Graduation celebration 2025

Property was very spacious and had plenty of room for each family to have their own space. Great outdoor space for our family function as well as a sizable living space for cooking and entertaining. Restrooms were strategically placed on each level for great access.

Great for families

Loved the location, quiet neighborhood. Very clean which is important to us. Lots of large towels. Pool with slide and game room were great! Large kitchen table and extra island seating was great.Negatives: outside shower not working, fridge ice maker not working, furniture tired. Given wrong door code and WiFi info. So had to call and wait for a new code.

Disappointing. Sequins and sparkles from a previous party were found around the house. There was only one potholder in the kitchen so ended up using towels for that. Ice maker that had previously noted is still broken. I think we expected something more for the price

Burris Triplets Turn 80

Everything was wonderful for the most part, the beach house was spacious with plenty of room for everyone including the children. We really enjoyed the game room and the salt water pool. The living room and kitchen was open and great for entertainment the only thing that was frowned upon was the ice maker doesn’t work and looking from previous reviews it’s been that way for a couple of years. When we arrived we were told that the grass would be cut but that didn’t happen and the yard really needed to be maintained the grass was really high and we couldn’t really enjoy the entirety of the pool area. Very nice stay and would definitely rent again.

Great house for a large group

We had a large group of extended family gather for a week. The house was the perfect fit for us. We cooked dinner several times in the huge kitchen and found everything we needed. The saltwater pool and the water slide was amazing and we used it every day. There were lots of beach chairs and accessories available for our use in the garage. It was a short walk to the beach and not far from the boardwalk. We didn’t have any issues during our stay. A great time was had by all!

Great house! Great Spot!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great and spacious house perfect for our objective. Accommodate a very large number of people and just a very short walking distance from the beach and the town. Outdoor cleaning between guests was a little lacking.

Making family memories

The house was beautiful, clean, and a short walk to the beach. The backyard was awesome with a private pool with a water slide that the kids just loved. There was a cornhole set that we enjoyed using, a great propane barbecue grill, and even a charcoal grill. The house was well equipped except for a toaster which we would have liked. Also we were unable to adjust the thermostat. It was set on 70 degrees the whole time because it required a PIN number to change it and we didn’t have this information. The ice maker didn’t work either, which we called and reported, but there were lots of ice trays in which to make ice. This is the third beach house that we have rented for our family, and it was by far our favorite. We hope to rent it again in the future.

Great house, great location but could use a few upgrades.

We stayed for a week with 15 people ranging in age from six months to 62 years old. The check in process was easy and the cleaning crew did a great job. The rear yard/pool area was better than described, there is a small deck with seating on each side of the pool, a gas grill and tea lights around the fence and trees. The house is in great shape but could use some upgrades, The water heater seems to be undersized for such a large house making showers in the evening a long and arduous process. The first floor bedroom doesn’t have a closet or wardrobe to hang clothes which really frustrated my wife. The thermostats all seem to default to 75° every couple hours, we contacted the property manager several times, they were very responsive and told us the owner would adjust the thermostats but they still went back to 75° every night, for the price paid you should be able to keep the house at a comfortable temperature. We had a great time and really enjoyed the house but probably wouldn’t rent again unless we had a slightly smaller party.

Great location, Not great accomodations

The home was in a great location, about a block from the beach. There was plenty of room and reasonable accommodations for us. However, as soon as we entered the home, we were meet with two "palmetto bugs" crawling across the kitchen floor. We noticed at night that the AC was locked to 70 deg. F. it did not feel like 70 and made for an uncomfortable night's sleep for us, including the guests we had with asthma and allergies. We notified the management (Turnkey) and they did nothing to resolve those issues. On the day we were to leave, which was supposed the be a late check out at 12pm (we paid an additional $40 for it), the air was turned off in the morning and we had no way of turning it on. So, we were essentially packing up and sweating, as the temperature rose, in order to depart at our set time. We enjoyed our stay regardless because my kids were happy, but we will avoid renting if Turnkey is involved and we will not rent this home again.

This is walking distance to the beach. None of us had any complaints and all wished we could have stayed longer.

Excellent beach house getaway

Great experience at this property! Great location in Carolina Beach and fit our group of 11 people very well! We rented a gas golf cart during the week (the garage has several outlets so you could get an electric one if you wanted). Management team was responsive when needed. Kitchen has plenty of dishes, pans, etc (we brought our own Keurig). There were a bunch of towels and beach towels available in the laundry room. The pool was AMAZING…had a blast in there! The kids loved the slide and the patio space was nice at night (the outdoor lights and water on the pool slide are time activated). The rec room located on the main floor was also nice (you have to go through this space to get to the pool)…just be careful with the 1/2 bath as the toilet clogs easily. Would definitely stay at the property again…can’t beat the location and the pool!
