Perfect spot
Top 10 stay! Such a great location, directly across from the beach with unobstructed views from the balcony. Perfect dog friendly property with a nice enclosed space for the dogs. Plenty of room for everyone to hang out relax and enjoy the sea!We appreciate the location only about 10 mins From stores and restaurants and 30 mins from Southport! We will def be back.

Relaxing Stay
We enjoyed our time at Reel Nice. The house was clean and comfortable for the 5 of us. There was plenty of space in the living areas and beds were comfortable. We loved the front and back decks, overlooking the ocean and the beach access was so close. Kitchen is well stocked and the little extras for daily living (toiletries, kitchen supplies, etc.) were helpful. We'll definitely be back again!

Perfect Getaway
We gathered with family for Thanksgiving and the house was just perfect. The host worked with us for our arrival, which was seamless, and the house easily fit our family and dogs. The house was well stocked with everything needed and had the perfect spot to view sunrises and sunsets over the ocean. We are already talking about when we can return.
