Pros of property- Location! Literally 3 min walk to beach and walkable to all downtown restaurants, bars, etc. Ample parking. Quiet street. Ample room for kids in the bunk room with attached bathroom. Balcony off livingroom and balcony off master bedroom are nice. Bathrooms were clean, bedding was clean. Cons of property- first impressions are everything- when you enter the house from the patio you are looking at stairs that have some bare treads and some with carpet padding still on them- the carpet is rolled up and thrown in the alcove with the beach items. Beach bicycles are encrusted with dust and cobwebs-broken chains, flat tires (listing shows new bikes) kitchen was not clean-microwave was dirty inside, dirty dishes in the dishwasher, kitchen sink had not been scoured in a long time, bed in master bedroom was sitting up on 2X6 pieces of wood. Biggest disappointment-patio area- bar area was unusable-totes, old carpet cleaner, old cans of bug spray stacked behind the bar, refrigerator that does not work was in patio area (was not strapped shut-safety hazard), grass in the back (listing says garden?) was uncut and appeared to have not been cut at all this season, leaves and debris in all corners, firepit that was rusted through lay on its side, old charcoal bbq sat in one alcove, various extra items were stacked against the fence (extra boards, old grills grates) and place needs to be sprayed for pests-I get it- its the south but you can spray or have an exterminator.

This home accommodated our large group but it was a tight squeeze a. It was in a great location with easy access to the beach, we walked to & from even with our smaller children without issue which was nice. We had trouble with delayed responses from the host at times which typically is no big deal but when the AC stopped working on our last evening it didn’t make for the best ending to our family vacation. Overall it was a good experience & we’ll be back Carolina Beach for sure, it’s the perfect location for families that want calm & relaxing!

The house had a great location, easy walk to the beach to trek allllll the things kids need, the provided wagon was a huge help. The dead end street also great to allow kids to get some energy out. The beach cruisers are not usable, but not needed to get to the beach. Overall a great family vacation!

The pictures do not do this property justice - it's awesome! Not only is it a beautiful home but the easy access to the beach, an ice cream shop right around the corner and a Tiki Bar you can walk to, make it a great vacation rental! To get to the aquarium and Fort Fisher took all of 15 minutes and getting in and out of Wilmington is so easy and took maybe 25 minutes! Definitely one of our very favorite rentals!

Great place to stay.

Great location on cul-de-sac. Quiet. Short walk to beach. Sit on either porch (main floor or off master bedroom) to enjoy sunrise, sunset or looking at stars. Peaceful way to start the day. Home was very spacious and tastefully decorated. We are hoping to come back!

This house worked well for our family of 13. We really enjoyed that it was a short walk to the beach, especially with 7 kids. However, because we had 7 kids we were expecting to use the trundle bed that was listed in the kids room. Unfortunately, it wasn’t there. I reached out to the owner but never heard back from them. The bikes are definitely unusable as one of our family members had to walk it home, even after working on it before they left. We would stay here again but just be aware the kids room only sleeps 6.

Lots of room, great place to stay! We enjoyed it very much!!
