This place was exactly as described; quite old, but charming and perfectly adequate, easy walk to the beach, and clean. As other reviewers have noted, if there are upstairs guests, you hear them, but fortunately the folks there while we were visiting were considerate, and we were not disturbed.

We had a wonderful week, with 5 adults and 2 children, ages 4 to 76 and plenty of room for us in this charming house. . The beautiful beach was only a several minute walk away. Restaurants, the Boardwalk, and several grocery stores were an easy drive. If we vacation again at lovely Carolina Beach, we would definitely stay in this historic cottage.

Our place was very nice. Location was good. Beach was good. Very dirty ocean due to storm first 3/4 days. Cleared up some on Friday and Saturday. Beautiful weather the entire time. Really enjoyed the time there. One problem though, a family of 8 moved in on Friday morning at 3:00. They were very loud. They were loud the entire time I will only rent a one story for one family next time I stay with you. They showed no respect for our family on the 1st level but that’s ok. I learned what to request next time. Thank you

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very 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: No follow-up communication even though I sent 4 emails. broken chairs in kitchen, living room and porch, beds hard and squeaky, bug in living room, overall condition of the unit did not match the pictures online. Value for money paid was not good.
