House was in the perfect spot, close to beach. Amazing views of sunrise and sunset.

House was fairly clean. Bedding was wonderful. Many ceiling lights were out. Exhaust fan in 2nd floor bath didn't work. Looked great but most furniture was very very old and at end of useful life. VRBO listing said enjoy wildlife viewing from pier. There is no pier. This was not due to a recent storm event. We would have liked to have been able to put in kayaks as planned. Almost every house up and down coast has a pier. Pictures showed a pier at this house. This house only has collapsed pilings where a pier might have been years ago. Also cable tv was not provided as advertised. It was only antenna tv. Mostly 1960's old tv series shows like Bonanza and Hawaii 50. Was told internet was via hot spot from cell phone. We had AT&T, Verizon and t mobile phones and no joy. This house needs to be brought up to date from 1980's.

We were there for 10 days and the house was great! It had plenty of space and absolutely everything that we needed. The location was perfect. The view from the house, of the inter-coastal, was so pretty. The ocean was just 3 minutes away. We loved the board games :-) We couldn't have had a better time.

Going on vacation during a Pandemic with an active hurricane watch for the area could have ended badly but my friends and I are adventurous and Mary was so communicative putting us at ease so we headed to this delightful property despite the possibility that we might have to evacuate part way through the week. Mary generously allowed us to check in early and stayed in touch throughout the week whenever I had questions. When we noticed that the air conditioning downstairs wasn't very cold it was fixed after one quick phone call. Someone came right over right away. We lost power in the hurricane but it was back on within a few hours. We loved the decks for watching sunsets, birds, jumping fish and even stormy weather! There was plenty of outdoor deck furniture including a table with benches and lots of rocking chairs. One guy caught some shrimp in the Sound with a net and cooked them up for us! This place would be terrific for anyone who loves to fish! Bring water shoes if you want to swim in the sound as it is rocky. It was a short walk across the street to reach a beautiful, uncrowded beach. There is a place right down the street to rent Kayaks, Paddle boards etc. The beds were comfortable, the house was very clean, the kitchen was well equip with everything from coffee filters, foil and paper products to cooking utensils, bowls, plates, mugs and pots etc. We managed with four people bringing in groceries to make it work with everyone's special diets. There are many restaurants within a short drive to choose from and we did eat out for most dinners. The enclosed outdoor shower was terrific when we came back from the beach, nice hot water! I have stayed at many rental homes and this one gets an A+ for views, nature, comfort and outdoor space!

The house was clean, comfy beds, with easy access to the beach across the street. We met a fantastic neighbor, Steve, who was extremely helpful. There were many positives about the house but also a some negatives. The house is marketed to sleep 8-10 people however there is no where for a family larger than 4 to eat a meal. The kitchen table seats 4, there are counter stools but no overhang to sit at the counter. There is a huge, beautiful covered deck facing the water that would be perfect for a table/chairs set. We traveled 12+ hours to get there so asked if they provided beach chairs, there were only 3 cheap, functional chairs; No Grilling utensils; Ice maker didn't work;1 garbage can, No recycling, No wine glasses, No Internet. Overall we had a great time because we had other family members that rented 4 other houses in the immediate area. In my opinion, the things I mentioned as negatives should be standard in a beach rental.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean and very comfortable. We loved the 3rd floor perch where we could see both the ocean and the sound. We especially enjoyed the huge back porch right overlooking the sound, where we had our morning coffee and the teens played card games.

Loved this spot because the area was quiet and the house was close to the beach. The views from the house were wonderful and the top level and back porch were a favorite hang out spot for my family. The accommodations of the house were great. Comfy beds, enough extra linens and towels when needed. Be cautious of the area leading to the sound. There are some plants that had thorny balls, kind of like small briars, so I'd watch out for those when walking around the area. Overall, the place is great and the owners were very prompt with communication.

Perfect location!! The views were stunning!! There were some minor cosmetic things that needed attention - and a TON of poison ivy in the yard/bushes. But overall the house was wonderful. The beds were amazingly comfy. It was very well stocked and the owner responded to our questions very quickly! I definitely recommend this house for your family vacation!

The house location on the sound and across the street from the beach was perfect. Everyone was thrilled with the views. The house itself is in need of repairs but it didn't distract from our enjoyment. I would suggest removing the junk from many of the cupboards so that the renters have space to place their food. We were blessed with perfect weather which greatly added to our enjoyment.

We enjoyed the size and location of the house! A few things noted and would make the house even better is if the pier was fixed as well as we observed the electricity on the very top floor was not working!! Great for the price!!

Plenty of room for the whole family

Overall enjoyed our stay at the CShore rental. The interior was well laid out and maintained, with plenty of linens and dishes. The wrap around deck was a big plus, and the upstairs deck view was very nice. Atlantic beach access was very close, just a short walk across the street. The property exterior has not been well maintained, and the deck could certainly use some work. Overall though it was a good value for a family style stay. The area is family friendly.

We stayed at Cshore with our 2 adult children and their spouses. The house had plenty of room and included interesting spaces for us to each get off to ourselves or gather together. We enjoyed the peaceful back porch for breakfasts and the great views of both the Sound and the Ocean from the cupola and upper deck. We brought several games, but found there were several in the house already. The huge flat-screen TV was an unexpected treat! The house was very clean, the kitchen was well-supplied, there were plenty of towels and linens, and we even found some beach chairs we could take to the beach just a short distance away. In early June there weren't many people on the beach, and we spent some time each day swimming and beach coming (lots of pretty shells!). The outdoor shower was a big plus - clean and plenty of hot water. It was also great being so close to the bike path as we were able to rent bikes and ride for about 17 miles one day! There were a few very small issues which didn't bother our stay but which I notified the owner about. I'm sure Mary will take care of them as she was very responsive both before and during our stay. Everyone in the family said this is the best vrbo property I have ever rented! We highly recommend it!

Some aspects were not ideal. The shower for rinsing off from the beach was not working right, but there was a spigot that we used. As mentioned before by other reviews, the dining arrangement is not as comfortable as most places we have rented. Otherwise the house served well as a base for enjoying the Crystal Coast of North Carolina. The wrap around porch was especially nice on the rainy days. There were more than adequate linens, the kitchen was functional, and there were no safety or health issues. Not luxurious but functional would be my summary.

We loved staying at CShore Beach Home. The views from the wrap around decks are incredible and you can see both amazing sunrises and sunsets from the back deck. We spent our mornings drinking coffee and reading on the "crows nest deck" on the third floor. It was an easy walk to the beach just by crossing the street and we spent most of our time there. The house was very clean and comfortable and the kitchen adequate. The ice maker on the fridge was broken- hopefully that will be fixed soon. The beds are advertised on VRBO as being queens, but my husband was sure they were only doubles. They did seem smaller than a queen, so that was our only negative. Will definitely return to this house- loved the sound view so much!

We had a great visit to this property. The setting is lovely - having the wide expanse of the large deck overlooking the sound was excellent! The bedrooms were nice sized and we found everything we needed. The picture of the backside of the property is a bit deceiving as there is no functional dock to this house (it looks like there is), which is a shame, and would really would have added value to our stay. The kitchen is tiny for 10--the "seats 10" is a bit of an exaggeration as 6 of those are bar stools placed in front of a peninsula that is not meant for eating. The kitchen amenities while functional were in a bit of disarray. Otherwise, a great value and a great location!

Wonderful location with bay on home property and ocean across the street. Home was impeccably clean and comfy. Would like to have been able to use the dock. Neighbors were friendly and quiet. We are looking forward to returning again. We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing and fun vacation.

Overall the stay was nice. There are a few things around the house that could use some repairs due to age, and the dock was unusable (though we knew this going in from the pictures). However, none of the things really affected the enjoyment of our stay. Cold AC throughout the house, and great views from the 3rd story and the back deck. Great home!

We had a wonderful stay. Six days five nights. Easy access to the beach by foot or car. All kinds of places to spend exploring close by. We had ages 4 to 78 and all of us had a great time.
