Vacation

The area and view were a win for this property. Being able to walk out your door to the beach is a plus. My only suggestions would be to make some additional upgrades. The kitchen had been updated and looked nice. However, the couch in the living room was very broken down, very uncomfortable and not sufficient as a pull out for someone to sleep. The main shower is very small and had little water pressure and the doors would not lock or stay shut. The master shower had a door replaced with a mirror and therefore it was very dark. Paint peeling on the bathroom cabinets and doors were an eyesore. Bed linens are outdated and appeared stained in places. It could use a deep clean as the place smelled as if it had been shut up for a long period of time. Overall, it was a decent place to stay as we did not have plans to spend a lot of time in the unit.

Your night stay for Jeep Jam

The property was decent. Nothing extravagant but served the purpose. Could definitely use some updates as the smaller bedroom has an 18” 1990’s TV in it. My grown daughter (29) laughed at the comforter because she had the same comforter when she was 10. So, definitely could use some minor decor updates. Nice location. Nice view of the ocean. Easy check in/check out.

Great Place!

Seldom dies a property match EXACTLY what is listed! This one does! Clean, two bedrooms with two bathrooms that's on the beach. The view is exactly as in the pictures. The walk tk the beach sand is about 3 mins. The shared walkway over the sand, though, is not ADA compliant and could use some updating.

Short review

The day before we left for our ocean front condo, we were informed that the property next door to our condo had a water leak that effected our condo and we had to find another location to stay. The place that we reload located to was not ocean front and didn't allow for a short walk to the beach for 2 younger children and a handicapped mother in law. The location we had to stay at was a wonderful, clean and nice place. I just didn't allow for easy access to the beach for our family.

Beautiful view, great location, parking for 2nd car

Of the beachfront units we looked at, we decided on W&M because they offered parking for a 2nd vehicle across the street. The view was TREMENDOUS with the porch big enough for a table and chairs, good for meals or just hanging out.. The beach near the unit is wonderful and we took lots of long walks on the beach. October was a bit too chilly for me to swim! We enjoyed the restaurants nearby and walked to them several times. A SeaWitch shirt had to come home with me! The unit interior was great with plenty of room and privacy for the 4 of us. I think the kitchen has all you could want to prepare meals. Our main focus was COFFEE and cold drinks, as we ate out a lot. Grocery stores are within a short drive and there's plenty of touristy stuff to do: Ft Fisher park, breweries, a vibrant historic district downtown, hiking and more. The unit was super clean and I appreciated the way they bundled the fresh linens. The only item I really needed and not supplied was a bit of liquid dish soap, which I always bring with me for a rental.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time renting in North Carolina.the property was as discribed. Make sure to bring anything you want as spices,coffee,extra toilet paper etc, beach chairs. The unit can use some TLC many sloppy paint drips and paint needs to be updated in the hallway. The cooking pans are in sad shape. We had a couple of maintenance issues and mainteance was there within a half hour and fixed it. Very good service. It would be nice to have the higher type chairs on the patio to view over the railing, the chairs are cheap plastic. Overall the Condo was good the sunrises were great and the view is great. Everyone we inteacted with in the area was great. We would rent again if we go back to Carolina Beach.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just thought you need to know there were several outlets that don't work, in the kitchen and dining area. And please buy some new pots and pans, the teflon 10 inch skillet is dangerous to use as it is flaking. "PFOA is a risk factor for health conditions like chronic kidney disease, liver disease, thyroid disorders, testicular cancers, low birth weight, and infertility. Most manufacturers assumed that PFOA burns off during the process of manufacture, but traces of PFOA were found in some Teflon-coated cookware."Also, The toilet paper holder was almost falling off the wall. And we saw a couple of roaches and got two spider bites from the street side bedroom. Other than that we had a great time.

Just what the doctor ordered

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Needing time to rest, relax, recharge and spend time with family, I found this to be a perfect spot. I was a little concerned with the mixed reviews when I booked it, but would not hesitate to book it again. Honestly, I sometimes wonder what people are looking for in a vacation rental. If a not perfect paint job on a bathroom vanity, something other than granite countertops, or a little rust on the frame of an oceanfront metal patio table are going to ruin your vacation, then don't stay here. Overall the unit is clean, bright, nicely decorated, and well kept, and for a beachfront unit, the price was great. The location and view are hard to beat. Parking is more than adequate. Bryant Real Estate was super helpful and easy to work with. Very happy with our stay.

Could have done better for the price

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Given the pictures and the price, I was expecting a whole lot better than what I walked into. 700 dollars is way too mich for this place. I wonder where the 200 dollars for the cleaning goes be ause it doesn't look like they are doing mich cleaning. The reviews from September last year mention issues that still exist so no one has fixed the door off the track. I was disappointed. I wouldn't mind paying 450 dollars to stay there for the weekend but overall I could have found a cleaner place with much better accommodations for the same price I paid to stay at this out dated, dirty condo. I normally wouldn't mind sparing some comforts to save money, but I spent a good chunk of money to stay here and I don't feel it was a good investment.

VERY disappointed in condo condition

I would rate this condo a 1 (only redeeming factor, it is on the water, ocean front great location). Den furniture was filthy and worn completely out (need to be in the dump). Whole condo needs going over and stuff repaired and replaced, painted. Would not recommend.

Keep it real!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First, Bryant was very responsive to all concerns we had regarding this rental especially after having read disturbing reviews. That said, a review of this unit is truly dependent upon your personal expectations. Overall, Bryant took care to ensure that the unit was very clean upon our arrival. The décor and furnishings are very dated and worn. Knowing that upfront we brought furniture coverings from home and everything was fine. We have vacationed at Carolina Beach for over 10 years, most of which we paid more for units that were streets back, not oceanfront and we often saw water bugs. During our entire week we DID NOT see one water bug! The unit is conveniently located within walking distance to the Boardwalk and easily accommodated our party of 4. It’s unrealistic to think that you’re getting a 5-star accommodation at the price paid.
