Do not stay here

Unfortunately we were not pleased at all with this place. You can tell the experience of the renter was not the priority of the homeowner. First some positives, the property mgt company and the location were the only positives. They were very responsive, easy checking and out. The location is about 4 blocks from a very busy public access beach but walkable. About 7-10 minutes. What made our stay unpleasant was: The amount of bugs in the unit. You could tell it had not been rented for a while and was not checked prior to being rented. Many alive and dead roaches and other bugs. The AC did not function properly at night. We woke up the first night to it being 80 degrees on the first and second floor. I contacted property mgt and they had someone out within the hour. It seemed fixed but we had the same issue the second night. Woke up at 2:00am to it being 80 degrees. The fan in the master bedroom made so much noise we couldn’t use that to satisfy it being so hot. We had to go sleep in the second bedroom with our children because that fan didn’t make noise. The kitchen is not suited for any kind of cooking.you would have to supply EVERYTHING down to salt and pepper. So many spoons?? My 10 year old daughter leaned against the kitchen island and it moved about a foot. Many decorations that were shown in the listing were not there as advertised except for the big furniture. Overall a terrible experience for our family.

Nice, affordable rental

The home was very nice and a great value for price. The only thing that would have been a plus would have been a guide in the unit to explain how to use the tv sets, etc. and to provide some local information about restaurants and tourist attractions.

Do not book!

I booked this place in January to say with my 8 friends in July! Upon my arrival, the place was already booked by other tenants. Please note, I had received the access code to get in her house and almost walked in! (Thank goodness a neighbor stopped me!) Wait it gets better... She held onto my money for 7 months knowing that I could not book this place! I arrived at the location at 4pm. Suzanne canceled at 5:30. Would never recommend staying here!!

Great location, lacking some amenities

We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the walk to the beach, the bikes and chairs, and the large kitchen island. However, some of the bedding was dirty upon arrival, laundry was still in the dryer, and the kitchen lacked many cooking utensils such as a baking sheet and measuring cups.

Great location

Overall great stay. Walking distance from beach. House was tidy. I couldn’t find an iron on site, that would be my only suggestion.

Almost a perfect getaway

The home itself is beautiful. The only thing that would have made my families stay perfect was the lack of curtains and dressers in the bedrooms. The early morning Carolina sun is extremely bright and we are on vacation and are not trying to wake up with the chickens. And the lack of a dresser in the bedroom or a stand to place our luggage on was inconvenient. There are closets but the closets had sheets and other items inside them. The overall listing on Vrbo vs what the house looked like was completely changed as the listing showed curtains in the living room and plants but the house when we arrived everything pictured on the first floor was changed out and looked as if it was in the middle of a move. My recommendations, definitely in need of curtains also provide a packing list of what the renter should bring with them as the home when we arrived did not have toilet paper so we had to run to the store. Again our overall experience was good we loved our stay and would do it again.

Short but sweet visit.

Great location and house lay out. Need to clarify what to bring and what the house has to offer. Very prompt in communicating. The listing was taken down by VRBO and that was confusing.

Lovely space blocks from the beach

We enjoyed our short stay here. The beach access we walked to was right at the carolina beach / kure beach line and we like being between the two (and it had a public restroom). The layout of the rooms worked well for us and we liked the large living area. House was clean, linen & towels provided, TV & wifi worked well. Our biggest complaint was the lack of what we would consider basic kitchen items - cutting boards, baking trays, a toaster, but we got creative. Alexa speaker and laptop were available for use but we did not use them. What the kitchen lacked, the garage provided as far as beach equipment- multiple chairs, coolers, umbrellas, and a buggy to carry it all in were much appreciated. The host was available through the app, though once we checked in we didn't see a need to reach out. I'm not sure if the neighbors were residents or renters, but there was a decent amount of traffic on their side of the stairs & porch, for more privacy/quiet I'd probably use the one on the top floor. Overall, we would return! It is a block or two further from the beach than we would usually stay but no one (including the 3 year old) seemed to mind. we had a lovely dinner at salt fish (reservation recommended) our first night, and couldn't leave without a britts donut.

Close to the beach.

Nice place to stay close to the beach. Kitchen doesn't have much to work with as far as preparing meals for a family but we made it work. The place was clean with the exception of couple loads of linens and towels that were in the dryer. I just folded them and left them for the next guest. Maybe the house keeper forgot they were in there. The front porch fan and string lights didn't work and the patio chairs on the upper deck were all broken except for 1 of them. Other than these things the stay was nice.

Nice place

This was a lovely place and was walking distance to the beach. Nice colors on the walls, comfy beds, powerful HVAC system. The check in process was a bit challenging because I needed to reach out to the person managing the property several times to know how to get inside when that is something that should be sent along before the checkin day/time. Once I was finally given the code after some back and forth, discovered the door wasn’t even locked. The bath towels are mostly old/stained/mismatched and kind of tossed in the linen closets in a messy way that looked like they weren’t for guests, with only two hand towels and once washcloth in the whole entire place. Also missing were the iPad and laptop mentioned in the ad, so if anyone is expecting them, which is an unusual amenity…they weren’t there. And there was no toaster or any kind of pan to be able to bake a pizza or other things in the oven. So some of our meal plans for waffles, bagels, pizza - didn’t come to pass. The communication was not great with the person managing it. I had trouble getting answers to questions like: where might the toaster be? The place has clearly been put together well with attention to details that make it very nice and comfortable, so it was a nice stay in general. Just want to also share it had its challenges. The front porch was lovely but we couldn’t really use it since the neighbors that seem to live in the same building (it’s a duplex) are much of the time out there smoking on their porch which is right up against this one. I hate to complain but want to be honest about it - the good parts and the not so great parts.

Nice property, good location and rental experience.

The listing was better than shown in the pictures. My friends were impressed with how comfortable the place was. Great location & nice neighbor too. The listing contact was very responsive. Walk to the beach and a short ride to coffee shops restaurants and the boardwalk. The place even has a useable garage that can fit two cars. It does not have a view of the ocean, but if that is what you want, go ahead and pay for it somewhere else. We did not need that and thought the price was really good for being as close to the beach as this place is. I always rely on reading reviews and this place appeared to be too new of a listing with no reviews yet, and I went for it anyways. Best decision I made in the last 2 months :) Just be aware if you are a night owl, bring your goodies, because nothing in Carolina Beach (the “island”) appeared to be open 24/7.

Nice Stay + Great Location

This place was clean and pretty. There are two separate decks which made the mornings calm and amazing. It’s located just a minute from the beach and a few minutes from our favorite restaurants. Michaels Seafood and Oceanview Breakfast are the best! If you want an amazing place to buy swimsuits or souvenirs is “palms.” The response time of the property owner was great too!
