We had such a wonderful stay at this beach property. The new owners are absolutely amazing—responsive, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about creating a great guest experience. We can’t wait to see what they do with the place and will definitely be renting again.

Gorgeous & well-maintained home! Excellent communication from the new owners Frank & Lauren. Minor issues with some things not available/broken in the house (from prior owners) but notified new owners & they were quick to respond & mitigate. The walk to beach is perfect and on a quiet street, perfect for my children ranging from 17-4 years old. Front decks were so relaxing with lovely views of the ocean and the side semi-enclosed porch was perfect for the evening sunsets. Plenty of family board games, Xbox games, and movies. The house was cleaned perfectly and waiting for our early arrival. The proximity to Food Lion is less than 1 minute making grocery shopping super convenient. We look forward to seeing what changes/improvements are completed and we will absolutely be back again!

Danielle, we loved hearing how much your entire family enjoyed Southern Charm! From relaxing on the front decks to watching the sunset from the side porch, it sounds like you made the most of what makes the home so special. We’re especially happy that the short walk made getting children of all ages and everything a family carries to and from the beach...so much easier. Thank you as well for communicating so openly with us about the few items that needed attention as we took over the property. Your feedback was incredibly valuable, and we’ve already been busy making updates, with more improvements on the way. We want Southern Charm to be more than a beautiful beach house; it should be warm, comfortable, and fully functional so families can prepare the meals they enjoy at home and settle in together. We know people look forward to these vacations for a long time, and it’s important to us that the home provides everything needed to make lasting memories. A special shout-out to our wonderful co-host, Michelle, whose cleaning company made sure the house was spotless and ready for your early arrival! She’s an important part of the Southern Charm team, and we’re lucky to have her. Thank you again for being such terrific guests. We can’t wait to welcome your family back and show you everything that’s new!

The house sold after I booked our vacation in March. Fortunately, the process to rebook with the new owner was not as stressful as I thought. There were some issues that needed tweaking but in the end, everything worked out. The new Host is very friendly and made sure all the original booking prices were kept the same. A grill was listed as an amenity but none was on the property. Everything else was the same as when we have stayed in the past. This home needs a couple of things replaced, and repaired and hopefully the new owners will take care of them. We will stay at Southern Charm again in the future as long as the weekly rate isnt raised too high. This is a cottage and is a much smaller home compared to the other homes on Ocean View Drive. It is the right size for us (4 adults, 2 children). Use of the community pool is also nice, which is a short drive. This was the 3rd year in a row we have stayed at Southern Charm. Affordability and convenience are what makes this home perfect for us.

Beverly, it was a pleasure welcoming you as our very first guest at Southern Charm! We truly appreciate the trust you placed in us during the ownership transition, and we’re glad we could make the rebooking process straightforward while honoring all the pricing and terms of your original reservation. Thank you as well for your honest and direct feedback. Your comments helped us identify the repairs, replacements, and amenities, including the missing grill, that needed our immediate attention. We purchased Southern Charm because we love its comfortable cottage feel, convenient beach access, and ability to provide families with an affordable and memorable vacation. Preserving those qualities as we improve the home is very important to us. Knowing this was your third consecutive year at Southern Charm makes your feedback especially meaningful. Thank you for your patience as we learned the property and began making it our own. We would love to welcome you and your family back for a fourth year!

We were one of the initial renters after the new owners purchased the property. Their communication was phenomenal, and they were great hosts who honored our previous rental arrangements. What truly impressed us was that they checked in with us during the week and solicited our honest feedback for ways that they could improve the home and experience. We supplied them a plethora of items, although they were small “nice to haves”, as the home was absolutely beautiful and well appointed as it was. The house itself is literally 45 steps from the beach, a perfect location. If you have small children, family members who can’t get around well, or you just want a short walk to the beach this is the house for you. The grocery store is a couple of blocks away, Avon is a cute, quiet community! The pool is also very easy to access, and is not very busy and very clean. Our party consisted of four adults and three teenage girls, and I have to say that every single one of us was absolutely pleased and impressed with the stay, plenty of privacy, but lots of opportunity to interact. There are plenty of beach chairs & an umbrella, beach, toys, beach towels, bathroom towels, you do not need to bring a thing! Seafood market was phenomenal, you cannot go wrong with this location, book it now! PS: bring bug spray, the mosquitoes were not nice in early August! (Only disclaimer!) Enjoy!

Rhea, thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review! It was truly a pleasure hosting you and your family as some of the first guests under our ownership of Southern Charm. We especially appreciate how generous you were with your honest and helpful feedback. Your suggestions have already helped us make a number of improvements, and we’re continuing to make the home even better for future guests. Most importantly, we’re thrilled that Southern Charm gave your family the right balance of space to relax privately and plenty of opportunities to spend time together. Thank you again for trusting us with your vacation and for being such wonderful guests. We would absolutely love to welcome you and your family back...hopefully with fewer mosquitoes next time!
