Stayed from Monday to Friday and we had a great time! The house was spacious and in a convenient location to the beach, boardwalk, and restaurants. The host was very responsive in preparing for our trip. Definitely recommend and would stay again in the future!
Fantastic house with great location. We enjoyed our stay with plenty of room and a well stocked kitchen. Easy walking access to local fare and immediate drive access in either direction. The owner was very easy to communicate with throughout. Would absolutely stay here again.
House was perfect for our large family group. I love that we could easily walk to the beach. Communication was easy along with checking in and out. Great stay.
What a great place to stay. Perfect location if you want to stay out of the hectic beach front traffic. The hosts are amazing. We will be back next year.
We had four families use this house during a baseball tournament in Wilmington. Easy walk to the boardwalk and the beach, excellent home with plenty of space for everyone. Would certainly stay here again.
Wonderful place to stay! We had a large group of people with many ages and the way the rooms were set up was great! Easy to walk to the Boardwalk and shops! Would stay here again.
This is the best house so far we have stayed in in Carolina Beach. It is very pretty, was exceedingly clean and has lots of space. It is only a few minute-walk to the Boardwalk but the street is still quiet. We rented bikes and my children could get anywhere with bikes easily. There are lots of bike trails in Carolina Beach. There is also a small grocery store only 5 minutes away walking. You can walk down to the usual Thursday fireworks or just watch it from the house. Ruth and Debi were great! They are very nice and very responsive. Debi found my daughter’s engagement ring in the house and let us know right away. We really appreciate such great and conscientious hosts. Hope to come back next year!
House was clean and had everything we needed! Plenty of room for multiple guests and host was always available and flexible with check in and check out! Great stay !
We had a great time and enjoyed the home. It was accommodating and had access to everything we needed and wanted to explore. The distance from the beach was ideal it made for easy travel. Thank you we loved our time there and hope to get another opportunity to stay soon.
It was a fantastic place to stay. It was very clean, neat and roomy. Short walk down sidewalk to the boardwalk/beach, wonderful eating places, and great Celtic Ice Cream Parlor.
The property was in excellent condition and accommodated all 14 of us easily. Close enough to the boardwalk and beach, yet far enough away to enjoy quiet time. The Thursday night fireworks were very enjoyable. Also found nany neat shops.
We absolutely loved the place it was very clean and super easy to communicate with the host. Perfect location as well because it was in walking distance from the beach and all restaurants!
