Lovely Home and Fantastic Location

Hard to find anything we didn’t like. The home is quite nice, well-appointed with nice comfy furniture, beds, a fully equipped kitchen, and awesome pool area with grill, etc. We had a family gathering with 24 aunts, uncles, cousins, kids - and all totally enjoyed! The location is amazing. Literally a three minute walk to the beach. I would stay here again!

Great family stay

Great spot for a family (or families) to stay together. Easy close walk to the beach with kids and the house was both safe and well-stocked for children. Not much for beach views, unfortunately, despite how close it is to the beach (new home construction directly behind). But the location is still quite accessible. Owner was clear and easy to communicate with and helpful as needed; although home was well put together and everything they said it would be, so little communication was needed.

The house was as expected and very clean. The beach was also only a 2 minute walk. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay at Sweet Carolina! This house fit our extended family perfectly! It was clean, comfortable, and had so many of the little things that you might not think you would need like baby safe cabinet locks in a drawer, very nice beach equipment for your use, etc. We even found some starfish when we walked down to the rocky end of the beach (which we returned to their place on the rocks). The hosts are very polite and responsive when I contacted them with questions. Our family didn't want to leave!

About the host

Hosted by Liz Mallas Law

Host profile image
We bought this house at the very end of 2020 and have spent many hours at the house upgrading it and making our own memories. The home is owned by two families who have known each other for decades. We look forward to many more decades of friendship and hope you enjoy the house as much as we do. We've been using a property management company and look forward to renting via VRBO.

Why they chose this property

We have vacationed in OIB for years and love the quiet of the East End of the island.

What makes this property unique

We have young kids, so we've made sure that the house is enjoyable for people of every stage of life...even the youngest.
