The property was great! My mother in law can’t bend her knee and the stairs were a bit of surprise. But it was in excellent condition, clean, and a great location!

Thank you for the kind review. We're glad Hooked On Swordfish was clean, in excellent condition, and in a great location. We understand the stairs were an unexpected challenge — we’ll make the listing and pre-arrival information clearer about that. We appreciate the feedback and hope to host you again.

Overall we had a great stay, house was exactly what we expected and about a 5 minute walk to the beach. A lot of space in the house, clean, fully stocked kitchen, plenty of bath towels provided, as well as pool towels, parking for all 3 of our large vehicles, some beach stuff provided, great outdoor shower. We did run into a couple problems, we noticed ants in the kitchen the first night, I contacted the management company the next morning and they sent someone out to spray, but we did see ants the entire time. The a/c also went out the day before we had to leave, the owner came out and fixed it and put portable a/c units in the bedrooms, so luckily we didn’t suffer too long. The wifi is terrible, almost non functioning and the mattresses are extremely uncomfortable, some new mattresses would be great. Overall, the owner was great and attentive, so we would stay again.

Thank you for staying at Hooked On Swordfish and for the thoughtful review. We’re glad the home, location, and amenities worked well and that the owner was responsive during your stay. We’re sorry you encountered ants — coastal properties can experience pests; this property is on a regular pest control program and it was treated after you reported it. We also hate you ran into issues during your stay but are glad our team was able to resolve them. Thank you again for your comments — we’d welcome the opportunity to host you again.

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.

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.

I would not recommend staying at this location. The AC was broken and when we realized it was broken they told us there were no window units available to put in. The unit was freezing over and the gentleman who came to fix it said it's been broken for a while. The next day I had to talk to the manager to tell them that may need to figure out how to put some window units in because it was 87 while we were all trying to sleep. They finally got window units to put in the bedrooms but they had none to put in the kitchen area so it was 85 the rest of the time there. The house was not clean. The bathrooms were filthy and had many spots that looked like dried pee. There was old food on the floor such as ramen noodles that we never even ate while we were there. There was mold on the bathroom vents that caused us to wake up very stuffy. There were also ants in the kitchen.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your stay did not meet expectations. When we were notified of the air conditioning issue, we immediately dispatched an HVAC technician to the property and worked to provide solutions as quickly as possible. ile temporary window units were secured for the bedrooms, we understand the home's temperature remained uncomfortable and regret the impact this had on your stay. We are also concerned by your comments regarding cleanliness and maintenance. The conditions you described are not reflective of our standards, and your feedback has been shared with our housekeeping and maintenance teams for further review and corrective action. We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention. Guest feedback helps us identify opportunities to improve, and we are sorry we fell short during your visit.

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.
