Great Location

Loved this place! Best location ever!! Within walking distance to beach, restaurants, and the heart of Carolina Beach. Being that close to the lake was awesome! There was a nice breeze each day. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. Would love to stay there again!

What a CUTE little beach home!!

The house was so clean and the beds were like sleeping on a cloud. Plenty of towels and everything else you will need for a beach stay. Super close to beach access, shops and restaurants/bars. The owner is super sweet and very helpful. We will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Cottage & host

This was our 2nd year staying at the Lake Cottage and it’s one of the best little places on the island. Clean & comfortable, the house is perfect for a small family. Close to the lake for walking and the new playground for young children. Susan is prompt to answer messages and very understanding. I would recommend her and her cottage to anyone.

Lovely little cottage

We loved staying in the little yellow cottage on the lake. It's just a short walk to the beach where we spent our mornings. Relaxing on the screened porches and walks around the lake birdwatching were also favorite activities.

A lovely stay at the beach!

We had a wonderful stay at the lovely beach cottage! It was with him walking distance of the beach, some restaurants and shops. We love the relaxing and peaceful location by the lake. The inside decor was super cute and the beds were very comfortable. We will be back sometime, hopefully in the near future.

Beautiful Cottage/Beautiful Location

The house was everything we expected. It has a screened in porch on the front and back of the house. We watched fireworks on Thursday evening from the front porch and looked at Lake Park with its track that folks walked their dogs on the back porch. It was an easy walk to the beach, but back far enough for the quietness. It was beautiful inside. We will definitely be staying again. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay.

Perfect for a girl's weekend getaway!

Family cottage charm passed down through the years but updated interior. Very clean and bright! Location perfect for enjoying the lake and the ocean. The weekend provided a special setting to catch up and continue a 50+ year friendship. Susan was very attentive and made the check in and stay very nice. Thank you Susan.

Much needed respite

We was very pleased with everything that this cottage had to offer. It would have gotten 5 stars, but there was a couple of bugs. I figured that's to be expected with the age of the home. We look forward to returning again!

Perfect Beach Cootage

This adorable 2BR cottage is perfect for a couple who appreciate a nostalgic feel plus modern amenities. Susan was an outstanding host and has decorated the house beautifully. Overlooking Carolina Lake with backyard access to a well-lit walking path, the cottage was just a couple of blocks from beach access and plenty of Boardwalk activities. We have relatives in Wilmington so we plan to book this place whenever we plan on visiting. Highly recommended!

Nice relaxing place.

My husband and I had a wonderful 8 night stay at the cottage. It had everything we needed including a blender, coffee maker, toaster and Keurig in the kitchen. The towels and washcloths were amazing. Nice big fluffy ones and plenty of them. The front and back porches are screened in and the lake view was just so relaxing and peaceful. Walking distance to most anything you could want. We had a wonderful time and will surely come back. Maybe as soon as September : ) Just loved the place. BIG THANKS to Susan.

Quaint cottage on the lake

Very quaint cottage where you can feel the history of family time enjoyed there while enjoying up to date cozy beach decor. Very comfortable. Great location to beach, boardwalk and craft Market and outdoor movie by the lake. Love the feel of this house and the 2 screened porches. Owner was fantastic! Wagon was very helpful, as was the clothes line on porch and multiple hooks in the jack n jill bathroom. Towels and bedding were clean and soft. Bedrooms could use some curtains for room darkening as well as a mattress that doesn't dip in the back bedroom when 2 people are sharing it. Overall, we loved the cottage. Had everything we needed and will likely book a stay there again

Lakefront cottage bliss

This is the 2nd time my girlfriend and I have stayed at Susan's cottage. I really believe this the best of both worlds. The backyard has access to the lake and the screened in porch on the front and back is a dream. The flea market is right around the lake and a nice activity to partake in. The best part is the walking distance to the beach. I walked mostly twice a day, no parking worries is a godsend. The house itself has pretty much all that you need for an house that was built so long ago. Authentic beach cottage feel. We have communicated certain improvement opinions and Susan is very receptive to them. We appreciate her hospitality and will be back as much as possible.

Cute lakeside cottage

Susan was a great hostess. She was quick to respond to messages and questions. House was clean, full size washer & dryer, plenty of dishes and she gets bonus points for lots of fluffy towels :) most places give you one towel & washcloth per person but not here. You can tell it has new living room furniture, the sectional was sooo comfortable. Beds were very comfortable with plenty of pillows and extra sheets and blankets if needed. Televisions in both bedrooms and the living room. Within walking distance to public beach access but we rented a golf cart for fun. Nice quite neighborhood. We walked down Saturday to the lake market and while not oceanfront the back yard lake view is tranquil. Definitely recommend the house and host.

Great stay close to the beach

The house is a 6-ish minute walk to the beach and is close to many restaurants in the area. We loved sitting on the back porch and looking out on the lake (and taking walks around the lake as well). The host is very responsive to messages which was great!

We loved it!

From the easy check in accommodations to the variety of necessities that the cottage met, we fairly enjoyed our stay! The lake was a peaceful touch to those late nights on the back porch and the beach was only a 5 minute walk or so. This cottage is near just about everything! We will definitely be looking to book with Susan again in the future. Excellent hospitality!
