Clean, conveniently located .

The house was clean and conveniently located. The views were gorgeous. We really enjoyed our stay. I do wish they provided more towels and linens. The listing said they had bikes but we could'nt find any. Since everything is pay for parking on carolina beach, bikes would've been cconvenient to have.

Carolina Beach, Great area

We all really enjoyed this rental and area! We had fun swimming, fishing, canoeing/paddle boarding off the docks, we caught several croakers and spot fish, all of which we released, as they were small, so fun to catch! The beach was super close to walk to for fun beach time and early morning walks… Really, the best of both areas of water…The house was clean and well Maintained and it had pretty much everything we needed in the kitchen and rooms. The laundry room was a plus and much needed. It was nice to have the beach towels available… The accommodation for our dog was perfect! Thank you! We had a wonderful time and it was great area!

A Nice Experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Really enjoyed the property. Being on the canal was nice. Kayaks and paddle boards available for use along with a grass grill. Was nice to hang out on the decks facing the canal. Kitchen was well stocked. Location was only 1.5 blocks from the beach. More or less had to drive to get to shops and restaurants being a ways up the strip between the canal and the ocean. Lots of steps being 4 levels. Only negative was the shower and tubs could have been cleaned a bit better.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was awesome! We had so much fun on the dock with the paddleboards we barely went to the beach. Only complaint is the flooding at hi tide. We had to park the car several blocks from the house and walk through water to get home. Other than that, very good experience.

Great stay in Carolina Beach!

We had a great time at Docks, Decks and Sunsets. The sunset views from the 3 canalside decks were truly wonderful. The beautiful dock was a great spot to tie up our boat and the gazebo a great spot any time of day. The clean, well-stocked home is beautiful and comfortable, and a great location on Carolina Beach. We would love to come back to spend another vacation in this great home!!

Family Friendly Fun!

Docks, Decks & Sunsets is the perfect family friendly property! With its gorgeous views of the canal and short walk to Starfish beach it’s location can’t be beat. It is clean, well cared for and true to the images in property listing. The layout is perfect for multiple families and is well suited for visitors of all ages. The property is well stoked with all of the amenities you need as your home away from home. Docks, Decks & Sunsets is just moments away from fantastic food and local attractions. It’s a must stay if planning a trip to Carolina Beach!

Owners were present during renovations on another unit and were very friendly and accommodating. A lot of steps for someone elderly or with knee issues but necessary due to location.

Great graduation celebration at the beach

Our intent was to make the best of our daughter’s virtual UNCW graduation by spending a week at the beach with our family. This lovely home did not disappoint! It is well-appointed, had tons of space for the 9 of us, is a short walk to the beach and delighted us with sunset views off the numerous decks. There are a number of stairs which could be a problem for some but did not bother us - although it took our dog half the week to get the nerve to go down them! (Nice neighbors too!) We would absolutely rent this property again.
