What a well laid-out, decorated, and supplied home just steps from the beach! We gather each summer as 3 families of friends with kids and this has been our favorite. Jimmy was always quick to respond, provided helpful information sheets both before our stay and for our time in the house, and did a thorough walk-through of the home when we arrived.
The house was immaculate and provided everything we could need including paper products, cleaning supplies, kitchen appliances and useful items like aluminum foil and spices, binders with local information, a basket with things like a spare pair of reading glasses, and more! So much thought has went into these details! And we loved the garage full of organized, amazing items such as adult bikes, 10+ beach chairs, sand toys, 6+ boogie boards, a grill (my husband wants one like it now:), and more!
The layout of the house was so helpful as we could divide up between families. There are a lot of stairs between 3 floors but the elevator was so helpful and we were thankful that it has many safety features and is inspected annually. The balconies are beautiful and a peaceful way to escape and see the ocean a block away.
The location was perfect to be able to access the beach! A wonderful beach access is just down a 1/2 block, over a block and Jimmy provided two beach carts and we could access it (even with kids!) in less than 5 minutes. That part of the beach is calmer, too, away from the pier.
You can access Carolina Beach and it's activities in 5 minutes (or a short bike ride)! We enjoyed things such as taking the Ft. Fisher ferry to Southport, walking the boardwalk in Carolina Beach (Brit's Doughnuts!), taking a pirate cruise in Wrightsville Beach (35 min away), and more! Such a lovely location with both peace and activity and what a gem of a place to explore it from! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
