Beachhaven Delightful Beach Cottage One Row Back Reno'd Baths & All Carpet Gone!

Location was excellent and hostess was very helpful and communicative.

Easy check in. Kitchen was updated.

This was a nice house and overall we enjoyed our stay here. It’s close to the beach which was very convenient and the AC worked well downstairs. It also included sheets which was nice to not have to bring/buy like some of the other houses here. Outdoor shower worked well and it had laundry which was nice. The home needs some updates though. Nothing that ruined our stay but things that should get some attention. Both hairdryers are broken and all of the outlets in both bathrooms do not work. So if you want to blow dry your hair, you have to do it in the bedroom etc. I messaged the host about this and no response. The flooring needs to be replaced and has a large bubble up in the master (the host told us about this only during check in) but it sounds like they plan to replace the floors soon. And lastly, if you have kids, be careful on the deck- there are several nails sticking up that we stepped on twice. If you’re new to the area, something to keep in mind, that while it’s close to the downtown area, it is incredibly noisy. Lots of golf carts honking and music playing and cars driving VERY fast until almost midnight every night. We’ve stayed at other parts of ocean isle that are much quieter and with young kids, we probably wouldn’t chose to stay this close to downtown again.

The house is very cute from the outside. The inside needs fresh paint. Kitchen and bath cabinets are sticky as well as stair railings. Blinds all need replacing. Windows are stuck shut and cannot be opened or cleaned between panes. That said the 6 of us loved everything else about the home! It's got character. We're all adults and everyone got their own bed. The location is great. Easy walk back to house from the beach if you forgot something. Easy to walk out last minute and see sunrise or sunset and they were spectacular! Good places to shop and eat. You can walk to the pier and go out on it for $2.00 per person. We saw dolphins from the pier and again from the beach. Dawn (owner) was very nice when I called about a few things. The kitchen has lots of spices for cooking which makes it easy for travelers flying. Worth the rental but if you're looking for a brand new shiny place, this is not it.
