Eveything that we wanted and more
The home was very clean and well stocked. We loved the screened porch and proximity to the beach...only steps away. We could hear the waves and see the beautiful dunes and sunrise. My bucket list dream was to see the horses and we had horses in the yard everyday...including a baby. The house itself is very clean, beautifully laid out and had everything we ever needed. John was a great host and responsive to my questions which were few because it was such a simple booking and stay. HIGHLY recommend.

Beautiful Property
I recently stayed at a stunning property that truly exceeded my expectations. The house was beautifully decorated and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The serene surroundings added to the charm, making it the perfect getaway. This property provided an unforgettable experience. The combination of a beautiful home, excellent amenities, and the wonderful presence of the horses made our stay truly special. Highly recommended! P.s a the horses decided to take a nap to the entrance to the downstairs and in front of the grill. Had to chance them off to cook hamburgers.

Great Family Getaway
Clean, comfortable accommodations in a beautiful location. We had a great time with our 4 kids relaxing, exploring, and enjoying the beautiful surroundings including horses that visited the yard! The house was well stocked with everything you could need. I was particularly impressed with the kitchen. We cooked most nights and had every tool I could wish for. The hosts were thoughtful and helpful. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Lovely get away
Comfortable and clean home with a well-appointed kitchen, and plenty of towels. But the location was the best amenity. I would stay here again. No questtion. A very short walk to the beach and less than a mile to False Cape State Park. The owner/host proactively contacted me to advise me of high & low tides. It’s much easier to access the house at low tide.

Perfect quaint cabin style that felt like home to me
Excellent location and access to the beach, horses almost every day in the yard. John was wonderful in communicating with me to navigate to his location since my nav system on my iphone would have landed me in the ocean! The dogs LOVED being on the porch looking at the horses, easy on and off to the beach. Just a nice homey feel to this "treasure" cabin. Argh!

Family Vacation
Great location for nice relaxing stay! House was very clean and comfortable. Good outside spots too! We used the screened porch the most to catch the breeze. We saw horses everyday and dolphins in the ocean in the morning and evenings - it was a great treat! One thing I would do for next time would be to make sure to have food for the first night and next morning before arriving to the house after a long day of travel to avoid having to go out on the beach road again the first night we got there. Hope we can visit again soon!

Special place
We loved our stay here. The house is perfect for family with nice bedrooms, baths, well stocked kitchen, and lower level game room. Perfect location to the beach. On our first day, we had to wait to get in because one of the wild horses was having a bite to eat in the yard! We all agreed it was a great traditional beach house and the owners take great care in making it nice and comfortable. The drive in is no joke but great fun once you get used to it.

Very Nice escape
Although the weather was not the best, we still enjoyed our vacation, enjoyed walks along the beach. For my wife, the best part is when had visits from the horses, that was the selling point of the house her. The house is cleaned and maintained. The proximity to the ocean was very nice, even my dog liked that. I would recommend the property

Teaches Retreat
The home owner was very friendly and helpful. We had to book and rebook this trip several times because of a hurricane and then personal reasons. We finally made it there last week. The property is almost to the Virginia border. You drive 9 miles up the beach to get to the property. The area is very beautiful. Its secluded. Not many people at all. Its a 30+ minute drive to the town if you want to eat out or grocery shop. We saw the wild horses everyday just about. They came right up to the property. The property itself is nice. Its older. Its quaint. There is a very nice fire pit area for a bonfire. There are a couple of different porch options to sit on. One screened in with a table and barstools and a couch and chair. The living room has a small sofa and a recliner and two rocking chairs. The kitchen is well equipped. There are 3 bedrooms. My daughter loved the room with the bunk beds (4). There was a master suite and another bedroom with a bathroom across the hall from it. The property does have a washer and dryer. All that being said, the property could use a little updating to spruce it up. Also, the porch areas need to be looked at. The porch off the kitchen had nails sticking up out of the flooring. The screened in porch ceiling was dingy. There is another suite at the bottom of the house that we found. That room is very nice too with a bed, bathroom and small living area with a poker table. All in all it is a charming house in a beautiful location. Just needs TLC.

So adventurous!
We had a great time! It took 30min using 4x4 on the beach to get here-it was so adventurous! We saw a lot of cars stuck that used AWD, so 4x4 is necessary. Because it was so adventurous to get here, it cut the crowds down,, we had the entire beach to ourselves for most days. We saw horses and the seashells were amazing. The house had everything we needed- even the things we forgot. The kids enjoyed playing ‘pirates’ and all the games. They also enjoyed having a TV in their bedroom. There was plenty of space; it was really perfect for what we needed. We hope to be back next year!

Perfect spot to see wild horses!
This house was clean, cozy and just the right size for our family trip. We wanted a private, non-crowded getaway and that is exactly what we got! We enjoyed the beach drive to get there, being so close to the beach and came just to see wild horses. We were able to see them every day of our stay and they were in the yard for quite a bit one afternoon! We had everything we needed
