Our place was very nice. Location was good. Beach was good. Very dirty ocean due to storm first 3/4 days. Cleared up some on Friday and Saturday. Beautiful weather the entire time. Really enjoyed the time there. One problem though, a family of 8 moved in on Friday morning at 3:00. They were very loud. They were loud the entire time I will only rent a one story for one family next time I stay with you. They showed no respect for our family on the 1st level but that’s ok. I learned what to request next time. Thank you

Cute historic house with charm close to the beach was perfect for our family of 6. Only negative would be that if you're in the lower unit, the upper unit can seem a bit loud.

Enjoyed time at the beach. This house was close to beach but in a quieter section of the area. Liked that it was handicapped accessible.
Did have one concern when one of the beds collapsed--but we adapted and vacationed on.

Our family vacation at this place was excellent. The house is across the street from the beach. The house was cleaned and the porch was a plus. The only thing was the walls was too thin for privacy. We could hear other tenants conversations.No need to drive or packed. Everything was closed by as far as shopping and excursions. I will definitely rent that property again

Nice like cottage, enjoyed the stay
Great Lil cottage walking distance to Carolina Beach (to the left). Has a breakfast sandwich take out half a block, good quick morning eats. Would like a little more sound proofing between floors. I was on the bottom floor, which has a nice covered front porch and swing. Plenty of room to have a family sit and eat outside. Would stay again, except we missed our dog. A no pet property.

This was our second year staying in Henson lower and we really enjoy our time there. The unit is very well-maintained, the kitchen is well-equipped, and it's a great spot for a relaxing vacation. Easy walking distance to the beach and generous space for parking behind the unit are also pluses.

Annual family vacation at beach.
815 Carolina Beach Road was a lovely place to stay. It had adequate seating at the table and enough beds for the family. Home was clean and fresh and had everything in the kitchen we needed. Would definitely recommend it. Parking was the best we have had in several years staying at the beach.

The Henson cottage was a perfect vacation home. The cottage was very clean and well maintained. It had all the kitchen utensils you needed to cook with. It has a great location right across the street from the beach access. My family loved having a bit of a backyard to play in as well. The only thing I think the cottage needs is a grill. But other than that perfect!

Cute place and great location!
This worked well for our family of 8. It is not new, but the location was great. There could more detail cleaning done before new arrivals. Had to clean the couch big time. Party going on upstairs most of the day and night, but it is summer!

Reviewer Comments:
This house was in a really good location. There is a public beach access just across the street and a great coffee shop that serves a really great breakfast just one house over. But, when I booked this house I did not realize that there was an upper rental and a lower rental. I apparently rented the lower one. The "guests" upstairs stomped around all night until 1 or 2 AM and played loud music that we could easily hear through the floor. I would not stay at this house again, even on the top floor. Also, the bed mattresses were too stiff and uncomfortable for our liking and the "queen" bed was noticeably smaller than the queen bed that we have at home. We are used to sleeping on stiff beds during vacations but when compounded by the noise upstairs it made for several long sleepless nights.

We stayed with our 9 month old at lower Henson for a week and had guests with a toddler and 9 year old. There was plenty of space, the house had everything we needed and more than we expected as we were worried it would be bare without linens. Amazing open space kitchen and living room, tasteful decor and that old knotty pine made it super cozy. There was plenty of kitchenware and I could tell the owners were family friendly- met them on our way out and they were really great. So fun to be next to a mini mart and good coffee shop and beach access is steps away. The front porch was great for people watching and a little shallow pool for the babies. My only worry would be if you had very noisy upstairs neighbors as you can hear a drone of voices if it is quiet time downstairs. The washer dryer is super convenient in the kitchen area, but a bit noisy.

We stayed in the bottom half of the house, it was our families first true vacation. We were a little unsure what to expect. But the owner of this house blasted all thoughts. You can tell she really cares about her house and making her guests feel at home. She tries to make sure you have as little worries as possible. I was truly touched by all the little things you could tell she had done for her guests!! I would DEFINITELY stay here again!!!!!
