Grande Villas is proud to announce that our community has garnered national attention in a new ad campaign promoting VisitNC.com, the official travel and tourism web site for the State of North Carolina. The advertorial feature entitled “Get Cozy with North Carolina’s Secret Fireplaces” features a number of inviting destinations across the state for gathering around a crackling fire.

The cozy stone fire pit at Grande Villas is included as the only coastal North Carolina locale on the list: “It’s warm enough to sit outside year-round, and watch the light change at sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. Or, build up flames when it’s dark, and treat the kids to roasted marshmallows, s’mores and bedtime stories at this family-friendly beach haven.”

The advertorial appears in the February 2011 issue of Food & Wine magazine.
