The location was perfect, 2-3 minute walk to the beach. Outside shower was very convenient to ensure sand/debris from the beach was washed off before entering the house. The real plus to our stay was the quietness of the neighborhood and the perfectly working air conditioning. We would definitely stay at this property again in the future. Thank you Delaine and Larry for your prompt response to our inquiries and being a fantastic host!

Family Affair

This was a good find. The cottage was clean and had two sizable bedrooms with two bathrooms (which is a must for parents with an 18 year-old son). Excellent location. Very close to the beach and walkable to Carolina Beach restaurants. Pretty well equipped kitchen. Just enough space to spread out.

Clean, great location, vintage cottage

Very clean and well stocked cottage with super easy access to beach. The walk to beach was closer than some of our previous beach front houses. Twin and queen beds were comfortable. Loved the outdoor shower. First time at Carolina beach and we found it fun and entertaining with good surfing waves.

Great little house!

Great house in a great location! Large yard we used for family games & patio area for gathering/chatting. Very short walk to the beach, which was perfect. Delaine & Larry were very helpful & responded quickly to any questions. Ate at Michaels & The Tikki bar, both had good food & Service. Played miniature golf at Shipwreck Neon miniature golf, which was fun on a rainy day. Perfect place to stay!

Excellent - would stay again

Layout of home and location were superb. Communication with homeowners was prompt and courteous. Very clean, we had everything we needed. Adequate toilet paper and paper towels, dish soap, laundry detergent, towels; plenty of parking; outdoor space and seating was great - we ate at the picnic table in the shade each evening; grill was nice addition to space. Outdoor hose and shower at the back door helped with cleanliness. Air conditioner was excellent -even at a 72 degree setting, it was plenty cool.

Great location

The Sea Shack was in an excellent location. The beach is right across the street, short walk to the beach. All one level, nice backyard and plenty of parking. The kitchen has plenty of pots/pans, plates utensils etc and plenty of towels/washcloths for bathing. The pictures match the property. The owners are very responsive. The only thing I would recommend is having an additional key in the lockbox or add a code lock so when others aren’t coming back to the house at the same time it would be nice to have an extra key to give them or they could use a code. Overall great property and I would definitely stay again!

An amazing family-friendly stay steps from the beach

It's hard to overstate how much we enjoyed our stay here. The house was meticulously clean and well-appointed, with nice little touches like having fresh kitchen towels and sponges ready for us. The layout of the house makes the house seem much bigger than it is, and it was great to have the dedicated dining space for the kids. The shower out back and clothesline for drying were perfect for when you get back from the beach, which you'll go to a lot! You could hardly be closer, with a public entrance across the street. That stretch of beach was never unpleasantly crowded, even on a beautiful Saturday. Most people wouldn't walk to either Carolina Beach Boardwalk or Kure Pier from there, but both are just a very short drive away, along with the Aquarium, Fort Fisher, and the State Park. The check-in code worked with no troubles and everything in the apartment was in good repair. The grill even seemed brand new. This will definitely be our go-to spot for our next trip to Carolina Beach!
