Girls’ Book Club weekend was a success! Great location right across from beach access, a step away from soft serve ice cream, not a bad walk to the boardwalk area. Spacious and clean. Only negative was water pressure - despite having a few bathrooms, only one person could shower at a time after the beach! Would still stay again.

I’m so sorry to hear about the water pressure issue. We don’t have anything installed that should restrict the flow provided by the town, and this is the first time anyone has mentioned it being a problem. Was this affecting all four bathrooms or just one? Since the house has a full filtration system, mineral buildup in the showerheads shouldn’t be an issue, but if one bathroom had noticeably lower pressure than the others, that could be the cause. Thank you for letting us know.
Susan is AWESOME! Communication was great and I can’t tell you how amazing the house is. Perfect location, clean, comfortable. We will for sure rent again!
We had a lovely time at this beautiful house! It’s on a busier road but is such an easy walk to the beach, ice cream, and the tiki bar across the street :). Carol was great to work with and gave a ton of recommendations! The view from the master room with the deck is so beautiful so make sure whoever stays in that room is open to having coffee and happy hour on the deck :). Thank you for opening up your home to us!
Look no further than this beautiful home. Going on vacation is always a treat and when you stay in an upscaled condo, it makes it just that much better. This home was tastefully decorated and had everything we could want or need. It is located close to the beach so that was a real treat. We loved the balcony off the master bedroom. Susan was easy to work with and was quick to respond to my questions. We will rent with her again anytime :) Thank you, Susan.

Sharing our home with you and your group was our pleasure. We love the balcony as well, glad you did. Thank you for such kind words. Glad you enjoyed your vacation and happy we could be part of it.
Lovely home with 4 full baths. Plenty of space for 10 people. Comfortable beds!
Did have some delays with communication via Vrbo messaging. Discovered that text messaging directly to owner’s phone was the best option and responses were very timely.
Would suggest using the available programmable keyless entry instead of a single key in a combination lockbox. The keyless entry locks can easily be reprogrammed for each renter; some even remotely.

Kay - We did add keyless entry this season. Thank you for the suggestion.

House was clean upon arrival.
Communication with host was great-
We had a group of 9
Parking was TIGHT for 3 vehicles-
Also the palm trees “bled” on the the cars (very hard to remove the sap)
We didn’t have ice or refrigerator water (in door- ) but no big deal
Plenty of hot water for all 9 of us
View of beach very limited but it was a very short walk to get there
Noise level was ok
Didn’t have any safety concerns
A few windows serve restaurants within walking distance
Not easy to exit driveway due to traffic- but some people were nice enough to hold traffic for us to back out
Not 1,000 things to do before leaving - just basically trash out and run dishwasher

Great location but cleanliness and amenities need improvement
We have visited Carolina Beach several times. This was our first time staying at this property. The location was very nice (convenient to beach and dining) and was definitely the highlight, however, we found that the cleanliness was lacking and that the amenities indicated in the description were not provided as described.
The first evening we used the tub for the children, we found that it was not draining properly. Upon closer inspection, we found a fist sized hair clog. We found dead flies, dust bunnies, etc. on the windowsills, hairs on some of the linens, and so forth.
We were advised that starters would be provided for dish soap, detergents, etc. We were provided two dish pods and two garbage bags, but there was no laundry detergent, no liquid dish detergent, etc.
Other amenities were sparse: we were provided one bath towel for each person, there was no soap or other products in the baths or showers, etc. In other properties we have stayed at, these things were provided.

Thank you for your update. We have changed our cleaners & their checklist.
My friends and I had a wonderful stay at this property. It was clean and comfortable. The owner was super communicative. Location in relation to the beach can’t be beat!
Had a great girls weekend here. Super easy walk to the beach and plenty of room for all of us to gather in the common areas. Sit back and relax and enjoy the views from the balcony.
House was very clean inside. Beds are very comfortable. Kitchen was good just needs pot holders
We had a nice time. The outside decks were very nice to sit on in the morning and evening. Close to a lot of restaurants and right across the street from the beach.
Great property located directly across the street from the beach and close to restaurants and shops Home is very spacious for family to spread out and be comfortable. Noise levels are very low and traffic is light in the morning. The check in process was very easy and the owner was available if needed.
We had a great getaway and truly enjoyed the location, decor, and cleanliness. The owner was very responsive to our questions. We plan to be back again!
This home is beautiful and inviting! Even with the rain, there was plenty of entertainment in the home to keep us busy. Everything you could need to cook with in the kitchen and the perfect location. Beautiful and clean! Would definitely book here again! Wonderful home!
We had a wonderful family visit to the beach and really enjoyed the property. Susan and Eric were excellent, very friendly, welcoming and prompt with responses. We would rent the property again! Thank you!
