Nice place. Hot tub needed cleaning and rental host was very responsive. Hot tub maintenance company was unable to clean it until the day before our departure.

6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
We stayed at Star of the Sea in Carolina Beach, NC. The interior was clean, and the listing photos inside were accurate. Communication from the owners was prompt and appreciated. Being able to bring my dog was a plus.However, the outdoor space did not match the listing. The photos appear filtered and didn’t reflect the actual condition. The sectional appeared different than pictured, and the cushions were very dirty, making it unusable. The listing also showed a rug, but the area was just bare concrete.The biggest disappointment was the hot tub. It was dirty upon arrival. After reporting it, someone came the next day, but the cleaning seemed incomplete. The water never cleared, and I did not feel comfortable using it. The listing states the hot tub is new, but that was not my impression.There were also no instructions for the propane fire pit, so I didn’t feel safe attempting to use it.The fenced yard was sufficient, but I had to closely monitor my small dog due to gaps in the slats. A floodlight in the backyard would also be helpful for nighttime use.Overall, while the interior and communication were positives, the outdoor space and unusable hot tub were disappointing.
