We overall really enjoyed our stay! The condo was clean and comfortable. The welcome bag was a nice touch! The balcony was the highlight of the place with amazing ocean views. Our one negative was the lack of beach towels. As it is a beach condo (literally on the beach) it makes sense for the owners to provide beach towels as most people don't travel with them.
Beautiful property with private beach access. Walking distance to many nearby restaurants and bars. Quiet neighbors, the balcony in the morning provides excellent reviews. Good communication from the owners. Overall we would stay again.

Fun Girls Weekend!
This lil condo was perfect for our girls get together. We had everything we needed and the place was nice and clean. The best part was the view and having the beach right outside your door!! Loved that the beach wasn't too crowded and seemed to be a good family area. Would go back!

The condo itself needs some tlc. Some of the furniture is old and lights on the fans didn't work. Some of the outdoor furniture needs replaced. Beach umbrella is falling apart and did not work. But the view was beautiful.

Thanks for your review. We did not know about the umbrella but will be replacing and will address the lights on the fan- thanks for letting us know.
I really like a place that doesn't skimp on what they provide. I loved they included linens, basic spices and cleaning supplies, detergent, and even had a lovely bottle of wine and sunglasses! Generous beach supplies too - nice chairs, etc. Their communication was great whenever I had a question. Great view! The only cons were the stairs, moldy washing machine and broken dryer (we had to set the cycle about 10 times to dry one load), and some rickety furniture on the deck (the picnic table was lopsided and unstable). The neighbors above us thumped like elephants the entire week, started early too, but that may be luck of the draw. Great location. Would stay here again if it was just the two of us (our teens didn't love sharing a small bed).

Great first beach vacation!
Being first timers we were unsure what to expect. Staying oceanfront was the best choice we made. The ease of going out with all the beach "stuff" and being able to run the kids in for the bathroom or forgotten goggles was awesome. The beach in front of the home was never crowded, even on the weekends. We thought maybe the peak season hadn't started but on a day trip to Kure they were packed in. It was so nice to get back and have some space. The storage unit is full of everything you need, especially for kids. 2 body boards, a skim board, buckets, shovels, a half dozen chairs, yoga mats, umbrella, and shelters. The 10x10 shelter that was there when we arrived was bent. I gave Tony a heads up and told him the umbrella was working fine. He had a brand new shelter delivered the next day! It was totally above and beyond and we loved it.
I still want the giant 3 family open floor plan house trip but as long as it is just us and the kids La Casita will be the first place we look.

Thank you for your review. We are so glad that you and your family had a great first beach vacation.
As parents of four, Mary and I made many long trips to the beach with a van packed full of stuff. So when we started renting our home, we knew it was important to fully equip the beach condo. Having a canopy is especially important for families to prevent serious sun burns.
We look forward to having you and your family back!!!
The beach is great of course. Not extremely busy and very easy and close to get too. Condo had a storage unit with lots of great items for the beach, chairs, toys, umbrella etc. The kitchen had lots of useless items and not stuff thats practical for a week stay for cooking/ storage. Good bit of decor not needed that took up room for a small space. Soft spots in the floor. Water smelled awful. Condo more suitable for max of 4 people. We had to put sheets on the beds when we got there. More blankets, toilet paper would have been nice.Washer was moldy and smelled bad. Outlet covers, curtains, toilet paper holder all hanging off wall. Parking is a nightmare especially if you have a bigger car like us. Told us we would be getting a sand bucket vs bag for our welcome gift and we didn’t get a bucket.stairway is tight and awkward getting to room. We had a great time overall. The road the house on is very tight with lots of people walking, no sidewalks, and houses right on top of the road. This was our most expensive place we have stayed in Carolina beach and our least favorite. It was okay but wouldn’t book here again unfortunately.
Great view and location, plenty of parking for visitors. Cheaply updated, unsafe electrical panel, black mold in dryer. Had an issue with the fridge and owners responded immediately to fix issue.
The location is amazing and views are beautiful! Overall we would recommend La Casita- it was clean, beds were comfortable (except the sleeper sofa), and it had most things we needed to cook and enjoy the beach. There are a few things that probably need to be updated/addressed in the near future. For example, the washer was moldy and smelled, the handle on the storage closet was coming off, and a few of the sliding doors came off track easily which was a bit frustrating. In the end, we enjoyed our stay and the amazing views.
Great location! Very functional property....good view of ocean. All the necessary items for a beach stay. Good location relative to downtown Carolina Beach... would stay in this area again.
Wife had to clean counter tops and bathrooms before we unpacked.
Shower door and sliding door to deck off their track
Roaches and bugs around cabinets above stove
Urine still on commode in guest bath
Items from previous guests still under bed and nightstand when we arrived.
Power outlet in master bath not working
Wine cooler did not work....suggest removing if intention is not to fix.
We enjoyed our stay at this location. The deck overlooking the beach was absolutely wonderful and it was within close proximity to all your needs including some awesome restaurants. Upon arrival, everything was ready for us and looked tidy however there was some debris on the floors (like the cleaners didn't bother to move furniture to get to dirt). Additionally, the bathrooms and kitchen are slightly dated and could use some TLC/sprucing. Those are minor things because all in all it met all of our basic needs and we had a great time.
Stuffed kitchen with everything nessesary to eat at least breakfast and lunch with ocean view. Not too far to center of town to walk for the dinner.
Beach accessories provided also.
This was a cozy spot with a great view! It is close to so many activities, we loved visiting the boardwalk with our kids, the aquarium, and the DEFY trampoline park. The condo was clean, the welcome gift was wonderful, check-in and check-out were a breeze, happy all around! It was just an easy, homey place to be. Recommend for sure!
The ocean view from the covered balcony offered a break from the sun while still enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean. The private beach access was wonderful and our section of the beach was never too crowded. Comfortable beds and fully equipped kitchen.
Great property! Can’t beat the location. It was perfect for myself, my husband, our baby and in-laws. The master closet is a perfect size for a pack-n-play haha. We had a minor issue and the owners handled it immediately! We loved our stay.
The location was absolutely perfect the place was clean and had plenty of room for all of us and also had everything we needed I bought paper towels and trash bags and things like that but they were already there in the condo as well just a beautiful beautiful condo as well as a beautiful view of the beach we saw dolphins we found crabs we found shells it was quite enjoyable.
Great location right on the beach and pleasant walk to boardwalk and/or beach lunch spots. We stayed with our one-year-old and she loved being out on the balcony. My husband and I loved being close enough to the condo to run up and get something from the house relatively painlessly while on the beach. Great view of the waves from balcony for morning and evening relaxation.
This property was awesome! We had wonderful oceanfront views. We seen dolphins every morning from the balcony. The beach was not crowded and we had our own walkway and access! The condo had everything we needed as well as beach supplies! We will definitely stay here again! The owners were very easy to work with!
Very good location on the ocean side and close to all things Carolina Beach. It was nice to have everything needed provided- sheets, towels, cleaning supplies, washer & dryer, small appliances, dishes, utensils, and pots & pans, and more.
