Our family loves staying here! The house is cute and cozy. Has everything you need to cook meals which is important for us. Being across the street from the beach is super convenient!
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
This was a great property!! Communication with the owner was great and she always responded quickly. We’ve been coming to Carolina Beach for about 20 years now. It’s our annual family trip in May. My hubby and I decided to come off season for our 15th anniversary and we had a blast. House was fully loaded with everything you needed. Great restaurants in walking distance. We really liked The Spot and Island Burgers.If I had one tiny dislike, it was the bathroom. It was a little small. My hubby and I are a little plump. More space would have been much appreciated. Nevertheless we made it work and would rent again with no hesitation.. Did I mention it’s DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE BEACH!?!?!?!

We loved staying here. The location is amazing. Easy walk to the beach and multiple places to eat. I loved how easy it was to check in and the owner is great with communication. Highly recommend this house!
6 / 10Average·Jun 2022
When I drive up to the property, I am automatically somewhat disappointed. Front lawn furniture is in Poor condition. Carport is full of sand (I swept it 3 separate times trying to get all the sand out). Hammock in back yard was full of leaves
and dirty. Grill was full of leaves and trash and not useable. Inside was clean although when we got there and turned on hot water there was a “rotten egg” sulfur smell. We had to run the hot water until smell went away. Obviously we were the first occupants in awhile but paying what we paid and not getting what it should have been was disappointing
