The space was a great size and very nice. The sliding glass door wouldn't slide. It needs lubricant or fixed. Otherwise, great space. We really enjoyed our time there but didn't have enough pillows for the amount of people we told them were staying. We would book here again based on how nice the house is and the location. It was a wonderful stay.

This rental is all about location. The rental itself needs a big update. The kitchen is very dated and drawers are falling out. The guest bathroom has obviously had a leak from above so the paint and plaster is molding and hanging down. It was clean enough, but for the price they are putting the $$ amount based on location and not on the state of the rental. The rental company are not easy to get a hold of in person. I could only get contact via their website online chat or by email. Calls and voice messages went unreturned. They also do not align with VRBO policies even when VRBO contact them to help with a problem.

Nice quiet location. Really the only negative was the washer:dryer. We specifically chose a place with a washer and dryer however when we arrived it wasn’t hooked up. Contacted management company twice and no one could come out and hook it up. Otherwise, nice stay.

The furniture on the balcony was beautiful and comfortable to enjoy the beautiful ocean view. The kitchen has all of the cookware and dishes that you need. We all went to the Fort Fisher Aquarium and enjoyed the fact that it was close to the condo. I would be happy to stay again.

Pictures online at the time we rented in April 2022 were older - looks like owners are doing some updates not yet in the pics (walls & wood trim have been painted, new curtains, new stove & microwave, new dishes pots & pans new furniture in the main bedroom & very nice new pieces on the deck). The kitchen was pretty well stocked for cooking gear and there were even some “extras” left behind like trash bags, dish soap, ziplocks & some spices. living room was vey comfy and there is plenty of room for two couples or a small family - and you can’t beat the view or the super easy access to the beach. Few small issues ... there were damp towels in the main bedroom bath ... clearly not even the linen service towels which made me wonder if the cleaning staff missed that room entirely? It looked clean .. but I wiped everything down again myself .. New owners have taken doors off the cabinets on the section between the living space & kitchen and put cute decor in them .. while nice looking it essentially eliminated almost all storage for food items as all other cabinets have dishes in them and there are no shelves in the closets nearby. I moved some stuff around to make do .. but there isn’t a lot of extra room and losing two cabinets for decor makes little sense .. (it makes more sense if you want the “view” opened up to use those open spaces for the new dishes so the cabinets can be used for food) I didn’t go to use it until the evening of our last day (our stay was a mini stay)but the dishwasher didn’t work either .. it cycled through all the lights but no water ever came on. I did report it at checkout though so hopefully it got fixed for the next guest. Overall I would definitely rent this condo again - and would recommend it to others.
