Great place. Tight parking but open the garage to put a car in there and plenty of room.

The condo was as described in the listing. Excellent location, easy access to the beach and lovely views from all three porches. Our family had a wonderful time and would stay here again. Could stand a few upgrades, fresh paint, new carpet and newer furniture but these things didn’t detract from our experience, as we come to the beach for the beach!

Thank you for the thoughtful review. We're glad to hear your family had a wonderful time at our beach condo and that the location and views were excellent. Your feedback about potential upgrades is appreciate. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
The location is great. Walking distance to so many things. Price is comparable for the area. We truly enjoyed our time. They only thing I would say is the unit could use a little sprucing up but we would definitely stay there again.

If you are on the fence about booking this property, DO IT! The views from all three balconies are breath taking. The condo itself is outdated and the furniture is old but the view more than makes up for that. It is right on the beach and walking distance to restaurants. My family and I will definitely be coming back next year!

Thank you for your detailed review of the property. We appreciate your positive feedback on the stunning views and convenient location. While the condo may be a bit dated, it's great to hear that the incredible vistas made up for it. We're delighted to know that you and your family enjoyed your stay and plan to return next year. Your recommendation is invaluable, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
This is the 2nd time I have stayed at this condo with family so that in itself speaks volumes. It is the perfect location on Carolina Beach, easy walk to the downtown area for restaurants and entertainment. The condo is roomy and comfortable for a family or multiple couples, wonderful views of the beach. I found it to be in pretty much the same condition as my last visit, however balcony furniture has been renewed, curtains seemed new so much better. Still has older furniture, TVs, cabinets, flooring etc. but that is fine by me and reflected in the rate. Parking for 1 mid size and 1 full size vehicle. Overall a very enjoyable and comfortable stay, have really come to like Carolina Beach and this is the perfect place to stay for me.

OK location, but clearly needs a deep cleaning and major updates.
We recently stayed at this property, and while its location is great—ideal for teens and adults who are able to walk a distance, it falls short in cleanliness and upkeep. For older family members, a car is essential for getting around. But there is no free parking anywhere except for restaurants. The beach access is excellent, which was a plus. The cleanliness was disappointing. The carpets, walls, and furniture were dirty and worn and felt sticky, with chipped paint, holes, and cracks in the walls. Showers had chipped paint and one had mold. Despite the nice layout of the place, it desperately needs a deep cleaning and updates. Until improvements are made, I won't be returning.

Location was perfect! Access to beach right there and fairly close to the Boardwalk. Other reviews were accurate regarding the condo itself. Very dated! Needs a major renovation. Bathrooms were very small. 2nd bedroom bathroom was dirty. Walls going up into the condo and the upstairs bedroom were dirty and scuffed up bad. Light bulbs need replaced. Did not find the garage remote until we were leaving. It would’ve been nice if it was left out. Our vehicle was a truck so no other car could fit. I stayed in the same building last year but a different unit. Two totally different vibes. Sad to say I was a little disappointed this year.

As in previous reviews the house was a little run down but that didn’t bother us because we felt more comfortable and at home. It was clean. We can’t say enough great things about the location! The garage actually has a door that opens into the sand. The beach access is just at the end of the building, less than 100 steps. Easy walk to the boardwalk and night life! We loved this area and this property! We would definitely stay here again!

Location is great, close to the boardwalk, lake, and restaurants. Parking in town is expensive, you walk to most places.
One note is that the property photos do not accurately represent the condition of the property. Mostly cosmetic issues.

Clean enough and perfect location. The decks are wonderful and the beds are great. Definitely needs updates and some TLC. The kitchen and full baths need to be gutted and totally redone. The couch sags. I also didn't understand why I had to stop the realty office to pick up check in materials. I'd definitely come back, though.

Four adults and one child stayed in spacious Templeton at the beginning of the summer. The location and the building were very quiet. Everything we needed was in the home. We had a few issues with the bedding on the first night but Bryant took care of it for the linen supplier the very next morning. We hope to stay in or near Templeton again.

We loved that it was oceanfront and it had enough room for our family. A deep cleaning would have been nice. I spent the first day cleaning it myself and Maintenance had to come in to clean the dishwasher which was moldy/mildewy. It could use some updating.

Cyndy, Thank you for your feedback! We are glad that you enjoyed the property. Deep cleanings are typically scheduled during the fall and spring seasons as during the summer, it is impossible with back to back reservations. Had we been notified, we would have been happy to send a cleaner to re-clean the property during your stay.
First, I have a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan and it fit exactly in the garage with my windows folded in and a couple inches to spare, so if you want to know if your vehicle will fit, look up the dimensions. No one would give me measurements so hopefully this will help future tenants. The location of this place was excellent and with three college age kids with us, having them on their own floor with own bathrooms was perfect. It was so nice having three balconies with views. Although some of the furniture and carpeting needed cleaning or replacement, this is a beach house and we were fine with it, we did not spend a lot of time there. We thought it was a great place and would definitely stay there again.

Rental had the best views ever! Alot of steps as it's a town house so I would not recommend for older people or people with younger children but it made for a great family vacation as everyone had their own space. Great location. Close to everything. Only reason I gave a 4 star to condition is that it is dated and could use some upgrades and if you plan to cook its light on pans, otherwise everything you need. Thanks for a great 1st trip to Carolina beach. We will return.

Overall the condo was fine. Location is good and the ocean view was was nice to have bedrooms and baths on separate floors. There was a problem with the access code when we arrived, but a new one was activated immediately when I called Bryant. Inside there were two different WIFI passwords posted, both different from the one Bryant communicated. We were only there for the weekend were surprised to find no paper towels, dishwasher detergent or extra toilet paper.
