Ron was an amazing host. He went out of his way to make our room perfect, I cant think of anything that could have been better. Our spontaneous beach weekend was made comfortable with Ron's amazing customer service and attention to detail. Rates were very reasonable, less than a corporate room and I am very satisfied supporting a local who truly appreciated our business. I felt safe, our sheets and towels were BEYOND clean. I cannot wait to return.
WoW ! 2 THUMBS UP & 5 STARS FOR THE SAND & SURF ! Small, Quiet & Comfortable ! Our hosts were MOST ACCOMMODATING & HOSPITABLE With Their Carolina Island Style & Atlantic Beach Charm !! The S&S is less than a football field away from the "Tom Doe" Atlantic Beach NC, Beach Access with bath house & boardwalk to the widest white sand beach (at high tide) i know of in NC or Anywhere East Coast USA * ATTENTION 1, 2 & 4-String Kite Flyers > This IS Exactly where you NEED to BE - lots of room to lay out lines & fly without flogging a tourist or crashing someone's cabana +/- 3 miles to Ft Macon +/- 3 miles to the Atlantic Beach Causeway +/- right smack dab in the middle of heaven on earth (We ARE Already Looking Forward To Our Next Visit)

Friendly ! Kind ! And treats for the kiddos! The girls got freeze pops! Clean beds! Clean all around! Quiet!!!! Very quiet and lovely and we will be back! Much recommend
This was my first time there but I will be back. The owners are very personable and make you feel like family. They do ask you to take care of the rooms as if it was your house which I don’t mind as it keeps their place looking good. So far I have absolutely no complaints and will be back next year. Really enjoyed our stay and I can’t say enough about how nice the owners are.
