9/10.House was super cute and in a great location. Beds and couches were comfy, house was clean and well stocked. You’re only about 8 min from Carolina Beach and about 20ish minutes from downtown. Only issue was the WiFi not really ever connecting, though that was mentioned in the listing that it’s spotty. Also a little annoying to ask us to wash and put away towels before leaving. Cleaning fees should include that and since we didn’t have time to do it the morning of checkout, we did it the night before and we had no towels to use the morning we left. Just a small gripe.

Fantastic and cozy house conveniently located close to everything we needed. We loved this place so much that we’re coming back for a second time. It’s perfect for what both my friends and I (who did a fishing trip) and my wife and daughter need. I prefer that it’s in a quiet neighborhood and tucked away. We have the annual pass for fort fisher to drive on. Therefore we don’t need beach front.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Estep

Host profile image
I have tried to make this house very family friendly. Feel free to use the china in the hutch, beach towels, chairs in the back closet. I want you to feel at home when you walk in the door.

Why they chose this property

We love this house. It is only a few miles from the beach. Everything is close to this property. Your not stuck in one room, your family can be all together ! You can cook meals together, sit on the porch (one of my favorite things about the house)

What makes this property unique

We love the master bedroom and huge bathroom. The living room is pretty great too.
