The property was in excellent condition and accommodated all 14 of us easily. Close enough to the boardwalk and beach, yet far enough away to enjoy quiet time. The Thursday night fireworks were very enjoyable. Also found nany neat shops.

My family and I made more happy memories during our third stay. The location, the house, and plenty of space were perfect. By renting a golf cart, we had easy access to the boardwalk, shops, entertainment, and the beach. Thanks, Ruth! Looking forward to future visits!!

The house was beautiful and close to the boardwalk. We really enjoyed the large deck out back after a long day at the beach. We grilled out and had a family cornhole championship with the provided boards. Debi was very reaponsive and kind. We would love to stay here again!

Right on the corner and less than a half mile walk to the beach. Small enough from a family yet big enough for 9/10 men to share their own place to lay their head. A few very minor issues. (1) The dishwasher, I couldn't get it to start. Later one of the guys finally got it to work. (2) The cleaning people forget to cleanout the coffee pot and AC vent (3) The window in a the upstairs room to the right needs some TLC. Overall, I would stay there again. My group enjoyed the place as well. My rating is 4.6 out of 5.

Great location, near beach, arcade, food, bars, second time renting this place. Had everything that you need except the washing machine was broken so had to use a laundromat (new one had been ordered). Everyone said they would like to rent it next year.

This is the second summer we have stayed at “Carolina Dreaming.” It is a fantastic property that is located in a nice neighborhood, but the beach is close by. We rented a golf cart which gave us easy and quick access the beach, boardwalk, and shops. The four bathrooms, outside shower, and multiple bedrooms met our needs perfectly. The house is very well equipped for a happy stay. The owner and property manager are friendly and responsive. I highly recommend this beach house if you want to make special memories!!!

The house is much more roomy than the photos show. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen is the best stocked of all the homes I've rented. Local help was available if we needed, which we did not need. Neighborhood was nice and friendly. Close to eateries, bars, ice cream, board walk, amusement park, and best of all, the beach. I'm 72 and could walk everywhere in 20 minutes. We plan on booking for next year as soon as we as we check everyones calenders. BEST PLACE EVER!
