Clean, comfortable, well appointed. We has plenty of space for our four person family, good amenities, well cared for, and quick response times from the host on the few occasions we had questions. A short walk to the beach, right by the town. Loved it!

This was our first time in Carolina Beach and this was a great place to stay. It was very clean and the host was very quick to answer any questions you may have. My only recommendation would be to have paper hang tags for your automobile with the dates you are there just in case you forget to leave it like us and had to turn around and come back. Other than that this was a great vacation and definitely a nice place to stay.

Fantastic getaway

Such a cute property. Easy checkin process and hosts were extremely quick to respond to any questions. Short and easy walk to the beach and close to the boardwalk and restaurants. Our family definitely enjoyed our visit!

Owner was great to communicate with and everything was clean and just as listed! The only negative I have at all is parking and walking up 3 flights of stairs with luggage and groceries. Once inside the place is great!!

Rainy weekend at the beach

It has happened again! Took our granddaughter for the weekend and it rained and stormed until Sunday morning - the day of departure! The accommodations were flawless except for 1 thing - the hideous wallpaper in the front bedroom. The eyes on the mushrooms freaked out my granddaughter so she took the master suite.

The place was super clean! Within walking distance from the beach! The pool was nice! Covered, designated parking was nice! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! There were even beach chairs and an umbrella and child’s life vest if needed available to use! The host was super helpful and available if needed. We enjoyed ourselves. Would definitely come back!

This condo was very clean with a sleek modern decor. We really enjoyed our stay. The host was immediately responsive. The parking is right under the unit (but off an ally). It was easy to get in and out of. The pool was a definite bonus after a sandy day on the beach. Would definitely recommend.

Great space and a cute motif. Short walk to the beach and not very crowded on that part of the beach. We would definitely stay here again.
