It was a great stay and a great condo! Only a few things I'd call out: The laundry room door would not stay closed which was in the walkway to the living room. I had to lean the step ladder against it to keep it closed. The main bedroom has no shades so it's very bright at 6am. Lastly, one of the twin beds was very squeaky and squeaked with every move. Other than that, the place was great!

The condo was in a great location, easy access. However it needs updated. There was a “wet dog” smell in the condo, the screen slider was difficult to open and close, a missing folding door to the laundry closet which cause the other folding door to not close and kept opening in the kitchen. The neighboring condo(s) smoked outside on their deck so it was annoying to have to breathe it.

Great location, awesome amenities, and very clean!

Everything was pretty on point with this condo - location was perfect, very clean interior, lots of great amenities (the pool and downstairs storage area were clutch). The only slight critique I would give is that the master bed is definitely not a king, as it’s advertised. Truthfully, I don’t even think it’s a queen, it felt more like a full. Other than that, we really enjoyed the space! Perfect for families with small kids.

Disappointed that have to walk far to the beach. Only one access. Had knee replacement and was a bit too much. The twin beds were not come at all. Rolled toward the middle. Overall a good stay.

Thank you for your review. We apologize for the inconvenience with the beach access and the twin beds. We strive to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all our guests. This is a first floor unit that has access to an elevator to take you to the ground level. From there, you have to walk through the pool area and you are at the shared beach access. Your feedback is valuable, and we will use it to improve our services. We hope you had an overall good stay with us and that the challenges did not detract too much from your experience. We hope you allow us the opportunity to host you in the future!

Great stay

This was our first time to Carolina beach and we were not disappointed. The rental was excellent. Very clean and plenty of room for a family of 5. Check in and out was a breeze and we had zero issues with the property. We loved how everything was so close to our room. We were able to get to our car, pool, and beach within a matter of minutes. We can’t wait to plan our next trip here! 100% recommend this property.
