We like the location. Love this beach. The house was not very clean. There was mouse droppings on one of the beds. We had to wash all of the blankets. The floors where sandy and so was the couch.

We loved the location of the house. It was at the very end of the island on a dead end street. It was very private and just a short walk to the beach access. Lots of parking at the house and the outdoor shower was nice especially because of how sandy everything gets. The kitchen table seats 6 so if you have 10, it would be very tight. The house itself was very messy when we got there though. The kitchen items weren’t cleaned (things like the stove and pans were dirty and needed cleaning before use) there was sand on the ground and overall the house was very “worn.” The interior Siding is coming off the walls, the floors were sinking in and soft, boards on the porch felt unsafe for our toddler to be on, door hinges were broken, the couch was stained. I understand this is a beach house, but it was much dirtier than we had hoped for. It has so much potential, but really needs some TLC. One thing that should be noted, is that the house comes with no basic amenities. You have to bring your own towels, toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen dish towels, dish washing soap (even though they require you to wash the dishes) laundry detergent, and even bed sheets, which I felt was really strange and not well highlighted in the listing until you got check in/ instructions.

The house was clean, well appointed, and in the condition advertised. The view of the ocean from the front porch is spectacular, and the beach access is less than 100 yards away. Having access to beach chairs was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pots, pans, and utensils we needed. The only negative was the pavement under the house was covered in a half-inch (more in some places) of sand from Hurricane Betty, as we arrived a couple of days after she passed through, but obviously, that isn't the owner's fault. It took me a couple of hours with a shovel to clear the sand downstairs, which I didn't want to do on vacation, but the cold beer afterwards was might tasty!

We loved our stay at Sweet Carolina this past week. The location can’t be beat with practically ocean front views and a short walk to the beach. The cottage offered everything we needed, and was comfortable. There were a few things in need of simple repair but nothing that affected our stay negatively. Would happily stay again!

House was everything it was advertised to be, was are second time staying there and we have booked it again.

The view at Sweet Carolina Cottage is spectacular. The house feels spacious and airy, it was very clean. We had a wonderful time, would stay there again!

House was an older home. Paneling was coming loose in some areas, but overall the house was clean and nicely decorated with beach vibes. Great floor plan for our family of 5 adults and 5 kids. Loft over the kitchen area is open to the living area and was especially enjoyed by the kids. I was naive to think we could walk directly across the street to the beach because the description mentioned the nearby public beach accesses. There is a house directly in front of this house which blocks the ocean view, but the lot to the right is vacant and there are no houses to the left, so we did enjoy ocean views. One of my favorite pass times was sitting in the rockers on the front porch. Overall, my family and I had a great time.

Beautiful ocean view. We enjoyed the clean house with cold air conditioning, a short walk to the beach with easy access (no steps), and a nice quiet street.
