It was a perfect stay. We fell in love with the house and really enjoyed the pool and movie theater. We went to the state park very close by, the aquarium, the Kure Beach pier, and miniature golfing to name a few things. We loved the Christmas theme and the one thing that we all agreed upon is that we need to stay longer next time. Maryjo and hubby were the perfect hosts.

This was the best experience we’ve had when staying in someone’s else’s home. The owners have thought of everything someone would need in their vacation. This home is so beautiful and welcoming. The area is perfect. Super close to all the stores and beaches. My family is looking to returning next year.

Perfect spot for family vacation!

We had an incredible stay here! The house might be even cleaner than the pictures indicate. It is spotless and so well appointed. The outdoor space is huge with so much to do. We might make this a yearly trip!

When we arrived, the place was nice and clean, it smelled like a cozy Christmas morning, and the decorations were amazing! I felt like a kid running around and turning everything on to see what it did! Lol thank you no I told him OK. Can you go on my eyes feathers? They might have come over on the side. It hurts when you’re walkingWe will definitely be there staying again. MJ was so responsive and thoughtful. My daughter had a bit of trouble sleeping because the cars were a little loud at night, but the neighborhood overall, was very quiet. We didn’t have any issues at all. The pool was beautiful and clean. The cinema room was very cool and we really enjoyed watching a movie in there! The house was really well stocked and we did end up doing some cooking there. We had everything we needed and more!

Wonderful place to stay

The home is perfect for a family getaway. The home is exactly as advertised. I was able to walk to the beach. My kids loved the Christmas decorations. Easy communication with property owner. We really enjoyed the pool and the movie room. The home is well stocked when we first arrived and we did not have to immediately go to the store. We will be back for sure.

So festive!

Our group consisted of me, my husband and 9 year old son, and my parents. We absolutely loved the Christmas decorations. It was so festive and fun. We celebrated Christmas in July with movies in the theater and lots of swimming. The outdoor lights were great and my son loved night swimming. The house had everything we could have needed. I definitely overpacked! I highly recommend this property. The host was super communicative and friendly. We are already thinking of visiting again.

Perfect for us...

We were looking for a 3bed - 3 bath home...There were two available at the time we booked. I knew the Christmas feel would appeal to a few in the group and decided to book this home. I'm really glad we did. The home, the pool, the location was everything we were hoping for. The Christmas feel doesn't overpower your senses after being in the home a while. In fact I kinda of enjoyed it as the week went on. The home was well stocked with everything you'd want for the week. We brought our bikes and it was an easy ride to the beach. Might have walked if it wasn't the middle of summer...If we ever get back to the area this home will be first place I'll look to rent.

I’m originally from a small town upstate NY…been down south since 2000, and couldn’t be happier.

Why they chose this property

We choose Carolina beach because it was our goal for the past 25 years. Such a great little island. From any spot on the island, it’s an easy walk or bike ride our beautiful sandy beach.
