WEEK AT THE BEACH
We only had one week to get together as a family this year at the beach. We found this unit and it looked like it would fit our needs perfectly, and it did. We had plenty of room for the eight of us, it was very well kept and maintained, beautiful on the inside, a short walk to the beach and close to the boardwalk. Away from the resort, hotels and a decent location. We would definitely stay there again! Great for a large family!

Nice Family Spot
Quiet neighborhood in late April. Elevator was useful. Kitchen is huge. Ice that there was bottled water provided as Carolina Beach water has an egg smell we weren’t used to. Could have used a few more pillows and don’t forget your beach towels! We really enjoyed the balconies.

Perfect Spot for a Family Vacation
Beautiful home easily accommodated a multi-generational family. Owner communication was top notch. The layout of the kitchen and living space on the upper level was fabulous with bedrooms located downstairs. We found the kitchen was equipped with everything we could have needed; plenty of dishes, silverware, pots, pans, etc. Just a short walk to an uncrowded beach. Plenty of beach gear available in the outdoor closet (a plus). Would definitely stay here again!

Jewel’s Happy Birthday
Family girls’ weekend to celebrate our beautiful Jewel! The home was welcoming and well stocked. We had space to share and spend time together plus the bed/bathroom layout provided a little separation for privacy. The owner was very friendly, responsive and provided great information. We would definitely stay again and have marked as a favorite.

Fabulous "FIND" for a 50th College Reunion get together w/FRIENDS!
This was an EXTRAORDINARY place to stay at Carolina Beach. Every ONE of my friends who joined me on this trip RAVED about the SOUTHERN EXPOSURE!! (We talked about how incredible it was ALL WEEK.) We have nothing but praise for our HOSTS who made the booking process, OUR week long reunion together, and the departure process SIMPLE, EASY, and were so welcoming and knowledgeable!! If we could have given MORE THAN 5 STARS for an OVER ALL RATING FOR EVERYTHING - WE WOULD HAVE!!

We had an awesome time at the beach. The house was great. It was exactly as advertised. It’s located close to everything at Carolina beach but not too close. Access to the beach is very close. Bill was very helpful and communicative. No problems with anything. Will be going back.

Great family vacation at Carolina Beach
Property was exactly as advertised. Property was also the most well stocked VRBO I/we have ever stayed at. It had all the essentials from TP to paper towels to straws and batteries this was not expected and a nice surprise. Location was .9 miles north of boardwalk so close enough to visit but far enough that our section of beach was NEVER crowded. Property had an elevator which helped with our party since my son is handicapped and he really appreciate. Ocean and Canal views were great. Would rent again. Thanks to Kathy and Bill for letting us stay in their home.

Beautiful Home!!!
This property is beautiful and fully stocked. There was nothing we were looking for while cooking or cleaning that this place didn’t have. It’s super clean and beautifully and comfortably decorated. The balconies off all rooms but one were thoroughly enjoyed by all. The beach was in walking distance and lots of other shops, rides, food, ice cream etc were a few minutes away. The owner touched base before and after our stay and went above and beyond recommending places to go for my family and friends. I really can’t say enough good things about this property and the owner. It’s definitely a must stay.

Great location and great views
House was great for families with young children. Easy walk to the beach and the home was stocked with a lot of children's items. Owner was great with communication and even advised us of an upcoming fireworks show we were unaware of. Had a great view of the fireworks from the ocean side balcony. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay!
We absolutely loved our stay! Im going to say it was perfect, and that is no small task as our family has not only a large range of ages but also physical abilities. The views of the sound were beautiful…perfect for enjoying my coffee every morning. The elevator was a life saver for my son with CP as well as bringing in groceries & suitcases. It was a huge bonus to have a wagon & chairs to take to the beach with us as well.
