The home was surprisingly spacious and welcoming. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The house is situated in a beautiful neighborhood, and the beach is about a 5-10 minute walk. Close to some really delicious local favorites too (Butts and Such, Uncle Vinny’s, and the Peach Cobbler Factory). The fact that it is a pet friendly property is a plus, so the entire family can enjoy a vacation! 🐾

We loved the house and the location. It was our first time to Carolina Beach and we have plans of returning. The place was very spacious and the beds were comfortable. I couldn’t give it 5 stars because the ice maker didn’t work (apparently had been broken but no one said anything about it). The dishwasher was broken as well. Maintenance came out to look at the dishwasher but couldn’t really do anything about it. We use plastic and paperware most of the time anyways. Make sure to bring your own pots and pans because there isn’t to much to choose from. The silverware, if you choose to use it, is very odd shaped!! The floors were not very clean when we arrived and there was still wet laundry in the dryer that had never been turned on!! Vacasa was quick to respond and offered to come back out and do the floors but we had already moved our stuff in. Overall a very nice place just some issues that we had never had to deal with before when renting!

We stayed at the Mack #2 to be close to a wedding venue and also the beach! It was the perfect location to both. I can’t say enough nice things about the house. Everything was clean and ready to go upon our arrival. The outdoor shower was perfect to rinse off after the beach. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and both balconies. We had to reach out to VACASA a couple of times and each time they were quick to respond and very helpful each time! We hope to come stay again in the future to make more memories !

Very walkable to the beach, a few restaurants and ice cream. It was great to bring our dog along and loved the layout of the home.

We loved the layout and family friendliness of the unit

My husband went on this vacation with our little dog. We had invited our children and grandchildren but they couldn’t make it, so it was just the 2 of us with so much room. It was a wonderful trip. The home is beautiful and had a very clean smell to it when we arrived. Loved the back yard for my girl to be let outside without her leash. We could not have ask for a better experience. Thank you Vacasa and thank your cleaning staff.

Me, my wife, and 1 yr old son stayed in Mack 1 for our 3 year anniversary. We booked this listing under the impression a golf cart was included. The reviews mention multiple previous renters utilizing the golf cart and a picture of the golf cart was in the listing pictures when we booked. Upon arrival after picking up glass out of the driveway (it was offered to come clean up and I declined as I had already picked it up because I didn’t want my 1 yr old getting hurt) I inquired about golf cart keys/charging cable. I was told the golf cart wasn’t listed as an amenity for the home. Very disappointing and false advertisement in my opinion as the listing had a blatant picture of golf cart (deleted now), reviews stated previous renters utilized the golf cart, and the golf cart is on the property. We were not offered any compensation for this. Do not be confused by the other reviews, the golf cart IS NOT included with this property. The location is good about 5 blocks from the beach I believe. Decent fenced in area for pets. Outside shower does work. Like other reviews mention, there are a lot of scuffs on walls throughout the house and a coat of good paint would go a long way on this property. As we arrived, we followed the trash truck, evidently the cans for this property were not set out because both were full the entire stay. All furniture seemed ok with exception of the couch which was worn and had slight smell. I’d also recommend adding a grill to property and more pots/pans.

Pro’s: Newer property, very clean, nice furniture. Golf cart was a really great amenity and also the outdoor shower. Con’s: Many stairs that are fairly steep. Also, it would have been nice if some standard items like dishwasher detergent, trash bags, laundry detergent would have been provided. Also, there is not a grill available. Only reason I deducted a star. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend.
