The house was very easy to locate, had all the latest amenities and was very clean. The host was in contact with me consistently and responded to all of my questions within an hour. The house is so close to the beach that it made the trip very relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend!

Perfect spot

This was the perfect spot for staying at the beach without technically staying on the bea ch. We were very close to the beach access, and it was perfect that the house had beach supplies for us to use.

We loved everything about the house and the location. Just steps from the beach was wonderful. The house was well cleaned and fully stocked. The house was so much more than we expected. The host Lisa was very nice and communicated very well. We intend to come back....

We regret that this guest chose to leave the property early. For clarity, the home was inspected during their stay and found to be safe, habitable, and exactly as described in the listing. There were no flooding or safety issues at the property or surrounding streets. VRBO reviewed the situation and confirmed that no refund was due. While weather can sometimes affect the beach experience, the property itself was in good condition, and we remain committed to addressing any concerns promptly for our guests. The sun even came out the next day ☀️

Weekend getaway

Close location to the beach and plenty of beach accessories to use which we really appreciated! Description and pictures of place are accurate. Close proximity to the boardwalk was nice. We had a slight problem that was quickly fixed the same day. Thank you for allowing us to stay!

Pelicans Loft - Carolina Beach NC

Communication with Management was excellent-Quick responses- Location was great - Beach Chairs, Sunshade, Beach toys all available- Accommodations were as described- Very Clean. Lots of stairs (so be aware) - Parking limited to small or average size vehicles (street parking available but would not recommend with oversized vehicles-tight road passage). Overall - I would recommend the Pelican’s Loft.

Nice house, great location

Our stay was welcomed by great communication leading up to our arrival and throughout our stay. The house was kept very clean and had beach stuff for guest use. Unfortunately due to rain non-stop during the entire trip, some ants came in but the property owners left spray that helped mitigate the issue. They were very responsive in assisting with all questions we had. Each room had a smart TV which was ideal. We enjoyed movie nights, board games and the access to the beach (when it wasn't raining).Overall, we loved our stay and would book again in the future!

Amazing!!

The PERFECT location and a very comfortable spot!! The owners are so helpful and responsive, and although you are not "on the beach", the access is literally steps away! Nice side street that is quiet and so close to everything. I honestly considered not sharing our review so we could keep this gem to ourselves LOL - we had the great stay and will definitely return!!

Weren't Given the Chance to Check In

Check in is at 4pm. We arrived at the property at 4:15 with zero emails with codes on how to get keys. After speaking with an agent with VRBO, they attempted to call the owner and property manager 2 times before deciding they needed to cancel our reservation due to lack of response from owner. Only book this place if you want to panic about not having somewhere to stay after your long day of travel! Thank goodness we decided at last minute to rent a car, and not get dropped off by a taxi. Of course everywhere in town was sold out, and this completely ruined our vacation.

Hello. We are VERY sorry this happened to your reservation. We did not receive any phone calls from the platform unfortunately and I've been on the phone with them for 30 minutes trying to get to the bottom of what occurred. I had zero missed calls and I confirmed the phone number. This has never happened before. I absolutely am sorry that your vacation was completely ruined and I'm sorry you didn't get the chance to stay.
