10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
This was the perfect little beach house for our family. Very clean and soooooooo close to the beach...an easy walk for all of us, even with chairs. Decks are perfect to enjoying the beach breezes, and the laundry room was a welcome addition to help us minimize our packing lists. I would highly recommend this rental for groups of 4-6 people!

The cottage was nice. It was a close distance to the beach.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2024
Great parts of property:
-Location is walkable to beach with bathrooms. This accessible beach was great for bringing a wagon.
-House has cold AC, nice deck with outdoor furniture
-Plenty of couches for relaxing
-Washer/Dryer is always a perk
-2 full baths and outdoor shower
-Space for a family
Things that are still true from past reviews that were not addressed:
-Nail sticking up in master bedroom floor
-Dog hair on throw pillows, rug, washer/dryer area (more bothersome because property is listed as "pet free")
-There are no longer bunk beds as pictured, now two twins, tiny dresser and one blocks the closet.
Other notes about layout, etc
-Laundry & extra fridge are ground level room and have access from outside only (bring a laundry basket).
-To enter the property it is the stairs on the side. Prepare to be outside for unloading.
-The tan recliners, when reclined, hit the blinds and the coffee table... could use a rearrange.
-Master has folding doors so not a ton of privacy.
-Towels are not provided for free.
-Typical weekly rental property where you bring all paper products
Other details that would make this 10/10:
-Microwave turntable was replaced with wrong size and does not turn freely
-Screen door missing closing mechanism
-All but one non stick pan in rough condition. We bought a plastic spatula as there were only metal ones.
-No cable working in twin room
This review is not meant to discourage, just to set expectations. I also left feedback to Carolina Shores.

Reviewer Comments:
Very busy road in front of property. If u are looking for peace and quiet this is not it. Beds were ok comfort wise. Outside of home looks nice, inside needs some updating. If you are looking to cook meals you better start early. Stove one burner did not work, took over an hour to boil a pasta pot of water. Kitchen needs updated, boards under sink and dishwasher falling apart dirty. Silver ware drawer dirty. Black dog hair every where in home. Couches had some stains. Just overall not impressed.
