved the beach, and he did swim for the first time (it was a one and done time for him lol). I enjoyed watching the sun rise every morning, watching the osprey, eagles, and dolphins swim by. The beach is very private, and you do have it all to yourself. I would recommend looking into biting fly repellent. They were only a problem on the last day and seem to attack the dog the most. Whatever we brought did not work but you were safe in the water (which felt like bath water in mid-August). The house was clean and there are breathtaking views from every window in the house. We also enjoyed watching the big the ships go by from the porch. We had such a wonderful time and we made many beautiful family memories here.
