When you arrive to this home your first instinct will be to run up the inviting ramp to see the ocean and beach just steps away and breathe deeply that fresh salt air, but as you turn around many surprises await you. The first is the shimmering inviting pool, complete with lots of seating and pool toys. Then you will notice the 4 different deck areas on which to relax and enjoy the amazing views

Inside you’ll be greeted by a large comfortable living area with a smart tv, an assortment of beach reads and lots of games. There’s seating for 6 at the dining table and an additional 4 bar stools at the kitchen counter. The modern kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare your favorite meals The conversation easily flows from the kitchen to the living area. If you’re a grind your own beans coffee drinker, there’s a grinder and a pot to brew them in. Nothing like the smell of freshly ground beans brewing to wake everyone up! The kitchen is amply stocked to enjoy every meal from breakfasts to midnight snacks.

Perhaps you’d like to have your meal on the covered porch, or just have morning coffee or afternoon glass of wine while you discuss the next day’s plans in the various porch chairs overlooking the ocean. You have a fantastic view of both the pool and beach activities not to mention the spectacular sunrises and sunsets.

On the main level are two bedrooms that share a bath with a combination tub & shower. One bedroom has the perfect setup for kids with 2 sets of bunk beds. The first is a pair of twin beds (roll-off prevention railing on top), and the other is a double bed down below and an upper twin. Lots of late-night conversations and stories await in this room!

The second bedroom on the main level is beautifully decorated with a queen-sized bed and a smart-tv.

Upstairs beckons a delightful surprise. Both bedrooms have their own private balconies overlooking the Atlantic. What a perfect spot to watch the sunrise or sunset. You might even slip away from the activities downstairs for a quiet spot to read. Watch for ships headed for the Port in Wilmington. One bedroom has a king size bed and the other has a Queen and both bedrooms have smart TVs and share a full bath with tub and shower.

All the bedrooms have nice-sized closets for unpacking your suitcases. On the bottom level, find a full-sized washer & dryer to keep the towels & bathing suits ready for the next day’s fun. Also in the utility room, you will find a myriad of pool & beach toys, folding beach chairs and even a cart to carry it all to that perfect spot to play at the water’s edge. Rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower equipped with hot & cold water.

If you brought your pole and caught your dinner, add some flavor to your catch using the provided charcoal grill.

This is the cottage to Sea & Believe all the fun that awaits you!

Reviews

Ideal vacation
5/5 stars
We came and found out that everything you could need at the beach was available on site. Sand toys, beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, pool noodles, etc . Everything was labeled so not only could you find items but you could return it to its place. Felt like the beach was private as public access wasn’t nearby. Found restaurants nearby and the seafood market had excellent prices! Having a pool came in very handy for our 5 year grandson as he alternated between the beach and pool.
- Philip

Thank you for your review Philip! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and your family. We are glad to hear your grandson enjoyed the pool and the direct access to the beach. We hope to host you again in the future!

Great Beach Retreat!
5/5 stars
Upon entering See & Believe, we immediately experienced a sense of peace and relaxation. The vibe here is awesome. A well-cared for home, ocean-front, with every amenity you could ask for. We enjoyed amazing sights -- a whale, dolphins, pelicans galore. Lovely walks on the beach, enjoying sitting on the sand with beach reads in hand, and sitting on the lower or upper deck, watching the waves, with a cocktail in hand! The pool is a nice plus for those windy days -- as it is nicely protected. A memorable time indeed! The staff at iTrip were super helpful for the couple of questions we had. And the owners of this home clearly care about providing a 5-star experience!

Great House and Location = Fantastic Family Week
5/5 stars
We arrived March 8 to Sea and Believe and stayed to March 15. The House was clean and welcoming. We have a family of 5 and the house has two distinct sleeping areas. 2 bedrooms and a full bath upstairs and 2 bedrooms and a full bath downstairs. My wife and I were upstairs and so was the dog in the other bedroom. Our kids used the downstairs beds and bathroom. With two distinct and separated sleeping areas the house could accommodate to families like ours. Kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed to cook a lot of our meals at the house enjoying the awesome Ocean View. Laundry Room in lower storage area was also key! Deck and pool area were a hit, but the beach was the family favorite. We knew it was a beachfront property, but we were surprised how close the ocean actually was. Weather was in the 60's and 70's and other than one day when it rained, we went to the beach everyday and swam in the ocean. Kids also boogie boarded, jumped in waves and built sand castles. Also, we searched for sea shells as we walked the beaches of oak island. The pool was also nice, as the water was warmer than the ocean. House was equipped with lots of beach toys, games, shovels, boogie boards, and pool toys. We did take two day trips. One to the the Aquarium at Fort Fisher (we took the Ferry for $7 and kids loved it). We also visited the Battleship North Carolina museum. Our favorite resturants were OKI Scoop and Donuts for fresh, made to order donuts, Pepperoni Grill for Pizza, Fishy Fishy Cafe for Seafood, and Shagger Jacks for Burgers. We watched movies and played games together at night. We had an incredible week and made a lot of great memories. We had no issues whatsoever with the house or management company. Everything worked and we had to ask for nothing. It was a great experience.

4/5 stars
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Perfect location and quiet end of the island. The pool was absolutely wonderful. Only two criticisms—the floor was not very clean throughout and the coffeemaker was a problem. I should have reported the coffeemaker right away—my bad. The management is very responsive.

Great home and location!!
5/5 stars
We absolutely loved our stay at Sea and Believe. We had five adults (aged 38-65) and one kid (age four). The beach front location was perfect and we went to the beach every day. The beach was also not crowded and we always had the perfect view of the ocean. Additionally we walked to Longrider (about a .3 mile walk / a five minute walk) restaurant several times for snacks and drinks. The pool was a great option and my son learned to jump in the pool here! The outdoor shower was so convenient! We loved how stocked the house was with beach and pool gear. There were tons of chairs (well over the six we needed), three umbrellas, tons of pool noodles and floats, and sand toys. The property manager was amazing. On our first day I called to see if someone could come snake the upstairs shower drain so it would drain faster and they came over very quickly and immediately resolved the issue. We had no other concerns on the trip. The kitchen was filled with spices and all the gear we needed to cook. We also used the charcoal grill one night to grill hamburgers. I cannot recommend this house enough! We will definitely be coming back!!

Great views
3/5 stars
We enjoyed our stay at Sea and Believe and it is no question the views and outdoor amenities were unbeatable! The only big “complaint” we have is cleanliness of the home - the bathtubs were not very inviting with dirty floors and under the TV stand and couches and cushions were pretty filthy from previous renters. The kitchen and all items like glass wear and such also could use a good cleaning between renters. The description wasn’t detailed enough for us to realize that beach towels and kitchen towels were not included, so we had to use bath towels and purchase detergent. There is also only one paper towel and one toilet paper per bathroom so be sure to include both of those in your grocery haul!
- Antonia

Thank you for your feedback! We will definitely fix these issues ASAP. It was a pleasure to host you!

Awesome ocean view
5/5 stars
We really enjoyed the amazing ocean views from the multiple decks at the home of Sea and Believe. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals and the large kitchen table seated the six of us perfectly. The beds were comfortable and we especially liked that all the bedrooms had closet and drawer space so we could empty our suitcases. It’s a beautifully decorated home at a beautiful, seaside location! Mike and Charlotte

Beach trip
4/5 stars
We had a nice trip. Unfortunately we found a few cockroaches in the house. Which we're from the south, we get it. However it was a few too many during our short stay. A good spraying is in order. The pool was out of order. The pump I guess had gone bad. Again we get it things break. A heads up would have been nice. The pool was the deciding factor in choosing the house, and due to high waves and winds we really could have used it. When I emailed them about it we heard nothing. The kitchen was well stocked. Lots of dishes, utensils, pots and pans.
- Melisa

Thanks so much for the review. We are so sorry to hear about your encounter with the "Palmetto bugs". We spray all homes frequently so really not sure why this happened but good to know so we can address it for future guests. The out of order pool pump is also a disappointment as we believed this would be fixed by your visit. Everything is working fine now so hopefully you will come back and give this wonderful home another chance!
