The location is perfect, house was fantastic. We didn't realize how close to the beach it was until we arrived and it was a wonderful bonus. Loved every minute of the trip.

Great home to stay for a week with the entire family! Short walking distance to the beach. Also a great area for riding bikes! The open floor plan is perfect for making sure everyone can be together if they want! The 4 different porches are enjoyable in the early morning and evening hours as well. The neighborhood is quiet and doesn’t have much traffic.I would highly recommend!

Great Location and Excellent House

Wonderful house and very close to the ocean. House was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. We would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Relaxing Family Vacation

The property was beautiful and the house was perfect for family use. Everyone had a wonderful time. Very close to the beach in about a 3-5 minute walk. Availability to other locations (Myrtle Beach, Bald Island, Fort Fisher, Southport) is easy and makes for a great day trip or less. The house feels new and was very clean. The realty company managing the property was great, kept us informed daily, and attentive to all our needs.

A Great Family Getaway! Steps from the beach.

Overall, our stay at Carolina In My Mind was wonderful! The house was clean (aside from a faint smell of smoke when we first arrived which might have been from the past owners). The decor was tasteful, the beds were super comfortable and everything was new and clean. The kitchen was well-stocked with service ware, cups, plates, etc and there were even some supplies left from past guests (EVOO, salt, pepper, sugar) always a nice perk! There was plenty of room for everyone and the reverse floorplan was very convenient. The outdoor shower wasn't working when we arrived but they sent someone right away and it was fixed by the end of the day. We had a few issues throughout the week but the managers were responsive and helpful. The beach is about 400 steps so we were out and back all day long. We had our beach wagon stolen at the beach when we left it by the bike rack (I would suggest keeping everything at your tent) which was unfortunate, but there was one at the house we were able to use. They also had a few beach chairs which we didn't use. They provided a 'started pack' of supplies and there were some items like dish soap and laundry detergent from past guests. The food lion is a 5-minute walk and there is an adorable putt-putt right up the street. Publix is a quick drive and there are plenty of restaurants close by. The beach wasn't overcrowded either. I've stayed at a lot of beach rentals and this one checked all of the boxes. I would definitely stay here again.

Nicely renovated home with poor cleanliness

Vacation was enjoyable in this house after we got over the cleanliness issue(s). Arrived for check in at 4:00PM as we were told, went inside and cleaning crew had not cleaned from previous occupant. Within a couple minutes, multiple cleaning crew pulled in and were there till 5:30PM. As they left, they apologized for the wait, and commented that "someone had a cat and there was hair everywhere". My family ended up cleaning behind the 'cleaning crew"; we vacuumed and wiped down everything right away. We had to run the dishwasher because there were dirty dishes in there, and we found coffee grounds in one of the "clean" cups in the cabinet, along with a dirty salad bowl in the cabinet. Finally, it was very obvious that the bedding had not been washed; multiple stains on the wrinkled comforters in multiple bedrooms, and hairs on pillowcases. We removed the dirty bedding and bought and used our own, including pillows. We did let the rental company know about the bedding issues and the lady was apologetic and had no idea that we came into a dirty house. She said that the cleaning should have been done by 3:30PM before our check-in, and she offered to reimburse us for the bedding if I provide a receipt. Since saving a receipt during all that was not high on my list, I guess I'll have to eat that expense. But all in all, once the house was clean, it was a nice place to stay. However, arriving to a dirty house and having to make a trip to the store for bedding right after arrival was unacceptable and enough to keep us from staying here again.
