High Tide - Great View

This is the 2nd year we stayed at High Tides. While it is a hop, skip and jump from beach with nice size rooms, decent kitchen and plenty of parking, the house is starting to look old inside. There are various rooms with peeling paint or furniture. The bathroom attached to the master is way over due for an upgrade.
The porch could use some work but it’s a beautiful spot to sit and listen to the ocean first thing in the morning or just before bed at night.
The layout is very nice and the garage fits 2 cars. The outdoor shower was an great extra!!

Good location to the beach and pier. One of the upper bunk mattresses is is bad shape, very stained and needs to be replaced. Bunk mattresses could use covers to prevent stains. Mattress pad on queen bed is in really bad condition.

Intercoastal Realty did a fabulous job and they were extremely attentive with some maintenance issues. Location of the home really can’t be beat. The home was clean when we arrived but the owners have some projects to do in order to get this unit in great condition. This is a good no frills rental in a great location close to a lovely beach.

We have have the pleasure of staying in the Low Tide house ( just below) on several occasions. This unit (High Tide) was a bit different. Great view to the water for sure. Inside was relatively clean but needs a bit of work. Many chairs on the porch not usable. Nothing much more substantial.. just needs a little TLC. Nice big bedrooms and great bunks for the kids. The widows walk is always fabulous for morning coffee and beautiful sunsets.

This is a beautiful house, steps away from the beach access. The view from our upper unit porch and the widow's walk was lovely. The main bathroom needs a little TLC; the water pressure is very low in the shower, and the showerhead needs replacing. I would suggest a hand-held showerhead; the current one does not adjust at all (a problem for the taller family members). Also, the addition of a grab-bar and anti-slip treatment in the tub would add security. The kitchen was well equipped (the Kuerig was a surprise, we brought our own!). The water dispenser on the fridge doesn't function, but the icemaker does. We did purchase a dish drain for those small loads and baby bottle/feeding equipment (We left that there for future renters). The refrigerator door swings open quickly and bumps the drawer handle, that could use adjustment or bumper. Since our adult son didn't wish to share the bunkbed room with a toddler, he slept on the pullout couch in the living room...he didn't sleep much, as it was quite uncomfortable. The rest of the week, he slept on the closed couch, which was a bit better. Thankful for a porch full of rockers, although one needs a repair of an arm. The parking access was very good, we could accommodate our cars and a guest vehicle. Loved the outdoor showers and also appreciated the hose for rinsing kids and equipment! Given the Coronavirus situation, we didn't do our ususal activities (aquarium, Southport Ferry, Cotton Exchange, etc) but we did some outdoor dining at Poe's Tavern, Mellow Mushroom and Slainte. Did pickup from Sweet and Savory, Kohl's, Trolly Stop, Salt Works and Boombalotti's. More information for renters new to WB regarding the recycling system would help, I think. We were grateful to get the house code a little earlier than 4:00 since the car with the 1 year old and 4 year old arrived a bit before schedule and needed to get out of their carseats! Overall, we had a great time staying in this house and would consider it again.

A very good vacation. Considering staying there again.

Thank you for opening up your home. What we needed was there within an hour of the reality opening up. 2 minute walk to beach and 5 minute walk to pier

We loved the house , location and view. It was very clean. Had a great deck area with fans overhead which is nice in the summer.
The only recommendation would be to have some extra stock of toilet paper and paper towels. Overall it was a great experience.

Overall another great week in NC. We had difficulty getting in initially due to the code box not working. Ian brought us a master key so we did finally get in before midnight. Two of the TV’s were not hooked up to the cable and the fan in the Queen size bed room does not work. Kitchen had great appliances and dishes. Just needs some TLC

High Tide was a great choice for us. It is close to the beach so very easy to come and go. We had a nice view from the deck and upper crows nest and it was reasonably priced.

Our extended family spent a great week here. This house allowed us to have everyone in one location and what a great location it was.
The house allowed 4 couples, 2 singles and 7 kids to spend the perfect beach vacation all together. We never felt crowded and always had everything and then some in this house. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything for cooking. The house came with an excellent amount of linens and the outside showers with hot water came in handy when the kids came up from the beach.
Garage was broken the first day but the superintendent came and gave us access and put in a ticket to have it fixed. The garage gave us plenty of room to park our four vehicles.
The only negatives that we have is that the beds gave everyone backaches, water pressure was very weak (even when only 1 shower was running) and furniture is a little dated.
The location of the property is a walk from some locations but not anything that couldn't be completed within 15-20 mins. If you have smaller kids bring strollers as it might be too far for them. The pier is within walking distance no problem for children.

We LOVED the house! It was perfect for our group of girls! Walking distance to everything! In great condition and plenty of room for everyone!

You couldn't ask for a better location. 4 blocks from the pier, yet on a quiet street...2 homes from the beach...just perfect. We walked or rode bikes everywhere. Unit had everything we needed and we appreciated the garage being stocked with boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrellas! Beds were comfy, kitchen had all the essentials, AC was cold and neighbors were quiet. We even reserved it for next year!

We loved High Tide as the location and views were spectacular. It's close enough to get to the beach in a moments notice. The place is a bit in need of a furniture update but still really nice. The only negative we had was the master bed was too soft for a bad back.

Highly recommend this place. We had a family of 9 stay here for my daughter graduation. Loved the decor, beds were very comfortable- even the bunk beds. Well stocked kitchen. Every thing you could possibly need. Loved having the upper deck beautiful views right on an access road to the beach. Had an amazing time.

Very cute cottage! Neatly decorated, kitchen was well stocked with dishes/pots/pans/utensils, had breakfast on top of the duplex which was really neat, very short walk to the beach, garage could fit two cars and had plenty of space in the driveway. Really enjoyed our stay. My only critique - there were a few dead cockroaches in the cottage. Clearly they treated the place for bugs, but still not nice to see. Would probably stay here again despite this.
