The property was everything that was listed. Very well stocked with everything you could need. The weather was colder than we expected but the pool has an excellent wind break fence so the grandkids were able to have fun without freezing. The owner checked in a few time just to make sure we had everything. I would highly recommend this place and would stay here again.

The house fit our three generational family perfectly. Even though it was Christmas, the weather was warm enough that Melinda turned on the pool heater which everyone enjoyed. The house nicely decorated for Christmas and she even had a basket of ornaments for us to use. Only glitch was the elevator which was very finicky. It added a bit of a challenge to some activities. Worthy of 5 stars if elevator had worked.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location was amazing and the home was absolutely beautiful! I have to say, out of every beach home we’ve ever stayed in, this home had EVERYTHING. From the kitchen being fully stocked, linens/towels, even beach towels, beach chairs, pool toys etc etc, we lacked for nothing! My family and I kept saying, “wow, they literally thought of everything!” Truly, such a great place! We will definitely come back!

Miss It Already!

My family and I took a spring beach vacation together and had a great time at this property. It was as advertised and the hosts were wonderfully kind, responsive and helpful. Everyone was sad to go and we cannot wait to return. We really don’t think there would be a need for a Florida ocean vacation ever again!

About the host

Hosted by Melinda Miller

Host profile image
Glenn and Melinda live in Chesterfield, Virginia. Avid beach lovers, this purchase has been a life-long dream. With three children in their twenties and their first grandchild on the way, they wanted a place for their growing family to come back together and enjoy each other. This purchase began their foray into beach property management through their company Our Places in the Sun, Inc. Their wish is to provide a relaxing and refreshing family vacation experience for other family-oriented renters who value spending time with family and friends through this and other properties on Pleasure Island.

Why they chose this property

Carolina Beach is a great family friendly beach suitable for small children with its extended shallow wave break zone. It is also attractive to surfers due to moderate swells that occur a bit further out. With close proximity to Wilmington, upscale shopping, dining, and historic tours are only 20 minutes away. Locally, Carolina Beach offers Freeman Park where you can drive your 4-wheel drive vehicle onto the beach. Masonboro Island is close by for shell seekers. Fort Fisher is only 10 minutes away - where you can go to the NC Aquarium and the historic battlegrounds. The North Pier is within walking distance of the property. The Boardwalk and Britt's donuts are located approximately 1 mile from this home. Carolina Beach has unique shops, great restaurants, and local scuba diving, jet ski rentals, surfing lessons and fishing tours.

What makes this property unique

Water views are available from almost every window since the front of the home is oceanfront and the back has waterway views which are great for boat watching. 'Our Place in the Sun' is located close to the inlet making dolphin pods swimming close to shore a frequent occurrence. Close proximity to the North Pier and Freeman Park make it an ideal location for those who like to fish, crab, or rake for clams. A private walkway to the beach with an outside hot/cold shower make going back and forth to the beach a breeze.
