Would not come back!

House was comfortable enough…doors in the house have to be pressed firmly on in order to latch shut, the cabinets squeak and are extremely outdated so it was no surprise when the downstairs apartment complained about noise. It was frustrating trying to keep our 2 year old quiet when a few modernizing updates could really improve this property. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone with children as the sound travels to the lower apartment and the property manager was none to friendly about it. The front and back doors also need the locks replaced, the bottom locks do not do anything only the deadbolt. This would be an incredible property if it were modernized and updated as well as friendly property managers! Also, half the dishes were dirty in the cabinets and had to be rewashed but they were sure to tell us we had to clean every dish and put them away (which was fine) but it seems as if nobody checks that the property is actually clean and kept before visitors come. I was super disappointed in our stay. The area is great but this property was not!!

Flynn Family Vacation Week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Henson Upper for our family vacation! Old school beach house, very short walk to beach access and great porch swing. But, now that Bryant is cleaning the house, it is obvious because there are spots on the carpet, the dishwasher front was not cleaned and the side of the refrigerator where the trash is kept was not cleaned nor were the shower heads in the bathrooms. Think the Bryant cleaning folks need to be a little more thorough.

Spring break 2022 Carolina Beach.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a nice stay. Loved the porch and the distance to the beach. I think the rental could use some updates. The carpet was very stained as were the couches/ comforters. Other than that we had a wonderful time and enjoyed the stay very much.

Carolina Beach Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the location of the beach house. However, I do believe the floors should be mopped before guests arrive. I walked across the kitchen/dining room floor and my feet were black. I realize that the management company does their best in preventing pest but we did whiteness a few cockroaches. Otherwise the property was well stocked with everything you need to cook even some games for rainy days.
