Barefoot Mermaid’s Carolina Beach house

(1) Got into vacation mode right away. Sweet place: All the amenities you could need and so bright and clean!!! Up to date appliances, all kitchen stuff you need. Sheets and towels provided made things easy (had to bring our own beach towels but that’s common). 2. Easy in, easy out. One good thing that came out of covid is the invention of “contactless check-in” with coded door locks. Quick and easy with no office key pickup or waiting for host. (3) Nice back porch and yard. (4) off the beaten path away from tourist attractions boardwalk etc (5) location location location. Walked to the beach in like 10 mins and could also use public parking real close by. We play pickle ball so glad for the park 2 blocks away Oh yeah: Best bbq and diner takeout just up the street Butts and Such. Almost like room service ha ha. Gonna try to go back in Sept or def next year.

Family Beach Getaway for July 4th weekend.

Overall for the price we are content with our stay. We were attracted to this home because of the location and price but even for the affordable price we were a little disappointed in a few things. Here’s our honest list of pros and cons. Pros: close to the beach, affordable, close to a bike and walkway, everything worked, kitchen had everything you’d need, and a large backyard. Cons: bathrooms and other items need updated, vents and bathroom fans were filthy and had mold, seem to have a bug problem we had multiple very large cockroaches during our stay, and the check out list was very excessive considering the price of service/cleaning fee. Also we were given a non working access code and when I reached out to the property management, they were a little condescending and short about the code, they gave us another code and it worked fine. Overall if your looking for a budget friendly place and don’t mind the cons it was a decent vacation rental.
