Fishing Village with Dock Access & Tandem Kayak. The Crystal Coast is yours!

Your home away from home is a FULLY LOADED single wide mobile on Broad Creek newly renovated with upgraded everything! Bright, cheery, comfy, pristine cleanliness & beautifully decorated! We have thought of everything from q-tips and a sewing kit to a French press and kayak and everything in between.

A large porch is a favorite and is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The evening lighting is pretty with string lights, lanterns and candles. A grill is provided, as well as a fire pit for those chilly evenings. Don’t forget the marshmallows….we provide the roasting forks.
We boast a very well stocked kitchen with everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal. Most seasonings and condiments as well as cookware/bakeware and small appliances are provided. We have plenty of serving platters/bowls as well as outdoor plastic ware. You can cook a Thanksgiving feast without panicking.
A generous selection of complimentary breakfast beverages are also available to you.

We use only luxury soft bedding and the master bedroom has a top of the line Beautyrest Black king size bed. Cozy without killing your back! The 2nd bedroom has two firm twins that can be converted to a king easily with the provided kit as well as the bedding. Both rooms have their own bathroom with premium thick towels & salon quality bathing products. There is also a queen sofa sleeper in the living room. We can sleep three adult couples comfortably. Did you draw the short straw and get the sleeper sofa in the living room? Well thank your lucky stars… you get the TV and all the kitchen snacks without disturbing anyone! Woohoo!!
We have a family game cupboard indoors and an outdoor toy box with sand toys, horseshoes, croquet and a basketball for the court next door at the neighborhood park. We also provide beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and an ice chest for those relaxing outdoor days.

Have pooches?
We are pet friendly and do the best we can to clean fur, but there is no way every hair will be eradicated. If that is an issue, please don’t book with us. The folks who live behind us have band practice usually once a week on Sunday afternoons. It’s a good time to play your own music or watch a movie.
We expect ALL adults to read our house manual. It’s always obvious when this doesn’t happen.
We have high expectations for those with dogs. We welcome pooches and travel nowhere without our Trigger, so we understand you want them with you. We expect responsibility for fur clean up. Please do not let wet and dirty dogs in the house. Please dry them and/or take the blow dryer to them outside. There are dog towels on the top shelf in the master bathroom. Bring sheets for the beds and couch if your pups insist all furniture belongs to them. DO NOT let shedding dogs in the bed!! Fur does not magically disappear in the wash. We will toss the sheets and charge $75 for a new set.
There is a lint roller on the laundry shelf. Non shedders can lay anywhere they please! Thanks for understanding! We care very much about our next guests too.
We provide a tandem kayak for your use and our private neighborhood dock is a quick two minute walk to launch. You can dock your boat or water toys there, throw in a line or just sit and watch the sunset. The water on Broad Creek is calm and a day out on the water is relaxing and fun, even for the inexperienced.

FISHING, FISHING, FISHING…..
Our neighborhood is a funky old fishing village with a marina to launch your boat just across the bridge. Surprise…you’re not in Beverly Hills! Houses and mobile homes are mixed in together with most being second homes and very few full time residents. Almost everyone has at least one boat. Bring yours…we have loads of parking available.
Our dear friend Stacy lives directly across the street. He is a friendly man who has been around forever and is your go to guy for fishing tips and all things Crystal Coast. Be sure to say hi… you’ll be glad you did!
Lots of American flags fly high and maybe a Trump flag here and there…and to be fully transparent…a confederate flag across the street. As mostly Republican the neighborhood is, please don’t let that make you feel uncomfortable or unwelcome….everyone still loves us and we’re unconventional to say the least. It is extremely inclusive for all races, religions and sexual orientation. We’ve hosted folks from all walks of life without issue for a very long time.
Also good to know….the folks that live behind us have band practice usually once a week for a couple hours. A good time to blast your own music with our sound system that is hooked up to speakers throughout the house or turn up the volume on our 55” HDTV.

If you’re looking for a place where you feel relaxed with all the comforts of home and loads of extra amenities, access to water and a short drive to gorgeous beaches, killer fishing, tasty eateries or just a place to hole up and get away from it all, Under the Sea is the place to be!

Outstanding!
First of all, this home is super cute, and I loved the creative nautical touches. It had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing getaway. The kitchen was spacious and well appointed for those nights we wanted to cook in and relax. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfy, and the shower head in the master bath was amazing. We also really appreciated having a washer and dryer to keep up with laundry while we were there. The layout of the home was also perfect for having our grandson stay overnight on the weekend. We liked that his room was at the other end of the house and had its own bathroom. Of course, our favorite thing of all was the porch, which was such a great place to hang out. It had everything we needed to host our daughter and family for a Memorial Day cookout. Carmen is an excellent host and was patient with us, even when we arrived late at night and called her (and probably woke her up) because we had trouble initially finding the lockbox with the keys because it was dark. Thank you, Carmen! We really enjoyed our stay.

My dad even said at one point I need (something) I know she has to have it here she has everything!!! And guess what, whatever it was she did have!! The neighbors were wonderful and are part of the reason we want to come back for longer just to chat. I would recommend this place to everyone we know it was perfection!!

It is clean and everything functional. We couldn't figure out the wheels for the kayak. Games/toys not quite as nice as described. Overall it served us well. My granddaughter was thrilled to discover the mini waffle maker and it worked great. For me, there were way too many pillows in the master.I had trouble finding a place for all of them.

Perfect Getaway!
Carmen is hands down the best host I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying with! She did everything she could to make our weekend perfect for us. The house is absolutely AMAZING! My kids begged us to stay for longer, and said their beds were the comfiest ever 😂 The kayak was the greatest addition, we spent hours on the sound and even got to outrun a rainstorm in the kayak. We can’t say enough great things about this place, and it’s amazing owner. I would give 1,000 stars if I could. Everything was absolutely perfect! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us Carmen!

Beautiful Getaway
Great house - loved the way it was decorated. Great colors and beach theme made me instantly say " ahhhhh" and relax. Super clean. Everything is new or updated. The porch was a fav. So nice!!! Loved watching the birds come to the feeders. Wonderful flowers around the place. As others have said - they added some extras that just made it "above and beyond". Tea/coffee supplies like I have never seen. Qtips. Lotion. Top of the line shampoo (ps..whats the name of them cause my daughter is in love and we didnt take note of the brand lol). Due to quick visit and a few lightening filled clouds when we had time, we never got to jump on the kayak. Next time ! The area looks just beautiful to paddle in. Highly recommend this rental. Owner is super sweet and helpful. We rent a lot and never has the interaction been so good. A++ ( former teacher lol had to grade lol)

This place was the best! You can tell that the hosts really care about you and your families comfort and needs. Especially the fur babies❤️ Carmen had water and food dishes already set out for our elderly dog Buddy. Everything we could have needed was already there. All we needed to do was buy the groceries we needed but best believe…every condiment, coffee and creamer, soap and shampoo, pots and pans, all the way down to the laundry detergent…it was already there waiting on us. The neighborhood and neighbors across the street were a delight. They even invited us over for a nice porch sit and cool drink on a hot day. One of them even took us for a ride in her golf cart down to the pier so our son and her grandson could catch shrimp and go crabbing together. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay or people to stay around. We were very comfortable and anytime I needed anything, all I had to do was let the host know. 5 stars all around from this family for making us feel like we were part of yours❤️

Nice clean home
Home is very clean and well appointed. Worked fine for us and what we needed. Just a few small complaints, the kayak was a two person type, also the nylon skid plate that is on some kayaks at the rear so you can drag it without damaging the hull appeared to be missing and the area taped over, also the dock area nearby to launch the boat is a boat launch that is in very poor condition and basically unusable at anything except high tide. The bathroom was nice and very clean but I had a couple issues with that too, the door needed to be planed down a bit, it stuck at the top and made a fair amount of noise when you opened it, also the toilet has only a seat, no lid, I like a lid on the toilet. One last thing, the refrigerator in the kitchen has the hinge on the wrong side of the doors.
