great vacation

Haven't been to Carolina Beach in years- but this cottage brought back many fond memories. CB has many new businesses but the Ferris Wheel/boardwalk, friendly people, fishing piers are still there and our little cottage seemed just like home. Everything was just as shown in the property listing. I would recommend and revisit again. Thank you, Susan. R, Dawn and Lee

Carolina Beach

Pictures are not up to date. There is no access to getting on the lake so no paddle boats. We have young kids ages 6, 4 and 1.5 and they all enjoyed the park that was 3 houses down from us! Ice cream was a short 4 minute walk as wellAs the beach and boardwalk took about 7-10 minutes to get to! We took advantage of the free movie Sunday night at the center down the road as well as the family night on Tuesday where they got to meet Princess Tiana and get their face painted! Overall was an excellent stay!

Great Location

Loved this place! Best location ever!! Within walking distance to beach, restaurants, and the heart of Carolina Beach. Being that close to the lake was awesome! There was a nice breeze each day. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. Would love to stay there again!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The positives - great location (close enough to walk to the beach and the Carolina beach pier), cute beach-y decor, plenty of room for our group of 6, and a beach wagon sand toys to borrow. The negatives - the house had several signs that it hasn’t been maintained well. Of note, rodent feces in the cabinet above the microwave (see photo), very dirty floors surrounding the toilet and a gap in the floor surrounding the toilet (see photos), corroded battery in one of the remotes (see photo), uneven and boggy wood floors suggestive of underlying water damage, brown stains on the first layer of sheets on one of the beds, the grill was a nice addition however it was very dirty and there were no grilling utensils available. We left wishing we would have chosen to stay at a different place we had on our list of choices.

What a CUTE little beach home!!

The house was so clean and the beds were like sleeping on a cloud. Plenty of towels and everything else you will need for a beach stay. Super close to beach access, shops and restaurants/bars. The owner is super sweet and very helpful. We will definitely stay here again!

Lovely little cottage

We loved staying in the little yellow cottage on the lake. It's just a short walk to the beach where we spent our mornings. Relaxing on the screened porches and walks around the lake birdwatching were also favorite activities.

A lovely stay at the beach!

We had a wonderful stay at the lovely beach cottage! It was with him walking distance of the beach, some restaurants and shops. We love the relaxing and peaceful location by the lake.

Wonderful Cottage & host

This was our 2nd year staying at the Lake Cottage and it’s one of the best little places on the island. Clean & comfortable, the house is perfect for a small family. Close to the lake for walking and the new playground for young children. Susan is prompt to answer messages and very understanding. I would recommend her and her cottage to anyone.

Fabulous location

We Loved our stay in this charming cottage. The location is just perfect with its back porch enjoying a full lake view and a few minutes walk down the street leads you directly on to the beach. Shops and Great dining are just a 5 -10 minute walk. The home itself was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The owner Susan was super responsive and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or stay here again.

Great stay close to the beach

The house is a 6-ish minute walk to the beach and is close to many restaurants in the area. We loved sitting on the back porch and looking out on the lake (and taking walks around the lake as well). The host is very responsive to messages which was great!

Beautiful Cottage/Beautiful Location

The house was everything we expected. It has a screened in porch on the front and back of the house. We watched fireworks on Thursday evening from the front porch and looked at Lake Park with its track that folks walked their dogs on the back porch. It was an easy walk to the beach, but back far enough for the quietness. It was beautiful inside. We will definitely be staying again. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay.

Perfect Beach Cootage

This adorable 2BR cottage is perfect for a couple who appreciate a nostalgic feel plus modern amenities. Susan was an outstanding host and has decorated the house beautifully. Overlooking Carolina Lake with backyard access to a well-lit walking path, the cottage was just a couple of blocks from beach access and plenty of Boardwalk activities. We have relatives in Wilmington so we plan to book this place whenever we plan on visiting. Highly recommended!

Perfect for a girl's weekend getaway!

Family cottage charm passed down through the years but updated interior. Very clean and bright! Location perfect for enjoying the lake and the ocean. The weekend provided a special setting to catch up and continue a 50+ year friendship. Susan was very attentive and made the check in and stay very nice. Thank you Susan.

Much needed respite

We was very pleased with everything that this cottage had to offer. It would have gotten 5 stars, but there was a couple of bugs. I figured that's to be expected with the age of the home. We look forward to returning again!
