Wonderful Weekend at Clam Shell #7

We had an amazing stay at this property. It's the prefect size for a group and very kid friendly. We were only steps from the beach. Given that we stayed during these unknown times, the property was very clean and safe and was a wonderful place to escape to for the weekend. Thank you to the management team for being in communication and quick to respond to any of our questions. We'll definitely look to stay here again when we come back to Carolina Beach!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The code to the lock box was not loaded in the App nor were instructions to the keypad on the front door. But it only took a phone call for the lock box and an email to get front door access. Hiccups happen it is the recovery that counts. Management always responds quickly.

Home away from home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our sixth time staying at clamshell condo. Steps to the beach, pool and elevator to make dragging luggage up to the third floor a breeze and very accessible for the grandparents. Plenty of space for our family of five, in laws and niece and her friend. Large well equipped kitchen was great for nights we wanted to stay in and cook meals. Covered decks made great places to enjoy a cup of coffee with ocean view in the morning or glass of wine at sunset. Dave and family with A1 have always been A+ very responsive if any needs come up and easy to work with. Can’t say enough about this place. We look forward to coming back for years to come!!

An Oasis With Great Customer Service

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful rental and great location! The master bedroom and private porch were an oasis. The property management company was very prompt to respond to any question or concern we had and couldn't have been more helpful when we had to leave a day early with an emergency. We were most appreciative of their help and concern. I would absolutely recommend this rental.

Memorial Day Holiday

Loved the location to the beach!! We truly enjoyed relaxing on the upperstairs balcony and looking at the ocean. A very well equipped kitchen. We were so thankful for that as the restaurants in the area did not have adequate staff and waits for dinner were extremely long, more so than normal. Plenty of space for 6 adults, 2 boys under 5 and a 9 month old. Sufficient parking, and the elevator was so appreciated at check in, check out and grocery trips. The grandsons Loved the pool, and it was so close. Just wanted to mention,, the staircase railing was a bit sticky and could use a cleaning, as could entry doors. A positive experience and a memorable trip.

Great rental!

Clam Shell was a great location for our family wedding weekend. The property was clean, well maintained, clear instructions for everything, close to the beach, with a pool for my girls. Large open space for entertaining. The elevator is a must have for packing/unpacking and for those that can’t do the stairs well - big bonus for us. I appreciated the book with local recommendations of places to go and see. Overall, very happy with the accommodations and would stay again!

The weather was great for February. We enjoyed the porches which allowed us to take advantage of two water views - the canal and the ocean. It was the relaxing experience which was needed after being shut-in for most of the winter. The house was clean, beautiful, with comfortable furniture. The elevator was a great addition. We will be back.

Family Vacation Provided Time with Grands during COVID19

The house suited us perfectly. My husband and I occupied one master bedroom with balcony access. The 4 grands, ages 1 to 7, occupied the room across the hall upstairs. The parents had the two rooms downstairs. It was awesome. We sat on the balcony upstairs after the kiddos had gone to bed and we could still hear if there was a problem. Also the master was very large and filled with the crafts and toys that we brought. So our room frequently became the hangout for everyone. The house is wonderful. Distance to the beach access is great. The surrounding area was not exactly what we have been used to in the past, but since we were social distancing it really was ok.

We don’t have to carry everything up steps ! The top floor has beautiful views of sound and ocean . It has a huge master suite with large balcony with rocking chairs . The second bedroom has a full, 2 twin beds and twin pullout sleep sofa . This room is perfect for the teenage grandchildren . The two upstairs bedrooms has heated tubs ! The downstairs has 2 bedrooms with queen beds that are perfect for myself and my son that doesn’t have children . I could go on and on ... They just added 4 smart TVs this year. The kids love the pool ! This part of beach is perfect for children and families ! It’s not over crowded. Keyless entry door. We’ve rented same house for 4 years ! Most. Likely will be back ‘

The mud room off the elevator made getting my toddler to and from the beach so much easier and the living spaces were so comfortable and spacious. Felt very COVID safe, independent air flow, not crowded beach and when we had an issue with the elevator a property manager came right away and wore a mask.

Nice stay, very nice beach house.

This is a nice 4BR property with ready access to the beach. The kitchen is reasonably equipped, but with very minimal supplies for cooking (e.g. only salt was available). The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and as-advertised. The space overall was nicely laid out and comfortable. I would say the pool was a bit of a disappointment. Because 4 apartments share this common area, it's essentially impossible to socially-distance and have access to this pool. While the owners did put up a sign trying to limit the number of people, the other tenants opted to ignore the rules. The level below this apartment is a 2BR rental property as well. Keep this in mind. We had no problems or issues at all and there was minimal noise (only the patter of kids running around a bit) from them. But don't expect that you're the only ones in the building.
