Beach 9/24

Perfect size and space for a family of 7! The kitchen and living spaces were A good fit and the balconies very inviting. The stairs however I wouldn't recommend to the elderly nor to the disabled. The living room couch could use a deep cleaning and I think the water msy need to be checked.

Carolina Beach stay

We loved stay at Carolina Beach! The house was great, loved the location and the pool! The house was clean and well stocked. We will probably choose a place with less stairs next time for aging folks in our family.

Crazy stairs!!!!

The house is nice! Nice rooms, bathroom, balconies, pool, not a long walk to beach less than 1/4 mile. The stairs are CRAZY!!!! SO MANY STAIRS!!!!! There is no level that has everything you need, bed, bathroom, livingroom and kitchen area. First thing you do is open doors walk up 15 steep stairs, there are rooms bathroom and laundry room, then up 15 steep stairs to kitchen and living area, then up 15 more steep steps to the other rooms and bathroom. Killer leg work out! If you have bad knees or back not the house for you! Babies bring baby gates. Old/fat/lazy/out of shape......may wanna rethink I have bad knees 48 years old I'm out of shape and boy oh boy do I feel all those steps! Good trip I'm glad I went only thing I'd change is the steps lol.

Didn't meet expectations

There is 3 sets of very steep stairs in this rental. Not good for mobility issues. Pool was to dirty to swim. Reported but never cleaned. One of the big reasons I rented. Very disappointing. Told us brown spots all over pool were rust spots. They were not as they could be wiped and the pool was a fiberglass insert. Also pool had algae all over. Dryer did not work wasn't fixed until 6th day of our 7 day vacation. Ants in unit was addressed the same day reported. Carpet was filthy on the first level. Did get a call asking if I wanted them to vaccum. I declined as vacuuming wouldn't help it needed cleaning. I have rented many houses on vbro for years this is the only property we had issues with. We still enjoyed our vacation but you do expect to get what you pay for. An issue that was fixed is not a big deal but multiple issues makes you feel like you didn't get what you paid for.

Family Reunion Fun

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a good week with family from all over the USA. The stairs were an issue for the older members. We had been told several times that there were two bedrooms on street level. The Bryant members assured me each time this was true . This was absolutely not true! I felt this was dishonest.

Maritime Mess

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very 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: Thoroughly dissatisfied. Dryer was broken almost the entire week, ants and roaches everywhere, roof leaked and lost power in one bedroom due to water everywhere and part of our family had to vacate, 2 adults with 2 small children were staying in that particular room. Bryant showed no real concern and the communication from them was nonexistent, we had to keep calling. Will never rent from them again!

Booked Friday for the following week at a great price and no hassle. Great spaces for a large family. The pool was very refreshing and just big enough. The only downside is all those steps with 2 kids under 3, but I got my workout in. Will be back!

The house is beautiful and brightly decorated. Loved the decks on each level. Great gathering space for everyone but also spaces to spend some time alone. The pool was an added bonus. We will be back!

Excellent stay 3 blocks from the beach!

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: Our stay was really great here. The beach was a short stroll to the beach. The place was very clean and had nice little touches throughout. The keurig coffee machine, a white noise machine, roku on every TV, and the couch in the living room was also a pullout! The pool needed some extra cleaning but we think it was from the surrounded tree debris. We used the net and the kids were able to still swim in it. This was not something that prevent us from coming again.

Solid beach property

Everything about the experience was perfect. Great place. There are lots of levels and stairs. We didn’t mind, but be prepared. It was great to have 3 bathrooms and large beds for adults and still have a room to put the kids in. The only thing we didn’t realize was that it was a little too early in the year for the pool. Wish they had that in the description. FYI: It’s not heated or maintained before May. No big deal though.

Beautiful Home With ALOT of Stairs

The home was beautiful. It was cleaned thoroughly and provided all the comforts of home. The kitchen was stocked with lots of utensils, pots, pans, plates, and etc. The one thing I think they should over emphasize in this listing is the amount on stairs. 3 floors is a lot of stairs to climb (rough guess at least 30). If you ever have people with disabilities in your party this can be a major obstacle. The kitchen and living room are on the second floor so imagine hauling up groceries.. you will cuss..lol. We made it work for our group but it was definitely a struggle for my seniors and persons with disabilities. The location and neighborhood were wonderful and well within walking distance to the beach. My family and I had a great time here and I would definitely rent this unit again in the future for a different group of people.

Great spot

This property was perfect for our family of 10. It was close to everything, walking distance to beach was key and having a pool onsite was wonderful! The decor was bright and cheery. I would highly recommend this property. It does have a lot of stairs so keep that in mind when booking. But if stairs are not a problem, then you shouldn’t have any problems.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Overall a nice place. We liked the pool, the furniture and the kitchen layout and tools. No bath on dining/living floor was a little inconvenient. The TV was a little hard to use if you were not in on modern technology. The biggest minus was the number of steps. Needed the exercise, but groceries and luggage was quite a haul up 28 or 42 steps depending on the level you accessed. Next time I will plan a little better when packing.

Beautiful house!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful vacation home! We were pleasantly surprised to see we were only walking distance from the beach! The house was immaculate, and there was plenty of space! The teenagers were annoyed that the WiFi wasn’t working, but management got someone out quickly! Also, we weren’t able to use the pool because it was dirty, and it didn’t look like the pump was running...but, again we called the office and they sent someone out to clean and fix the pool! I’m happy we were able to enjoy the pool! Overall 5 out of 5 experience!
