Super cute and cozy house in a great location. Easy beach access and quick to all Carolina Beach attractions. Host was incredibly friendly and responsive. Beds are very comfortable and dark curtains allow you to sleep in at the beach (which is rare!). Small but mighty kitchen. I cooked for 5 nights and had no issues.

enjoyed this home and it's location. The listing was very accurate. I did not like having to strip beds as I feel that is the purpose for the high priced cleaning fee. I did wnjoy my stay and the close walk to the beach. Would definitely stay again. Communication with the host was rated 5 star. Thanks Emily!

Quaint, clean, comfortable and fun little cottage! Very short walk to the beach! Our family of 4 would definitely stay here again. If you have light sleepers, consider taking earplugs or a sound machine for the bedroom closest to the road as the traffic is a tad noisy if you’re going to bed on the early side. Appreciated the quick communication with the host and the blackout curtains! Beds and linens were also comfortable!

Communication with Emily was great! Only “issue” we had was that some of the light switches didn’t work, outlets didn’t hold plugs & some interior doors didn’t shut all the way. But nothing stopped us from enjoying our vacation.

Cozy cottage

We had an awesome family get away. The cottage was so cozy and a true blast from the past! The cottage reminded me so much of a house we rented every summer when I was a little girl. Everything was neat and clean and the description of the cottage was exact. The house was located near everything which was so convenient and just a short walk to the beach as well. Emily the host was wonderful to work with and answered me promptly when I had a question. Hopefully I will get a chance to come back soon.

Comfortable cottage on North End

We enjoyed our stay in early June 2024. The bungalow is on the north end, walkable to the main strip of Carolina Beach but not ideal without sidewalks. The beach is very close and accessible, a great location for beach access. Communication with the property manager Emily was great, she was very flexible and responsive. The bungalow itself is pretty sparse-no washer or dryer or dishwasher and not a lot of extras but very comfortable with a great front porch and spacious unfenced backyard.

About the host

Hosted by Emily Jennings

Host profile image
I am new to VRBO but not new to renting my home--I have been hosting for years on the other major home rental site- if you'd like to see many reviews to help you make your decision please check it out.

Why they chose this property

This location is great because it is only .2 miles to beach, and .8 miles to the boardwalk --so walking or riding a bike is easy. We are also around the corner from the North End Cafe which is huge for last minute supplies or a great sandwich/coffee/beer on the way to the beach.

What makes this property unique

This is grandma's old cottage with proper updates. If you are looking for a quintessential beach cottage this is it. Wood paneled walls and butcher block countertop and original cabinets- they just dont make them like this anymore.
