Family Affair

This was a good find. The cottage was clean and had two sizable bedrooms with two bathrooms (which is a must for parents with an 18 year-old son). Excellent location. Very close to the beach and walkable to Carolina Beach restaurants. Pretty well equipped kitchen. Just enough space to spread out.

Great little house!

Great house in a great location! Large yard we used for family games & patio area for gathering/chatting. Very short walk to the beach, which was perfect. Delaine & Larry were very helpful & responded quickly to any questions. Ate at Michaels & The Tikki bar, both had good food & Service. Played miniature golf at Shipwreck Neon miniature golf, which was fun on a rainy day. Perfect place to stay!

Excellent - would stay again

Layout of home and location were superb. Communication with homeowners was prompt and courteous. Very clean, we had everything we needed. Adequate toilet paper and paper towels, dish soap, laundry detergent, towels; plenty of parking; outdoor space and seating was great - we ate at the picnic table in the shade each evening; grill was nice addition to space. Outdoor hose and shower at the back door helped with cleanliness. Air conditioner was excellent -even at a 72 degree setting, it was plenty cool.

Great location

The Sea Shack was in an excellent location. The beach is right across the street, short walk to the beach. All one level, nice backyard and plenty of parking. The kitchen has plenty of pots/pans, plates utensils etc and plenty of towels/washcloths for bathing. The pictures match the property. The owners are very responsive. The only thing I would recommend is having an additional key in the lockbox or add a code lock so when others aren’t coming back to the house at the same time it would be nice to have an extra key to give them or they could use a code. Overall great property and I would definitely stay again!

Ocean

If you're going to the beech, this is great; its right across the street. Check in at 4pm seems a bit late for a check in but otherwise pretty smooth process. outdoor shower on property to rinse the sand and salt off before coming in the house. Location is a bit away from amenities; nothing is really walking distance besides the beech. So you do need to drive to even the boardwalk. Most food options are not healthy or super kid friendly so if you have little kids you may have to just make food, which is what we did and just made a couple trips to the grocery store to stock up. Fortunately there is a full kitchen with dish washer and a clothes washer/dryer so the comforts of home are present and convenient. so all in all a great place if your only goals are to hit the beech and relax.

Clean, great location, vintage cottage

Very clean and well stocked cottage with super easy access to beach. The walk to beach was closer than some of our previous beach front houses. Twin and queen beds were comfortable. Loved the outdoor shower. First time at Carolina beach and we found it fun and entertaining with good surfing waves.

Sea shack

We had a great time on our family vacation at the Sea Shack. The house has a great location, easy to walk back and forth from the beach when needed. The decor is also very cute. The yard area was very nice to hang out in and for kids to run around in. We never needed to contact anyone during our stay but the info from Delaine before check in was very helpful and check in/out was so easy. The house was as the listing described and had all the amenities we needed during our stay. I did give 4 stars because there were a few things that could be improved. The house is kept at 80 degrees between guests and it took a very long time for the AC to cool it down to a comfortable temperature. It was not able to reach the temperature we needed until night time, so the whole first day of our stay was hot. There was also a lot of old grease on the shelves in the kitchen so the cleanliness there could be better. The appliances, dishes, counters were clean though. The bedroom with the king bed has water damage on the wall. It would also be nice for each bedroom to have a dresser for easier clothes storage. The queen bedroom has a dresser but no closet and the other 2 rooms have a closet but no dresser. I would stay here again and the positives of the house definitely are more than the negatives. We really enjoyed the Sea Shack and Carolina Beach.

About the host

Hosted by Delaine and Larry Parker

Hi! We are Delaine and Larry. Upon retirement, we immediately moved to Carolina Beach, where we had vacationed extensively throughout our 47 years of marriage! Life on Pleasure Island is truly a dream come true. Everyday is an adventure, with plenty of walking the beach, biking the entire island, pier and shore fishing, visiting the aquarium, riding the ferry to Southport, Jeep riding on the south end of Ft. Fisher - the fun never ends! And last but definitely not least, entertaining our 6 grandkids on the shore.

WHEW! Come join us for relaxation and fun. Forget to mention - enjoying the absolutely best seafood around. Life at Carolina Beach is AWESOME!

Why they chose this property

Beautiful, clean newly updated Home. Never smoked in and no pets, right across the street from the beach.
We are conveniently located between the Carolina Beach Boardwalk and Kure Beach Pier. Its a short drive or bike ride away. We personally ride our beach cruisers everywhere around the island.
