2026 - New Year

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: We always spend New Year's Eve at the beach; it's kind a tradition, sometimes with family, friends or both. This was my first experience renting a house in Carolina Beach with A1 Property Management, and I can say it was one of the best. The house was clean, beautiful decorated, organized, and well-equipped not only with appliances but also with necessary accessories like dishwasher and laundry pods, etc. The A1 Property Communications was easy and always available. I will absolutely be back to this house and would try any other property from A1 in the future.

The house is fully equipped and everything in working order. We enjoy the spacious outside shower, the grill, and great deck.. We also appreciate that it is dog friendly for our well-behaved dog. We plan on renting it again next year. Thank you to owners for maintaining a welcoming beach house.

Top notch with a great view.

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: We checked in and the linens had not been changed and washed. We called the property manager and he promptly came over, gathered all of the linens and towels, took them, washed them, returned them, and made up the beds. Very good service.The property was ocean front with a board walk to the beach. The views from the porch were spectacular and espescialy the sunrises and sunsets. The place was clean and very nice. The backside (facing the ocean) was the kitchen and seating area and the views were as good as the porch. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils and a coffee maker. They also had a hot pot for heating up water for the tea drinkers in the group. Overall, the property was as described in the listing, the attentiveness of the property manager was top notch. I would recommend this property to anyone. My group is talking about coming back.

Family Vacay

The house was absolutely perfect for our family stay. Being right on the beach is priceless with children ages 2 & 3. The sunrise views in the morning are beautiful & gets your day started on the right foot. Very centrally located - went to the aquarium one morning (10 minutes away), ice cream right across the street, Tiki Bar a few houses down & Publix one mile away. Love the retro feel of Carolina Beach & watched the surfers every day!

Perfect for Girls Weekend

Everything about this house was just right for our group of 5. The only complaints we had were that the lock box for the key was a bit difficult to open and the showers are really small. But location was perfect and overall property was very nice. Would definitely stay here again!
