Our beach vacation was August 2-9 2025. We had family visiting from Montana. The house was large enough that everyone had their own space. We cooked at the house for most of our meals and there were adequate appliances and utensils already in the home. We did have a problem with the freezer/refrigerator. It stopped working the first part of the week and our food was starting to melt. I contacted Lori and she quickly sent out someone to check it. When that didn’t work she had someone bring over a replacement refrigerator. She quickly fixed the problem and was very pleasant to work with! It was nice to have chairs and beach toys supplied in the outside closet. The beach was only a block away and it was a great way to wear the kids down before bed. We took them to the beach every evening to play and get all their energy out. We had a wonderful time visiting Fort Fisher aquarium, the battleship, rode the ferry to Southport and spent the day. We even had t-shirts made for Carolina Beach Summer Camp 2025. Great memories were made! Can’t wait for the next beach vacation!

Room for Everyone

We had 11 in our group and the house was perfect! With 4 floors, 6 bedrooms, a pull out couch on the 4th floor, and 5 bathrooms we had plenty of room and didn’t feel cramped. The 2nd floor deck is where we all gathered in the evening and there was lots of room. The kitchen had most of what we needed and it was nice having a Keurig and a regular coffee pot. The walk to the beach was very short. We will definitely stay again!!

Had a great time.

We had a great stay at this beach house. Location is great and Lori supplied tons of beach chairs and other gear. The decor was very nice. The ice maker stopped working, but Lori responded promptly. Overall, a great experience. The one thing that I would have preferred was having linens supplied, but we brought our own and it wasn't an issue.

Extended Family Beach Vacation

This a very nice property close to the beach! It has great decks on every level. The host communicated with us quickly to resolve an issue with the ice maker. We had a great time!!!! The driveway can handle 4 cars but you have to do a lot of maneuvering to get in and out, and there is no street parking.

Perfect Place for Carolina Beach

Enjoyed out stay. We had 5 adults, 5 teenagers, and 1 6 year old. Plenty of comfortable beds and bathrooms. Beach closet is packed with everything you need. No need to bring beach chairs or umbrellas. Clean. Had what we needed in kitchen. Beach is a close walk as well as restaurants. (Side note for anyone traveling to the beach with older parents. Great rentals like this have lots of stairs and multiple levels. Just make sure you rent handicap accessible if you need it.)

Great family reunion

We had a wonderful week. The house was beautiful, and the air conditioning worked great. We brought stuff we didn't need to bring because the house was well stocked with kitchen and bathroom essentials. Between the large dining room table and the 6-person table and chairs on the deck, we had plenty of room for sit-down meals. The storage room had plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, toys for children, and a wagon to bring everything to the beach. The best part of being a block and a half from the beach was the wonderful breeze on the deck where we sat for hours with our relatives. Oh, and it was great to have the outside shower and a hose to rinse off the sand when we returned from the beach.

Good beach spot

We had a good stay. Wasn’t clear it was just half of the house (duplex) from pictures. That meant lots of stairs, so older people or those with issues on stairs need to be aware. Downstairs bedroom is queen but extremely small and one married couple had to stay there, which was tough. Switched with another couple midweek to make it more equitable. Overall it was clean, had good amenities, good water, nice outdoor and indoor seating. Nice kitchen space.

Family get away

Loved the house and how easy it was to get to the beach --house was larger than we thought and having the balconies worked beautifully for us! We had some difficulty keeping our kids off of the neighboring driveway, but they were understanding. The only negative was that the house was not as clean upon arrival as expected: some garbage in the master bedroom, the couch had items left under the cushions, and the sliding doors had black soot in the grooves at the bottom so that if you stepped on it, it transferred to your feet. This was all minor. Overall, we had an excellent stay.

Great location, great host, needs improvement

This is a great location and the host is super responsive. Unfortunately, the house furniture and appliances are outdated/ old. We initially moved the house, but as the weekend went by we found a couple of roaches in some of the rooms. We tried lighting candles but didn’t work. It was just tough to get sleep because every time it was time to go to bed we would find a roach on our bed (king master room.) Couple of our friends had the same issue in their rooms. Other minor things weren’t working, like keurig and dryer.

July 2024

We had a wonderful stay at this home, yet comparing it to other homes we have rented for our family, we gathered a list of improvements that need to be made. Since it was continuously suffocating heat during our week, the air conditioning provided a very welcome and comfortable vacation stay. If it were not so hot, we would have walked more extensively for the location was great. Suggestions for the owners: Front of refrigerator needs to have sn area rug because that particular Frigidaire refrigerator ice and water dispenser ends up in water down the door and ice scattered. The living room area rug needs to be cleaned or replaced. It would be helpful to have bathmats beside tubs. We do suggest the owners put a cement pad in front of the outdoor shower area, for to turn off the spray hose one has to walk where you get dirty again. The microwave did not work all the time. Large serving and mixing bowls along with more spatulas are needed in the kitchen. The sliding door into the bathroom from bedroom next to kitchen gets stuck when locked and trying to unlock. Second floor, middle bathroom door rubs as if the floor heaved up. The door needs to be cut down. The pillows were flat and lumpy; not all bedrooms had lamps, just ceiling lights. The bathroom floors and tubs and toilets could be cleaner. The balcony off the living room had roaches, so we had to buy Raid to make sure they did not come in. That balcony really needs a fan.

Our family has a tradition of Thanksgiving gathering for more than thirty years. We go to different locations each year. This year on Carolina Beach was one of the best. The location, the accommodations, the location, and always, our loving family members made this year a hugh success. We will add Carolina Beach as one of our favorite places.

Great place for a family get away

We had a lovely time at this home! It was close to the beach and within walking distance of many different restaurants and shops. The house was fully stocked with the kitchen equipment we needed (Keurig for those planning their coffee needs). We loved hanging out on the various patios (three different levels!), and it was great for group time as well as down time to read by oneself. Lori was extremely responsive and helpful, and we would definitely stay there again. One thing for renters to make sure they know is that you need to rent your own linens and towels - this was in the description, but it was at the very bottom and we nearly missed it. This is standard in the Wilmington area, but was new to us (and we have been frequent VRBO renters).
