We had an amazing stay for the Fourth of July. The property is within walking distance of the beach and the outdoor shower was nice to be able to wash off after coming back. The house was very clean and the rooms were spacious. This was a perfect getaway for our family and it felt like a home away from home. We will definitely look to book again!
Loved everything about this property. It had all the items we needed to make our days enjoyable. Cute furniture and very clean. Would definitely use again! Thanks!!

Property was very well maintained and amenities were very thoughtful. Extra beach chairs and even a cooler were available for use. Outdoor shower helped us keep the min living area clean. Erin was very communicative and proactive as a host. Would definitely stay again!

Thanks so much for your review. We are glad you had a great trip and hope to see you again sometime.
Location was perfect..two blocks from the beach, walking distance to several eateries and easy drive to everywhere else. The place was child proof so no worries about breaking stuff and they even had games for people of all ages. Enough seating for 6+ at one time on the couch plus other seating in room.
We have never been to Carolina Beach before. We were so pleased with the house and location and town as a whole. The location is just perfect, 2 very easy blocks to the beach. It is exactly as the listing shows- beautiful and set up for a family. The communication between the owners and my family was perfect. We highly recommend and would love to come back. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with my family.

Thank you so much for your glowing review! Your family were ideal guests and we truly hope you return someday.
Perfect- house cleaners are getting away with not cleaning what they should be though- but the house is beautiful and so is the area!

Appreciate the feedback, however we do wish it would’ve been done in a manner other than posting on a review of our property, as we didn’t hear anything during your stay. If we knew what areas you felt needed more attention we follow through with all suggestions. Glad you enjoyed the area.
The house exceeded our expectations! It is even better than the pictures in the listing. We took our daughter and 4 of her friends down for a birthday trip. The bedroom configurations (each with an on-suite!) were perfect. We brought our own chairs and boogie boards, but the kids loved the cart to bring everything down to the beach. The kitchen was modern and in cherry condition with everything we needed to cook meals at home. I've stayed at many VRBO rentals and have never experienced one this great before. I would consider this house for all my beach rentals in the future. We had a small problem with the TV upstairs and Erin was super responsive. Everything was perfection! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
We were very comfortable and couldn't be happier about the location-two short blocks walk to the beach. The hosts were extremely attentive and everything was as advertised.
The house was amazing and the location was perfect! All new beds, furniture and decor. The proximity to the ocean and beach access was great ( 2 blocks away ). It is very close to the boardwalk with only a few minute drive using a golf cart. The pictures were spot on. The owners were fantastic! They responded to any and all questions we had before and during our stay. We can’t wait to come back!!. We highly recommend “ Sea got the best of me” for your stay at Carolina beach.

About the host
Hosted by Erin and Joe Serio
My husband, Joe and I, are thrilled to have recently bought this home and to share it with others who love the North Carolina beaches as much as we do!! Growing up "beaching" during the summer with extended family in North Carolina made me realize that one day I would make North Carolina home. I am so lucky that my husband shared that love and dream with me once he experienced a week at the beach. We hope you will enjoy the beauty of this area as much as our family does.
