Had a great time, the living room was huge and gave the kids plenty of space to play while the grown ups relaxed! Very close to the beach made it easy to come and go. Plenty of ammemities and things at the house to make staying there a breeze, the outdoor shower was very nice for rinsing off after going to the beach.

The house was perfectly located to everything that makes a beach vacation fun. Close to the beach, restaurants, kayak drop in, and so much more. The house had everything we needed. I would recommend this house to everyone. Would love to come back. Deck views were beautiful and our dogs had plenty of room inside and out. The host was very responsive. 10/10!

Host was very responsive. Had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the ease of getting over to the beach. Pet friendly and nice decks to relax on to watch the day go by. the gates on the deck was nice to have our pup outside with us and not have to worry about here wondering off. the latched gates kept her on the deck so she could dry out after playing on the beach and allowed us to sit and relax without her wandering off. Lots of restaurants in a reasonably short walk, if you are up for walking in the Carolina's during summer! 98F and 90% humidity is home to me, but that 0.7 miles in those temps, and all the parking basically being paid parking, be prepared. Would definetely recomend.

We came here with my daughter and some of her friends for her 16th birthday. The check in did not go so well when we were sent all the info for the incorrect place and people were in the home and it took almost an hour to figure it all out. We eventually were given the correct info for the place that was booked and it was right down the street so not too bad of an adjustment. The place was great once we got there and settled. Super close to the beach and great porch right outside of kitchen/living area. Ice maker didn't work so just bought multiple bags of ice which was fine. Thank you for having us in your vrbo.

Super easy check in and out. Loved the property and how close it was to the beach. It's also very difficult to find a house with a dog who is a barker, but since this is far enough away from others he could bark his heart out. Loved the porch and the house was very beach friendly. Parking was the easiest I've seen at Carolina as well.

Great Stay

This property could not be more convenient to everything we needed. It is in a great location. We are a family of 4 plus our dog. Kids are 5 and 7. Beach access was so easy and the main drag/boardwalk are minutes away. The property provided everything we needed.

Perfect last minute spring house for our family! Location is great, just a quick block walk to the beach and views of the canal from the deck. We loved the deck and sat out there often, our dog especially loved laying out there, and there is a gate so it was perfect for her. It is also centrally located between the pier and the boardwalk so we were able to bike to both. North End mini mart is right in front and we had coffee from there everyday. (It is currently under construction so there is some construction debris and such next door at the moment).The house over all was clean, cute and well stocked. I loved that even the couches had sheets available in the closet. One child did sleep on the couch and he loved it. The outdoor shower is a great addition. Lots of items in the closet below you can use such as corn hole.Rebecca is a wonderful host, she knew we were coming in late and left a light on for us. She is very responsive to messages and questions and even had new bags for the corn hole sent over when we asked. If we return to Caroline Beach in the future we would rent this home again.

Best Place to Stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Pirate's Pad over July 4th weekend. The house is so clean. Most appliances/furniture are new. The furniture is comfortable. There is grass for our little dog to enjoy. What a cozy place! The location of the house is also very convenient--1 min walk to the Kupboard grocery store, 2 min walk to the beach, and ~15 min (<1 mile) walk to the restaurants by the boardwalk area. No need to worry about driving places and having to find parking. This is our new favorite place to stay of all the beaches in NC! We will come back next year!

Location is A+ Home is a D

Location is perfect - walkability score is 10/10. Quite neighborhood with friendly people. Home desperately needs deep cleaning and is in disrepair. It's neither attactive or comfortable. Couch is dirty & stained. Bathroom rugs were filthy. Walls, cabinets & doors are a mess. Bathroom fixtures are coming out of the wall. Water roaches were really bad. Just very disappointed and cannot recommend.

We would love to stay here again

Jane was great with communicating with me before our stay, during and after. Thank you Jane! I was able to text her my suggestions on improving the property. She was available and quick to respond. We stayed here during the recent Tropical Storm Ophelia (?), 9/21/23, and while we were indoors for a couple of days, the place was insulated well, and it was pretty neat to listen to how the weather played out. Keep in mind to those expecting a ‘castle’, that this property has more of the beach cottage vibe. It was what we wanted. There were three adults and our mini dog, a service dog, and it helped having a washer n dryer on-site. The coffee and mini store behind this property, made me a couple great omelettes! Thank you for sharing your property with us!
