We had a nice time staying at Doodles Place and escaping the record snowfall in upstate NY. House was bright and decorated nicely. Porches were lovely to sit out on and gates everywhere was a plus for our small dog and toddler grand baby. Location is close the Carolina Beach boardwalk and shoppes. Could be a bit noisy being so close to the bridge but it wasn’t a problem for us. Kitchen was well equipped although the pots were unstable, they shook and moved around on the stovetop. The downstairs suite had a renter, he was friendly and curious but you could hear the tv and every conversation. It didn’t affect our sleeping hours so we were ok with it but worth noting. Fans in all of the bedrooms were a nice addition. The upstairs air conditioner wasn’t working, we called & a repairman came over the same day to fix it which was impressive being on a weekend. Backyard had lots of toys and places to play plus the hot tub which was a big hit.
We loved this property so much! Great space for our family as we travel yo Carolina Beach often. My only suggestion would be lighting for the back deck & yard. Outside lights nor flood lights didn’t work so unable to use this space. We did use the hot tub, it was very nice! Hopefully we can stay there again on our next visit to Carolina Beach!
Doodles Place was very nice from the start. When we pulled up, the home was so cute and nicely decorated. Plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed the swing on the front porch, walks to the pier, and the short drive to the beach. The closest beach is only a 5-6 min drive. They have Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Fort Fisher. We suggest paying for 24 hour parking if you head to Carolina Beach and park near the boardwalk (by the ferris wheel). The home had everything we needed for our week stay as they thought of it all. Every room has a fan and sound machine for anyone who needs it. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were perfect to the point I am going to buy a few for our home. We wish we had more time to enjoy the area even more, but time got the best of us. We ended our vacation heading to Island Bagels to grab some bagels and sandwiches for our ride home.
My only suggestion for the home is to upgrade the pots. I made a pasta dish and once the water started to boil the pot kept moving making the hot water splash out. No big deal, but something to take into consideration.
If your looking for a home away from home, this is for you.
