We had an amazing pre-season stay! Ocean views for days. The condo was immaculate and I think we were the first tenants that benefitted from some off season upgrades. Five stars all around. :)

Vacation from ****!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Worst Vacation we have ever had in our 50 yrs of marriage. The place was not clean, roaches and ants on floor and cabinets, had to call maintain to repair sliding glass door, repair shower head, shower faucet repair. Furniture in den OLD and hurt back to sit on it! We heard squeaking bed was a horrible sound for 2 night AND not having an elevator for people who have had hips and knees replaces. WORST RENTAL and rented from Bryant Reality.WE HAVE REQUESTED A FULL REFUND OF $1054.07 IMMEDIATELY.!Jerry/Joyce Deal

Lovely stay at CB

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: We were delighted to find the rental in great condition, the pictures look great online, but in actuality the property is even nicer. Plenty of dishes, utensils, and cookware. I did not see much in the way of bakeware so if you’re planning on bringing a box of brownies, bring an aluminum pan. We’ve stayed on CB a number of times over the year and really appreciated this location more than those we’ve stayed that are further down past the hotels. The beach is less crowded, plenty of space for everyone. The boardwalk area is about a 15 minute walk which is pleasant along the beach with the breeze. Parking costs $5 an hour or $20 a day at the public lots and spaces available near restaurants and other activities. We had no problems with WIFI, appliances, etc. great water pressure in showers. The balcony is worth the price alone.

Beach Vacation Not my kind of beach

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Carolina beach was a beautiful beach however the overcrowding of houses and condos made for a claustrophobic feel. Also parking in the town area was $5 an hour so going to restuarants and the amusement area was an added expense not expected expense. While the description of our rental indicated everything was close, they were a mile away so walking was not optimal. Beach access was wonderful and ocean views spectacular. Condo could use some updates especially in living room furniture which was very uncomfortable.

Great condo with plenty of room and beautiful view

We enjoyed our stay in this condo. It truly has everything you could need for a wonderful beach vacation. It could use a little updating, but this didn’t make our stay any less enjoyable. Has a great deck overlooking the ocean and a balcony overlooking the street and other houses.

Great one the beach location

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: Condo was nice, great location, the number of beds was a plus but... the bunk needs some kind of box spring or wood plank or something to quiet the squeaking. It was so obnoxious, it kept everyone in that room awake as any little movement made for very loud noises.

Mini vacation rivals other vacations

The peace that we felt is indescribable. The rooms were larger than expected. The atmosphere was soothing to the soul. We already want to go back. And this is from folks who usually do not stay anywhere without a pool & elevator. Everything else made up for that. Looking to book again for another weekend next month if schedules permit.

Excellent Location and Views

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: We really enjoyed our stay at Janssen. The location was perfect, close to restaurants and the boardwalk without being in the busier sections of the beach. The views from the deck were wonderful and we spent most of our time out there when we weren’t on the beach. The unit was clean and everyone we talked with at Bryant were kind and helpful. A few things to note:The door sticks and makes it hard to turn the bolt when you are putting in the code. The shower in the hall bathroom is tiny! Obviously not much they can do about this but just something to know if you will have adults also using this shower. The master bedroom gets really warm from the afternoon sun. We kept the vertical blinds closed the whole time but it was easily always 5-10 degrees warmer in there. I would suggest they add some black out curtains to that room to help cut down the heat. Also when the air does turn on it moves the vertical blinds making them click. This was mostly a problem at night as I am a light sleeper and it would wake me up. The chairs on the deck are not very comfortable. Especially if you use them as much as we did. We spent a few hours every night out there and most mornings having breakfast.

Oceanfront loveliness

The view from the deck of this property is fantastic. We were on the second floor, so we were just above the dune— so nice. A bit of an issue checking in— the door code we were given didn’t work but the rental company responded quickly and fixed it over the phone. The only other issue was that, as we were checking out, a leak formed in the kitchen. I called the rental company and they said they were sending someone right out. Aside from those issues, the condo was clean and the furniture was comfortable. I’d suggest the owner consider a WiFi extender for the front of the house— a $40 investment that would make a big difference for the tv and device reception in the living room and deck.

Very nice place/location, but a few hiccups

Having never been to Carolina Beach, it is a hidden gem of a beach town and the beachfront location of this place is unbeatable. The apartment was clean and ad advertised, with a nice balcony overlooking the water and walking distance to good restaurants and the boardwalk. A few pain points: There was no hot water in the master bathroom, and the water coming from the guest bathroom smelled like sulfur for the entire 3 days. In addition, while the clean, packaged linens were appreciated, having to put on the fitted sheet and other bed linens ourselves was less than ideal. Lastly, in 2020 it's completely understandable that most rentals don't have cable, but it should be made clearer, or the TV's should be upgraded to be modern smart TV's. As out of towners, we struggled to stream playoff hockey on the TV in the living room which was frustrating. Also, the WiFi network that was listed in the welcome package was not available (not listed in available networks, despite massive amounts of technical troubleshooting). I called the 3rd party property management company as we were there for work, and unfortunately did not have the WiFi enabled. We were given the WiFi network next door/upstairs, but it was not stable nor reliable, which made working remotely difficult. Lastly, the doorcode given to us in our welcome package was wrong, I believe due to as missing # sign not being written in the package. It was reset fairly quickly, but if the # sign is required, it's very frustrating that this was omitted in the welcome package, creating a delay and overhead while trying to get into the house. Overall the house was great and the location was great, but I want to point out the things that create work/frustration/overhead for renters so that VRBO can improve and deliver an even better customer experience next time.
