Awesome Beach House

Date of Stay: 09/09/11
Review Submitted: 09/15/11
Had an awesome visit 9/9/11 to 9/14/11. House was better than describled. There was so many extras that were included in the house that was not even mentioned on the web page. Great location - couldn't ask for anything better for the 4-legged family members. Owner was the best to work with. Can't wait to come back for another visit. Thanks for sharing you beach home.

Perfect Place to Stay

This wonderful cottage was even better than described. It was updated with bamboo flooring (I think) in both of the bedrooms and a flat screen TV in the living room. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed for our stay and then some. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our two dogs and the outdoor faucets were very convenient to wash the sand off after a day at the beach - which was just across the street and uncrowded. Overall, it was at an absolutely amazing rental that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to vacation in Carolina Beach. Thank you Tish for providing an excellent rental for our vacation and I hope to be back next year!

Tish and the house was absolutely fabulous!! My mom, myself, my two children and my Boxer just spent a week (May 14 - May 21) here and we didn't want to leave!! The house is absolutely wonderful!! The pictures and the description don't really do it justice. This property is definitely one you need to see! Trish made arranging everything very easy and was a real pleasure to work with! We will definitely keep this property in mind when it is time for our next vacation!! Thanks so much, Tish!!

April Getaway

Review Submitted: 04/25/11
This cottage was a perfect location for us, parents of UNCW freshman, who couldnt come home for Easter, so Mom and Dad found this wonderful cottage that would accomodate family and lil dog. The beach house was exactly as described, very cozy, comfortable, and centrally located. We loved the convenience of linens provided, cooking supplies, as well as beach chairs if we needed them. We were located within walking distance to convenience stores,take out food, etc. The beach was right there and uncrowded. Enjoyed many of the local tourist attractions including the ferry to Southport which we would highly recommend. Wilmington's Riverfront was fun too! Tish was easy to work with and very accomodating. The fenced in yard was great for our dog but we still kept her leashed and walked her as she is small, thin and could have fit through some of the spaces between the fence posts. Hope to return in the future!

Great for family getaway

Review Submitted: 04/20/11
This was a great place and perfect for a small family getaway (4 adults, 1 toddler, 1 dog). Love that it was pet-friendly and a VERY short walk to the beach. I really like that you can opt to clean the cottage yourself rather than pay for maid service--this is a nice option to save money if you can handle wielding a mop! The location is close the beach but avoids the noise/crowds of the boardwalk. we had a great time walking around the lake and stopping by the veggie market right across the street! Tish was very helpful and responded immediately to our concerns. Thanks again for a great weekend getaway!

This house was more than I could have ever expected! The listing description was more than accurate! This house was very short walking distance to the beach, to a beautiful park and to all Pleasure Island activities. Driving distance to many activities! The house was so clean, well maintained and stocked with just about anything you need! The owner was MORE than helpful and I would recommend this property to anyone, including friends and relatives! We walked everyday at the "Cape Fear' river park with my dog and it was beautiful! There is a "Bistro" right past the park that has wonderful wine, coffee and salads. We drove in to Wilimington for a Ghost tour and to walk the water front, shops etc.. Wilimington is well worth the short drive and I would recommend it to anyone that visits the area. Not only will I return, but I intend on returning for a long weekend in the off season as well as another full week next year for as many as Tish owns this rental. My only question will be which dog I am going to bring with my because my "Shelby" was in heaven!! Thanks to Tish!

My husband, myself, and our dog came from Greensboro to stay for a few days over my Spring Break (UNCG Grad student)-- we really enjoyed ourselves! The cottage is homey, cozy, and ready to be lived in. We loved how close it was to the beach, and how friendly the neighborhood was to us right away. Tish is a great host as well-- helpful, responsive, and wonderfully accommodating! Food tip: we walked over to The Treehouse Bistro for lunch one day (around the lake,) and it was some of the best food we've had in awhile (and we're amateur foodies)-- we definitely recommend it to anyone who stays here! We will definitely be back, many thanks to Tish (and Carolina Beach) for a wonderfully relaxing experience!
