The property is super cute and very well appointed. It’s in a great location walking distance to restaurants, bars and the beach. We had a small snafu with initially getting into the house but Jen was quick to respond and rectify the issue. We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Jen for sharing your beautiful home with us.

The flying sea cow is truly a gem on Carolina Beach. My wife and I visited for a little over a week and the place was perfect for the two of us. The kitchen is very well stocked and even came with some condiments and spices. The location truly can’t be beat. Just a couple of blocks from the amusement rides and beach and also only a short bike ride to Carolina Beach State Park. We really enjoyed having the bikes and beach chairs included. We had such an amazing time. We hope to come back again next summer!

Flying Sea Cow was clean, well lit, well explained, well guided, and we were well received as was our pet. Communication with the owner was excellent, her provisions for linked digital guide for rules, check in, check out, guide to the area and so much more was the best I have had of all the properties we have stayed at. We will be back. The location is phenomenal. Bikes were excellent provision. This home is so well stocked for your every need, it was so impressive, I took photos to help us if we ever have to make a property into a vrbo...VRBO is lucky to have this listing. Thank you Flying Sea Cow!

Great cottage and great locations! It is a very short walk to the beach and many other restaurants and attractions in Carolina Beach. CB is a great beach town with a great vibe. It's not as crazy and built up as some other places on the coast. The town hosts fireworks every Thursday in the summer! The cottage has everything for a nice beach vacation with lots of info available via QR codes. The host was very responsive to messages.
