Sixteen guests, six bedrooms, five baths, 3,803 sq ft. The sand is about 450 feet away.

Two kitchens. Three primary bedrooms. A table for twelve.

Will Sea is three levels on a quiet Croatan street. Each primary bedroom has its own bath. Decks run on all three levels. There are two full kitchens and two laundries, so a week of beach towels does not stack up in one closet.

The baths have starter toiletries. The kitchens have a Keurig and a drip coffee maker. A highchair and a pack and play are in the house.
