My wife's family came in from the midwest and rented a place close to the area. So we were looking for something close to them, but separate so our immediate family could have alone time. Everything was ready when we got there with no waiting.
My wife just had surgery, so walking on the beach was out of the question. It was great that the pool was only a 2 minute walk. It also didn't hurt that there was a bar right beside the pool. Harry the Hats was great!! Tuesday was karaoke, tacos, and cheap margaritas. Flip Flops was another small hole in the wall right around the corner that had a great late night vibe.
All you can eat seafood buffets are less than a mile away. Original Benjamin's has all the themed rooms with model ships. The Giant Crab has a bigger kid's buffet.
If you are looking for shopping, Tanger Outlets is a 5 minute drive. There is a Bass Pro Shop with a Twin Peaks bar&grill for the men waiting on their wives shopping.
There are a couple of putt putt courses, a laser tag arena, and a large pall hall all within a mile for ones looking for different activities.
Very nice stay. Beds were nice and comfortable, making it easy to catch up on extra sleep. Just a relaxing time all the way around.
