We stayed here 11 years ago. The house is neglected. Found a filthy dishwasher which I cleaned. Only 2 dish towels; bought more. Inferior pans & cooking utensils, dull knives. Outdoor showers w/standing water don't drain. Wet spot on upstairs bedroom carpet. Dirty furniture & rugs. Broken drawers in dresser, kitchen cabinets & balcony need fresh coat of paint. Contacted mgmt who fixed 2 toilets, kitchen faucet & microwave so it's in better shape now. Closets are messy, one has a mattress making it unusable. Bring own sheets, extra bath towels, place mats. Positives: good water pressure in master shower, pool, beach toys, chairs, rafts, beach towels, the view, lighting, spaciousness, games in cabinets (had to clean one which was left in a mess), beach access, hose on beach walkway, dishes & glassware.

We had a large group of friends come on this trip and we loved everything about the house! We spent most of our time in the pool or walking to the beach, it was perfect.

The location, private dock to the beach, pool and hot tub were all amazing. The view from inside the house is also incredible. The kitchen is pretty outdated and the living room furniture is pretty old. My biggest complaint is the sheets on the bed were just awful. The cheapest sheets you can buy on Amazon would be 10 times more comfortable than the sheets on the bed. Could use some extra blankets in the house as well.

The house was awesome. We had a blast and the owners were super easy to work with. We were planning to golf ahead of 5pm check in; however, our round was cancelled due to rain and the owners helped us out by allowing us an early check in. Great pool area and located right on the beach. Would definitely book this property again.

Location was perfect. Pool was amazing. Beach was beautiful. House was comfortable. There were plenty of beach chairs but the lightweight ones were dirty/moldy probably from being put away wet and sandy so I would recommend bringing your own beach chairs or just using a beach towel. The umbrellas were in good condition as was everything else. The place had everything we needed. We had a wonderful stay and definitely recommend this place. We plan to come back next year.

We were enjoying our stay until the AC went out on Monday evening. The host sent the maintenance man the next morning but he knew little about AC. The AC tech didn't show up until Thursday. In the mean time we had upstairs temps of 81 degrees and downstairs temps of 77 degrees. We had a few roaches and many ants. The ice maker makes very little ice. Sofa and love seat were very uncomfortable. One of the beds sagged badly. The pull out sofa was not usable. The jets in the hot tub had very low volume.

When we arrived at the beautiful, spacious Carothers Castle, we were enthralled by the views of the ocean from the deck and the changing rainbow-colored lights in the private pool and hot tub. The house was well-designed and modern, perfect for lounging and gathering. Members of our party had room to spread out in the many rooms, with adjoining bathrooms. We loved swimming in the well-maintained salt-chlorine pool and soaking in the hot tub which had a waterfall edge. The kids in our party had fun playing with the pool toys, such as the floating corn hole. We also enjoyed going to the beach every day, where we swam and surfed in the ocean and the kids played in the white sand. Carothers Castle was the perfect vacation home for our North Myrtle Beach family vacation. It was a five-star vacation. Thank you for hosting us.
