Our extended family enjoyed this wonderful house on the beach! There were 13 of us (8 adults and 5 kids) and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time in Carolina Beach. Check in was very smooth with the lockbox entry and there were 4 additional keys inside that we could use during our stay. We all loved swimming in the pool and spending time at the beach that is only steps away! The setup of the house was excellent and truly had everything that you would need - beach chairs, shade for the beach, towels, sand toys, coolers, pool inflatables, boogie boards, and more. The kitchen was large and was well equipped with plates, glasses, plates, cookware, slow cooker, air fryer, etc. We also used the gas grill that was available for use. There are amazing views of the ocean from each level of the house and large balconies to enjoy the view from. We also enjoyed going to the Aquarium at Fort Fisher, Carolina Beach State Park, went near shore fishing, and checked out the nearby shops and restaurants. Melinda (host) was always very responsive and detailed to any questions that we had. Thank you for everything! We truly enjoyed our stay!
