Week getaway with our dogs ♥️

Everything that is listed was true. They were also very nice and there if you have any questions while you’re on your stay. The downstairs screened in area was my favorite and how close you are to the beach! Perfect spot and getaway in my opinion. We appreciate the host and glad we chose this one! Can wait to book again soon!

Great location! Great for dogs!

We didn’t realize how close this place was to the beach and the sound. We walked to both with our dogs who loved it! The stand out was the outdoor area below the house. It was great being outside not having to worry about the dogs running away and being screened in from bugs. Outdoor shower was awesome to have too. This place has everything you need!

Best beach house so far

I stay in a lot of different places on different islands around North Carolina. This place was awesome. It has everything you need and the washer and dryer is very convenient so you don’t have to pack a lot of stuff. The downstairs is nice for game night. I brought my dog and he loved the beach. My nine-year-old had a lot of fun. The beach is close. I will return next year and book for even longer.

Great Stay

We had a wonderful stay! The property was clean and had all the amenities we needed (including a crate for the dog!). It was a super convenient walk to the ocean and a quiet neighborhood. We particularly appreciated the screened-in porch area underneath the home, which allowed us to enjoy the beautiful weather without getting eaten up by the bugs. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thanks again for the great place to stay and for allowing dogs.

In Town for wedding

My husband and I attended a wedding at the St. Regis. This place was literally right across the street and it was so convenient to just walk over to the venue and walk back after the evening was done. Also, very short walk to the beach with easy access. We found the place very clean and we had everything we needed. They had many amenities that we didn’t get to enjoy, like a grill, because our stay was short. Overall, great place to stay.

Sweet and relaxing ocean getaway

This unit was quite charming and was just what was needed for our weekend getaway. The unit was clean and a very short walk to the ocean. I loved that it was dog friendly with a crate already setup and ready to use. Even though we did not get a chance to use, the outside downstairs area was awesome! Had a sectional, tv, dog kennel and outdoor shower. I would certainly stay here again.

Unmatched hospitality

Luke’s place was perfect for a couple. We would definitely bring our dog next time we come because he has thought of everything you would need to have your pup along. He has also thought of everything for us as well. Anything we could have needed was there when we arrived including snacks and drinks. We really loved our evening under the porch listening to the waves in the screened in area. We only wish we had had more time to enjoy it!

Perfect Short Trip

Tiny and cute!

Stayed here with my 2 dogs and the place has everything you need for dogs, the kennel was great and the walk to the beach was less than 5 minutes. The only thing I would bring to someone's attention is if you have an older dog there are a lot of stairs to access the beach, my dogs loved it but were exhausted after 2 days.

Great location and cozy place

I was surprised to find a studio, not a one bedroom, but it was a cozy place with everything you need. The host was great at responding. I didn't use the downstairs at all (it was a bit chilly for that) but it would be a great place in the summer as well.

Perfect place to stay

A wonderful place to stay. It is the perfect place for couples. The walk to the beach wasn't bad at all. The neighborhood is beautiful and pretty quiet. We enjoyed the outdoor sitting area under the house. It's got bugnet run all the way around so it was pleasant sitting out there at night. I would definitely recommend this property to others!

Last "Hoorah" before back to school

My wife is a teacher and we booked this property as a last mini vacation before he started back to work. The property was perfect for the two of us and our dogs. We enjoyed the screened in outdoor space and the convenience to the beaches and the 4x4 access on the North end of the island. The property was clean and had many comforts of home included. The area is quiet and the communication with the owner was easy. We look forward to staying again.

2nd time here!

My husband and I had such a nice time that we decided to rent this property again. It’s a nice studio-esque home that is a short walk to the beach (5-10 min) with a small kitchen which was great for us to cook with. Luke is very nice and I hope we can stay here again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Luke Glusco

Jodi and Luke live in Raleigh and finally realized their dream of having a beach property in March 2023. We're hooked, and constantly looking for ways to upgrade. We hope you'll find the place awesome now and even better if you return in the future!

As of September 2023, the property is offered for rent by J&L Glusco LLC. That's just legalese, though. It's still us!
