Leave your car parked for the the whole vacation! Want an painless walk to the beach? Want to be steps away from a great grocery store? Want walkability to stores? Would you like to be able to walk to a restaurant and bar? This home has it all! Freshly remodeled and ready to help make lasting memories. 75 yards to direct beach access next to Publix grocery and beach stores. Walkability score 10! Shady back yard with a picnic table ideal for grilling. My wife and I bought this handsome ranch style home with the thoughts of what and where we wanted our retirement place to be. We were inspired by the towns we visited in Northern Europe, where the citizens could walk to work, shop, and play. We didn't expect to find a place that we could have all that and still be steps away from the gorgeous and uncrowded beaches that North Carolina offers, but we did. My wife and I welcome you into our home. From the centuries year old oak trees that offer shade from the summer sun in the back of our home, you can plan your next adventure while grilling out with our new gas grille. Play a game of corn hole, or just relax. Forget that special brand of coffee that would make it a ideal morning? No worries, head over to Publix and grab whatever you need. Don't worry about finding parking to get to the beach. Multiple great eateries are an simple walk as well. You might just lose that brother-in-law for a few hours when he finds that sports bar a couple blocks away.

A possible day itinerary could be as follows. Wake up in the morning and walk over to scoops ice cream and donuts and pick up a dozen made to order gourmet donuts (eat one there before you go, the fresher, the better). grab a cup of coffee and walk over to the beach to see what the surf looks like. If there's some waves you and your family might want to go body boarding (body boards supplied). around noon come on back to the home grille up some hamburgers. after lunch head back to the beach to soak up some sun or maybe go to one of the many stores close by. For supper you can either have supper there at the home or go out to eat to one of the many great eateries in the area. Don't forget to go to one of the many ice cream stores for evening dessert! My wife and I are here on the island to help you with anything that you might need.
