Very cute condo. Looked better in person. A/C was not on when we arrived it took a long time to cool down. It also didn't work well so we had to keep fans running to stay cool. Showerhead was terrible. I'm short with thick hair and it took forever to rinse out. The sliding door was off track when we arrived the host came very quickly to look at it for us. There really isn't a view of the water. We did enjoy the pool and the whole area we had never been. A lot of walking. I liked that there were two toilets but there is no where to put any styling tools down so I had to use the bedroom and bathroom to get ready. Sleeps 4 but 4 getting ready in this unit would be hard. Loved the washer in dryer in the unit with pods supplied!! Overall a nice place.

Great Property & Wonderful Host!

Erica was super responsive and communication was wonderful! The property was clean, cozy, and very close to the beach! The pool was a great bonus too for the whole family, but especially this very pregnant mama and our toddler! We had an awesome mini vacation and look forward to staying here again in the future if availability and such permits!

Great cozy condo for a family of 4

We enjoyed our stay at Erica’s condo. It was updated and decorated nicely. When we escaped the heat the inside was nice and cool so we gathered in the living area to play games. The beach was right around the corner. Communication was great! I would recommend her condo for a small family.

Island Dream review

When we first got to the property we were shocked it was not a two bedroom as described. However, after contacting the owners we received a partial refund and they did get us a blow up mattress for our stay. The property is indeed a one bedroom smaller unit. The property is very close to the beach and common pool. If we were traveling with less people I would book here again

Family Getaway

Overall the condo was great, very clean and neat and the host was easy to communicate with. Upon our arrival there was only one bedroom and a sleeper couch when it clearly states on the website 2 bedrooms. We had 2 couples, both of us in our 40s and disappointed that one couple had to sleep in the living room. The response I got from her was just an apology stating it was VRBO's fault. We still loved the area and the condo is very nice and clean. It wasnt until I was messaged asking what we did with her throw pillow that I got upset. I dont need a throw pillow nor do I want one. As an adult with homes of my own, I did find this very rude, and disrespectful. I do understand that there are groups of people who do not respect others belongings, but hopefully at the time of check out, how neat the home was left could have been an indication of our decency.

Beautiful condo with everything we needed for a small Mother/Daughters getaway. The beach is not far, pool's right there. I haven't stayed many places where there were enough towels...we had plenty!

What a cute place to stay!

This property was everything I thought it would be and more. Aside from being exactly as described there were little extras as well. There was a little piece of candy on our towels when we arrived. Just like if you were at a hotel. There was also a complimentary jar of taffy that I enjoyed over the week. There were a few dishwasher tabs, laundry tabs and plenty of toilet paper and paper towels for 2 people over the week. I felt like I was at a very nice hotel.

Family friendly apartment

We had a wonderful week at Carolina Beach. The host responded so quickly to any questions we had and even checked on us during the week. There was always a parking spot available and it was a very short walk to the beach. Restaurants and grocery stores were just a short drive away! You could probably even get a nice walk in to the boardwalk from the apartment if you wanted but we didn't try it out because of the kiddos. Everyone in the neighborhood was so friendly and there was always someone on the beach willing to help carry our cart over the rocks. We loved the outdoor patio, especially for storing any beach gear or drying towels. The bed was very comfy! I feel like beach houses are notorious for uncomfortable beds and this is the first rental I've stayed at with a comfortable bed. We cooked dinner almost every night and were able to use the pots, pans, and utensils provided to cook our meals. We are so glad we found the rental and were able to enjoy a week at the beach.

Very disappointed

The condo is very pretty and clean. The TV did not work there was no dishwasher detergent. We washed dishes by hand and washed the floors. Then the host was unavailable for contact. However they then accused us of stealing a toothbrush holder and have been sending messages non stop. It is now 1:15 am by the way and they are still messaging We have had a lot of luck with gracious amd helpful hosts At Vrbo This sadly was not one.

Family vacation

When we arrived to the condo there was some slight confusion on the access code, I contacted the owners and the situation was immediately rectified. We noticed as we were going in that it was extremely warm in the unit. We thought possibly the people that were there prior may have forgotten to turn the AC on. So we tried to adjust it, and there was a problem outside. The unit was frozen up, contacted the owner again. Not only did they come themselves To attempt to fix it, but when they realized they could not, they had an emergency repairman come out. By 9.pm everything was taken care of and the rest of our vacation flowed smoothly. I will definitely keep you all in mind when booking for next year! Fully recommend this property.
