What a great place to stay at Carolina Beach. The house was perfect. Very accommodating, plenty of beach chairs and toys to take to the beach. The owners were great with communication and provide a warm and welcoming home. We were in walking distance to the boardwalk, great restaurants, and shops. Loved the view from the balcony and the pool was perfect for the kiddos.

We had a great experience in this wonderful place! It was by far the best stocked place with super nice chairs, a wagon, and beach toys—all the things that take up too much space in the car! We were across the street from the beach and walking distance to downtown. When our AC went out, the owner came with the HVAC worker first thing in the morning to make sure it was working properly and gave us a gift for having to deal with it, even though it was no one’s fault. Such nice people! This house was stocked with kid items, which is always nice! Thanks for the great stay!

The condo is well stocked with chairs for the beach, bikes and a bunch of other items that we didn’t have to haul there which was nice. The owners are great and this was the second time booking this home. It’s in a great spot, super easy walking to the beach and to the boardwalk.

Perfect place

Perfect place for family vacation with kids (and dog :)) clean, cozy, and has everything we needed and even more. I was really amazed by all little touches and how thoughtful the hosts are. Great communication too. Also, super easy acess to the beach, litterally less than a minute.First time in my life throughout the vacation I never had a single thought that something is missing or "it would be nice if ...". Everything was just like it should be. Great Thanks to the hosts.

Family Get Away

A great family get away! Pack your bags and go. Everything you need is waiting at the house! Beach toys, chairs, towels, buggy to pack it all to the beach! Outside grill, bicycles, and pool. We enjoyed the local eateries and loved that the boardwalk was a few blocks away. Definitely close enough to walk if you choose to. We had a great time and hope to visit again.

Cute spot so close to all the best parts of Carolina Beach!

We really enjoyed our stay in Carolina Beach at The Seahorse Paddock. The hosts were really friendly and welcoming, providing excellent directions and recommendations for us. It took just a few minutes to be at the water, or at the carnival/boardwalk, or at a cute little spot for morning coffee. The area was bustling and fun but quiet at night. The townhouse had everything we needed to head to the beach, make family dinners, and feel comfy and relaxed. 10/10, highly recommend!

Perfecr Spring Break Getaway

This was the perfect place for our family to spend spring break. The location is steps from the beach with an ocean view from the patio. The neighborhood was very quiet and walkable to all the shops, restaurants, and attractions. The home is fully stocked with everything you need for your vacation. From bikes to beach chairs, pool toys, and beach towels. This place has it all! You need only to pack your clothes and reserve this perfect home for your vacation. Enjoy making beautiful memories with those you love most pack your clothes and ma make

Amazing all around!

First beach week in 20 years that we didn't need to bring all the gear, which really got us into the beach vibe easy. Property provided all linens, towels, even beach towels, and all the beach toys we needed...boogie boards, chairs, and a wagon to tote it all. few bikes were provided and we used pleasure island realty to get few more (highly recommend the fat tires). House was clean and the owners were super helpful and courteous anytime we needed anything, even checking on us before/after a brief storm. All around a great place and location, off the boardwalk but close enough to get there when you want to. Great place!

Overall wonderful & great location! Pet friendly & even had a dog gift basket! This place had absolutely everything you could need for the beach including bikes & a cooler. It got hot upstairs at night & we couldnt figure out why or how to fix it. Not sure if it is because we went late in the season or what but there were some bugs that came out at night.

Hello! Thank you for the nice words! happy to hear that you enjoyed the little extras and the little gift basket, pups are part of the family too! We are exceptionally responsive and always happy to help, if it gets hot upstairs, feel free to ask. There’s vents that can be opened as needed and I am more than happy to help guide you through using those. As for the critters, unfortunately, that happens when you are second row at the beach. We spray approximately every 30 days using safe chemicals for pets and humans, but unfortunately, some still get past us.

House was very clean, stocked with ample amenities, and ready for our arrival. Host always communicated promptly, offered lots of suggestions for local restaurants and activities plus detailed check-in instructions.The house was as described, about a minute walk to the beach, located in a quiet area and about 7 minute walk to boardwalk area. We had no problems, loved the decor and enjoyed a quiet relaxing stay. The large blacony was so nice to watch morning sunrises. There were bicycles on premise for us to use. My husband did ride when it was warm. The grandkids liked the variety of games they found. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing Easter Beach Weekend!

Kyle and Sam were awesome hosts and kept in great contact to ensure we were all checked in/out easily. They also gave great tips on things to do and places to eat. The property is in a great location that made it easy to walk to the beach, restaurants, and boardwalk (and this is with TWO toddlers!) We visited the Fort Fisher Aquarium, which was also a super easy drive. While the area is pretty busy, it does stay pretty quiet and night and we noticed our side of the beach wasn’t as crowded as places near the boardwalk/hotels. We were able to easily find a good spot coming off the beach access for our beach tent and chairs each day. VERY convenient given we had a two wagons — one for beach gear and one toting the kids. The dogs also loved the early morning walks on the beach! Home was super clean and had everything we could ask for, especially for a family with 2 little ones. This is probably the LEAST we ever had to pack for a trip since they had everything at the home. Thank you for an amazing stay! HIGHLY recommend this place!

Everything was so perfect! The home was thoughtfully prepared to allow ultimate relaxation! Utensils and kitchen appliances were good quality! Knives sharp, electric tea kettle a welcome surprise, high quality everything made cooking a joy. We cook all our meals in due to allergies so this is a big deal! The towels were soft and high quality. The decor was so beautiful. The porch is a delight to sit on and the games were fun! Kids loved having a pool to use. We loved walking to the beach many times each day for walking, swimming or shell collecting. Walking to the boardwalk and shops was also fun! It was nice to be in the middle of everything and still feel so cozy!
