It’s the top 2 floors of a beautiful beach home. Very clean and great location. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, which was wonderful. Top floor king room was awesome! Minute walk to the beach and could view the water from the balconies. Host was very quick to respond to any issue, which was only a quick elevator fix. Pool was a great option in between beach time. Washer and dryer was also a plus. Definitely recommend!

We had an amazing week staying here with our family! The home was the perfect size with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The location couldn’t have been better. It was just a short walk to the beach, making it easy to come and go throughout the day.One of our favorite features was the elevator. It made packing, unpacking, and hauling luggage, groceries, and beach gear so much easier. It was a huge convenience that we appreciated every day.The house was exactly what we were looking for, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book it again. We’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located place for a family beach vacation!

Excellent Trip

Location and amenities are exceptional. When elevator was not coming down upon arrival, property sent someone within 15 minutes to address the issue. The rental offers everything you could need and is a very short walk to the beach. Views are amazing and all bedrooms having their own bath is truly a benefit of this rental. The layout is spacious and very accommodating for all ages. All items are there for a great stay. Highly recommend.

Decent Condo with Tight Parking

Disappointed that the listing stated the condo had a hot tub but it did not. House was comfortable and roomy for our party of 7 people. Beach was very close by with an easy walk! Parking was a bit of a challenge underneath the condo, so we chose to park along the street.

A pearl in the clam shell

We had a fantastic time at the Clam Shell! The house was very clean and comfortable for our three generations to spend time together while each had their own space. There is a full kitchen and multiple covered parking spots and it was only a mile from dining out. The elevator made it very convenient for my 80-year old parents. There were fireworks over the board walk that we watched from the balcony at night and we could see the ocean and the sound during the day. The beach and the ocean were just a short walk away. We had a very relaxing time and will visit again!

Very accommodating beach house

This home is exceptionally clean and very well stocked!! It is very accommodating for large groups! All 4 bedrooms are large and all 4 bathrooms are very nice and roomy! Each bedroom has a tv which is a major plus for families/groups who have kids, teenagers and for those who want to watch something specific all day! The house is beautiful inside and out! Oh yea the elevator is a life saver!! Can’t wait until we are back in Carolina Beach cause we are getting this house again!! And management was easy to communicate with; David was awesome throughout the process!

Had a great week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was perfect in so many ways for my family. The property was clean and in good condition. The location was exactly where we wanted to be. The only bummer was the elevator was not working! A-1 did all they could but the elevator people could not get there in time. I have 4 grandchildren ages 1,23 months, 3 and 4 with 2 expecting women. You know how much stuff they require. A-1 offered to help us lug stuff up. The real issue was my handicapped sister cannot navigate stairs well so once she was inside, she had to basically stay at the property. I could have rented another very similar property without an elevator for almost $1,000 less but decided to pay up for the elevator convenience. Without the elevator, I do not believe my sister would have come. It was quite a blow. But A-1 did all they could.

Hey Wanda: Again, we apologize for the elevator not working during your stay. As soon as you let us know, we contacted Residential Elevator, but unfortunately it took them awhile to come out. We were surprised as it is a brand-new elevator, just installed last year. They replaced a control board, and it is working fine again. You are welcome anytime. David
