BBQ instructions

I hope you are as excited about this BBQ as I am. If you just need to cook some hotdogs and hamburgers, use the gas grill on the right side. But if you are true Grill master,
Please enjoy the smoky flavor of the wood pellet grill on the left.
Please be a responsible griller and clean the grill when you’re finished.
We keep a bin of wood pellets in the play room. If the bin is empty you can purchase more pellets at Lowes or Walmart.
I have attached the instructions. Please read thru to familiarize yourself with the grill.

Fabulous place to relax and enjoy the scenery. The sunrise each day was totally amazing and with that came all kinds of birds, ducks, seagulls, you name it! If you love bird watching you will love it here. Lots of fun things to do if you have kids who get bored easily. Everything was perfect, we would definitely stay here again if only we lived a shorter distance away!

A real piece of heaven!

The house was so well equipped, and so well taken care of we’ve really felt at home! The hosts were so responsive to every little question I had before our trip, and even when we had to contact them over a very small issue, it was remedied within two hours. We hope to visit again. It truly is a little piece of heaven.

Wonderful Family Stay (again!)

We like to stay at this lovely property when visiting my parents who live in New Bern. The kids are always excited to return as they love the bunk room, the play space in the garage and the backyard. My husband and I love waking up and enjoying our coffee with beautiful panoramic views of the water. Always a joy to return to this special place!
