Awesome experience
Absolutely loved our stay! Great communication from the renters. Traveled with an 11 month old and a 4 year old. Convenient distance to the beach (literally like a minute walk through the yard). Cottage is right on the road but it was still rather quiet at night. When booking, I saw one review that noted the pack n play didn’t fit but if you keep it closed through the bedroom door and open it against the wall, it will fit perfectly. We rented kid equipment from BabyQuip but when we were a day or 2 out from our stay, the communication from the renters indicated there were some items available directly from them that I must have missed when I booked. I’d do that next time! Overall, such a great stay. 10/10 recommend.

Ok small little house
The house is comfortable, is good for a getaway weekend. No ocean view, there is a large property right behind, i think is too close for comfort i have to keep blinds close for privacy. Parking is a little odd but it worked out at the end. Very well pack with kitchen appliances, we didn't find anything else..

Weekend getaway at Carolina Beach
This cozy beach cottage brings back childhood memories of family beach trips in a simpler time. The house is super cute and nicely updated. Upon arrival, it was very clean and inviting. The beds were comfy when resting. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch as well as relaxing in the living room. The most valuable part of this property is the easy private beach access out back! We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and from start to finish, the owners were very attentive and excited to make our stay special. Highly recommended!

Great time
We loved the unit itself and the location. We had a wonderful time. To me the only drawback is there is no cable and therefore you have no access to the news, which I get mainly from television.

Nice Property, Super Staff
The property was well maintained and in a good location. The staff was great. I was given clear and concise instructions for the check in and check out. The property manager gave me a welcome call and provided information about the area as well as accommodating an unplanned extra vehicle. The restaurant guide in the house was very appreciated. We would definitely rent this property again.

Best stay with VRBO ever
This property was perfect in many ways! To start, the owners are beyond the best! They have tons of information about the area ready for you, they give details on all the things to know about the home, and they are so easy to communicate with. The house is stocked with anything you’d need! The home was literally right on the beach! Area where the home is located was so quiet and peaceful! Couldn’t have been more perfect of a long weekend stay! Thank you!
