In May 2023, our design team began a new trend of decorating our villas with themes. The first one they completed pays homage to Santorini, Greece, a favorite destination of our Owner & Co-Founder Summer.

Locals will tell you that Fall is the very best time to enjoy NC beaches. With highs in the upper 70's and lows in the high 50's, September and October is prime time at the shore. Our oceanfront cottage, Summer Lovin, still has availability for this upcoming fall, but it’s filling up quickly. Featuring 2 bedrooms, a hot tub, off-street parking, and private beach access, it’s the perfect spot for a small family or romantic getaway.
