What a great vacation thanks to VRBO. Property description was spot on and the house was really nicely appointed. Loved the rooftop deck! Kitchen was small but well equipped for our needs. I liked the ease of the keyless entry. VRBO is easy to use and Bryant was very responsive to our questions. If our vacation party remains at the same number, I'd use this cottage again. If we need a bigger place, we will return to VRBO. My daughter and I have used them for a few years now and it couldn't be easier. ##### Sylvia R.

The location to the beach was awesome, and the rooftop deck was a favorite. Unfortunately there was construction on the huge house next door, and we woke up to hammering every morning. Obviously this won’t always be the case, and this house is such a gem & a little hideout. The size was perfect for us. We had some hiccups checking in as the property was still being cleaned and we weren’t able to get in until almost two hours past check in time. It was remedied with an extended check out time. We missed having a grill to cook, and the kitchen was a bit small but we made it work. We would definitely consider this house again :) ##### Marti D.

Reviewer Comments: Location was great. Owners were easy to work with. Check in/out was simple. Check out time was fairly early considering check in time is 3pm. The home could be updated a bit. Home was dirty. Found lots of dead roaches throughout the home. Also found a condom wrapper in one bedroom and used condom in another. ##### April S.

I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House has lots of character and liked the one level feel. The amenities were just slightly lacking compared to other house that we have stayed in the area for the last 6 years, this includes inside and outside amenities. We purchased and left about 6 beach chairs for the next people that stay. The location was great as it was in the middle between Kure Beach and CB, also the beach was not super crowded for being closer to the high rises. I do have to say though that the mattresses were all pretty much uncomfortable as we had people in all the beds. If the mattresss were updated that we would stay again next year. Let me know if you update them. ##### Morgan D. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2017 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer K. 21 Jun 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### On the beach Our family stayed here Memorial Day weekend. The house is much bigger than it looks. Plenty of beds for our big crowd. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our own meals. The living room had plenty of comfy seating for hanging out It is a one mile walk to the pier, by sand or by road. There is a roof top deck but we didn’t really utilize it. It is really hot during the day and very open so no privacy from the neighbors. There is no beach view from inside the house, which is a bit disappointing. But it is right in the beach. The walkway was recently redone and looks great. There is an outdoor shower which is great after a long sandy day at the beach. We did have an issue with bugs. When we arrived there were several dead water bugs in some of the rooms. During our stay we encountered several more which was a bit unsettling. The house was big enough to house our big family and being on the beachfront was a huge plus. The only downside was no beach views from inside and the bugs. Otherwise very satisfied. ##### Jennifer K. Stayed 3 nights in May 2020 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Christopher G. 7 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good times was great times. This house was the perfect size for our group... Two adult couples, one adult by herself, and a 3 year old. We ended up not even using the kids room, but it was a good place to stash a lot of our luggage. Highlights: - The house was super clean. - The house is perfectly located... easy walk to the pier (to the south) or Carolina Beach shops/restaurants (to the north). - The communities across the street are really nice to walk/run through... for a longer walk/run, it’s really easy to get to the Carolina Beach Greenway. - The bedrooms get really dark which was awesome on days we wanted to sleep in. - Lots of space to eat for big family meals. - The rooftop balcony was awesome (except for the caveat below) - Really easy to get on and off the beach. We never really even bothered to take a cooler to the beach because it was so easy to run back to the house and grab another drink. Couple of downsides, which probably couldn’t have been avoided... - We noticed ants in the kitchen and the main bathroom as soon as we walked in. However, the rental office had an exterminator out to spray for them in less than 24 hours after we called. -We all got really bit up by various bugs on our first night up on the rooftop balcony. We bought a few citronella candles after that and it seemed to help some. We would definitely stay again! ##### Christopher G.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really liked this house. It was very spacious and the kitchen was just big enough to cook all of our meals and to store all of our essential food items. We were VERY IMPRESSED that it came with a good blender!The bedrooms were great and had plenty of storage. The living room was nice and bright, with lots of space. We liked the outdoor shower and porch, as this helped us hose down all of the sand and the kids before entering the house.The view from the top deck was great and we were able to see the Carolina Beach fireworks from our little boardwalk. Being on the beach was wonderful, especially with three young kids and lots of gear.The neighborhood was quiet and clean. The one service call I did make got addressed immediately and I was very happy with the service.The only suggestion would be to replace the mattress in the master bedroom with a harder one. We woke up with sore backs and after two days we switched the mattress in the master bedroom with the one in the adjoining bedroom and what a difference! No more sore backs and a great night's sleep! We would definitely recommend this to people with young kids and look forward to visiting again in the future. ##### Michael L.

I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband grew up coming to his grandparents beach house at Carolina Beach. This was our first vacation as a family here, and his opportunity to share his childhood experiences with us after 30 years. It has changed a lot, but still feels like home to him. This is a great vacation home that is much larger than what he grew up coming to, but it was a great place to start new traditions. It was clean, great location, kitchen well supplied, BEAUTIFUL view from the deck, quiet beach, great view of the Thurs night fireworks from the beach walkway, nice sized living room for 8 people to relax and enjoy family time, family enjoyed visiting Fort Fisher, the Aquarium, The Boardwalk, Bowman's Seafood (Don't miss this great restaurant for a traditional type seafood experience - we like hushpuppies and fried fish, don't waste your time or money at Michaels), Britt's Donuts, etc... at Carolina Beach... However, there are a few upgrades that would make a HUGE improvement: NEW MATTRESSES (at least 10 years overdue!), window treatments in the bedrooms (blinds were very thin), new light fixtures and/or better lighting in the bedrooms (had to replace bulbs and remove the fixtures in the dark bedrooms to be able to see). Overall this is a wonderful vacation home. With the few mentioned improvements, it would be AWESOME!!! With new mattresses we will book again! ##### Greta B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2017 ---
