Sea Monster is a lovely home with outstanding views plus many other amenities. It housed our entire family of 13 with room to spare. Kitchen is well supplied with a variety of cooking utensils and pans. Part of our group used the pool and others preferred the beach and both were readily available. If I had any complaints, it would be that neither the pool or the rinse station had been serviced from the winter shut-down prior to our arrival. Maintenance came the second day of our stay and remedied that, but we lost some pool time. Another issue was the inventory list. I had called prior to arrival to ask what type of coffee pot (Keurig vs drip) and was told Keurig. We purchased a variety of K-cups for our weeks stay only to find the only pots were drip! I immediately reached out (on Easter Sunday) and was promised a Keurig would arrive the next day. Miraculously, either Amazon or God had 2 new Keurigs at our door by 8:30am on Monday! Very impressive and greatly appreciated! We would love to return again

Thank you for staying with Carolina Getaway! We’re so glad to hear that Sea Monster was a great fit for your family and that you enjoyed the spacious layout, well-stocked kitchen, and easy access to both the pool and beach. We do apologize for the inconvenience with the pool and rinse station not being ready upon arrival, but we’re glad our maintenance team was able to get everything taken care of quickly. We also appreciate you bringing the coffee maker mix-up to our attention, and we’re happy we could get the Keurigs delivered promptly so you could enjoy the rest of your stay. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback—we truly appreciate it and would love to host you and your family again in the future!

Remodeled! I feel like pointing out the biggest feature first is the most important. The entire house has been remodeled. Excellent layout for us, with 2 full bathrooms on the ground floor (1ensuite) and a big living room with tv, access to the garage which has a refrigerator. This was perfect for the teens in our group. On the 2nd level is the rest of the main living space large sofa and 4 comfy chairs, kitchen fully stocked with pots pans utensils etc, dining (seating for 10). Two more bedrooms with en-suite baths and walk in showers. Another full bath that’s the main guest bathroom with an adjacent bedroom with a queen. Then the 6th bedroom is really tiny with 4 bunks (we didn’t use) but would be great I’m imagining for younger kids? Lots of impact windows and the sliders letting in a ton of sunshine! Without overheating the house. A/C worked great. Washer and dryer was convenient. A small convenience store and bagels and ice cream store is a couple house down. I know reading older reviews it can be confusing but there’s definitely interior access to both floors.The beach view is amazing! There’s beach improvements happening as of April 2026. A minor inconvenience as direct access to the beach over a big pipe is in front of the house.The pool heater works great! There’s a total of 3 umbrellas for shade, 1 by the pool, 2 more on the decks. And I noticed pop up canopies in the garage by the beach chairs. But also by 3-4pm most of the deck is shaded by the house.

Thank you for staying with Carolina Getaway! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share such a detailed review and are so glad to hear the remodeled home, layout, and amenities worked perfectly for your group. It’s great to know the multiple living spaces, updated kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms made your stay enjoyable—especially for families with teens. We’re happy you enjoyed the natural light, strong A/C, convenient location, and of course those amazing beach views. We also appreciate your note about the temporary beach access changes due to ongoing improvements and are glad it was only a minor inconvenience. It’s wonderful to hear the pool heater, shaded areas, and extra amenities like umbrellas and beach gear added to your experience. We’d love to welcome you back again soon!
