About this property

Darling 1930s cottage across from ocean!

“Good Ole Waves” is by far the most darling cottage on Carolina Beach. It was constructed in the 1930’s and has charming cedar siding. This cottage combines all the necessary elements for a cozy, heartwarming stay from the inside to the front porch, screened in porch, and back deck.

When you enter the property, you make your way through the quaint living area with hearty wood floors and whitewashed walls. As you make your way towards the kitchen, you pass the Queen bedroom and Full bedroom. There is also a Twin daybed. There is access to the main floor bathroom with a beautifully tiled stand-up shower from the hallway. The kitchen has all the essentials including a large utility sink to prepare dinner for family or friends. Once dinner is prepared, there is a massive dining table to eat and socialize around.

On the upper level, you will find the primary bedroom with a King bed and en suite bathroom. The primary bedroom is spacious with lovely ocean views. In the primary bathroom, you will find a clawfoot tub that is perfect for soaking in on a relaxing evening.

The ground floor houses the laundry facility as well as another full bathroom. The closest beach access is Oyster Shell Public access across the street.

Don't miss a spectacular sunrise, the awesome donuts at Britt's, watching for playful dolphins, Thursday night fireworks on the beach or the Farmer's Market at the Lake. You'll want to immerse yourself in the myriad of activities offered on Pleasure Island. If it rains, head down south the the Fort Fisher Aquarium, or check out the historical site. Maybe you want to take a ferry ride over to Southport for the day, or perhaps go hiking in the maritime forest of Carolina Beach State Park. Make your plans today and be "Good Ole Waves" on Pleasure Island for your next vacation.

Smelly roach infested filthy house across from the beach
This house reeks and has pet hair, pet smell, dirty linens and huge cockroaches. The living room, furniture, unlike the pictures in the listing, are covered in smelly dirty spreads. When we , upon check in, reached out by text to the rental agency stating our dirty bed issues (sand in bed), roach, they offered to do another extermination, but took hours to respond as apparently the contact i used was for emergencies only and the evening was considered after "business hours". They did not address our smell and filth concerns. We had to fix the issue ourselves by the only means possible and that meant we had to take our kids, dog , after a 12 hour drive elsewhere. We did not, could not, stay 1 single night due to its inhabitability. We had to find a hotel, which was an hour away that was available on such short notice fir a family and a pet, elsewhere and essentially paid 2x for 5 days. We turned in the keys several days early , told them.in person via text all our issues and they refunded our cleaning cost on vrbo but not one single nights fee or even any percentage of this several thousand dollar booking. Their cleaning service said everything was clean. Very convenient. But look at the reviews. (Unfortunately one was posted after 1 booked and of course their cancelation policy did not allow me to change) Its a filthy house. If you have any sense of smell, and sense if cleanliness and order, if you have eyes, avoid.

Cockroaches!!!
The cottage was very quaint and beautiful. My family was so excited to take a step back in time. The location is great for beach lovers as it is directly across from beach access. However, our trip was ruined by a cockroach infestation! We were unable to have food in our house or do any cooking. As a large family we rent houses so we can specifically do this. We went to speak with the company that manages the house and rentals and have yet to hear back from the property manager! I am completely disappointed by their lack of response and/or concern. I wouldn’t recommend anyone rent anything from Bryant Real Estate and I have definitely learned my lesson as well.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fatastic roomy home across the street from beach. We have a very old 70lb dog&my husband would carry him up and down the stairs. It was a little to hot to sleep on the ground floor at the time-but sleeping down there would be a good old dog, stair free option.
