Beautiful duplex with private pool

Perfect for large family or friends. Beautifully furnished with lots of space and comfortable bedding. Short walk to the beach and close to area dining and entertainment. Only issue would be there are quite a few stairs so probably not suitable for someone with compromised health or stamina.

Spring Trip

We had a great time in Carolina Beach coming from the northeast to thaw out a bit. The house was exactly what we needed. The pool was a hit and the ease of access to the beach and fun local attractions were perfect. Couldn’t have wanted more.

Relax and Recharge

Our stay was very nice. The house was beautiful and clean. It was close to the ocean and had beautiful views. The pool was an extra bonus. The neighborhood was quiet. It was also close to all of things we wanted to do in Carolina Beach. The only downfall was the beds were very uncomfortable but we made the best of it because the house was perfect otherwise for our family.

This place was such a great stay! I had a vball tournament and my team and myself stayed there. Very relaxing. Great area, short walk to the beach and there are a few walking restaurants along with several within a 5 min drive. A few things to make your trip even better- Bring extra blankets. Each of the beds was made but there are not any throws if you want to go read a book on the couch, etc.. The pool is shared with whom ever rents the other side. During our stay there was a lot of young kids so we did not go in it. I dont believe it is heated so prepare for a chill if you do not go in during the day. These are not complaints, the place was great and would stay again!

Place was exactly what the ad said it was, no more no less. Had all the beach toy , chairs, and boogie boards and beach cart amenities you could ask for in the storage closet. Outdoor lights were out when we got there. They fixed them next day swiftly. The ac on 3rd floor stopped working, they were there same day and fixed swiftly. The pool. It should have been cleaned that Tuesday during our visit, but was not. We had to deal w the sand and dirt from the previous tenants. That did not get serviced until Friday afternoon and we had left already. That’s my only complaint. Other than that. All good and great place..short walk to the beach.

Carolina beach, Swordfish

The home is in fairly good condition. Rather outdated. But very clean and decently equipped. The washer/ dryer were quite old and worked poorly. The mattresses all need replacements. The refrigerator was in poor repair. And the biggest disappointment was the pool, which was our of service the entire stay. That was the sole reason for renting that unit. We were never notified. And other renters were only notified the night before. Quite disappointing

Not really an upscale experience

I booked this place specifically for the pool. I have a 3 yr old grandson who loves the water and it’s much easier to keep an eye on him in the pool as opposed to the beach. The pool was unusable (the pump had been broken for months according to the neighbor). By the end of our stay, the pool was filthy and filled with sand crabs. In addition, the place has 2G internet so don’t expect to watch tv or do any work on your computer. There were only 2 pillows per bed and no blankets—just a sheet and the bedspread—hardly upscale. One tub did not have a stopper, so couldn’t bath my grandson in it. The garbage cans were full when we arrived and covered with flys! Would not stay here again.
