Loved this property- especially the deck! Great location, accommodating host, a wonderful place for our family to gather. It truly felt like a well-loved home. Loved their collection of books! Check-in was super easy and the kitchen was great.

The Exum Cottage was accommodating just as described with everything you need for a beach vacation. We had an awesome time exploring the area and did not want to leave. The beach is simply amazing! We hope to return soon.

The Exum Cottage was the perfect location for our reunion. The huge oceanfront deck was definitely the hangout with an awesome view of the ocean and lots of seating. We also loved all the natural wood paneling inside, both new and original, as well as the renovated kitchen and bathrooms. Great showers and water pressure! Streetside there was plenty of parking for a few guests. Electronics - tv, music and wifi - were all there and easy to connect and use. The area was also great with sidewalks everywhere and trails into Ft Macon State Park for walking and bike riding. We'll be back for sure!
