Internet did not work but host will probably get the ISP to fix this, one of the showers doesn't get hot but I think this is another issue that the host will probably address with the plumber. Lawn was not cut so again a little tlc might improve things. We had to put 1 older adult in the upstairs childrens area which is cluttered but probably fun for little kids. ##### Frank H. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Erin S. 3 Jun 2024 Liked: Communication, location #### It was ok We picked this rental because it had a backyard space for kids to play. However within a couple minutes of being there my kids got stung by the wasps that live in the nest in the playground. The back porch was pretty dirty and table and chairs had more wasp nests. We went to use the charcoal grill but it was full of ashes and dirty and we had to clean everything. Inside was surface level clean but definitely could use a deep clean. Also, bring your own silverware because there are only 5 forks for the whole 5 bedroom house. ##### Erin S. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jane S. 19 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Wedding event The house was nice. A few issues that we saw was they listed and showed pictures of the movie projector and movies. There were no movies. The master bedroom had a tv was not hooked up to anything, It did have roku but I found the connector and original box in the bedside stand. The stove in the listing showed a glass top stove. the stove that is there is an old electric burner and the inside of the stove was dirty, looks like never cleaned and must of been switched out. Also mentioned early in the year, the doorknob to master bedroom is installed wrong, still had not been fixed. The 2 trash bins outside were filled, not sure if we were supposed to see that the trash collector picked them up. The pictures really need to be updated with the current items in the house. ##### Jane S. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean K. 6 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect family gathering place My 2-year-old grandson loved this place. Tons of outdoor spaces to run around in, climbing structures, and swings. Inside the entire upstairs was mostly geared towards young people and family time. The crib was a huge benefit...and the home being kid-friendly was a primary reason for choosing the house. With 2.5 bathrooms and five separate sleeping areas, there was space for all to be away from each other if desired. We were in town for a wedding and wanted a short drive time between the rehearsal dinner in Fuquay Varina, and the wedding venue at a castle in Angier. The Carolina House fulfilled our needs. The cost wasn't extravagant, and the amenities were not posh...it just felt like home. We wanted comfort and convenience and got both. A couple of minor fixes would enhance the property but we weren't paying Four Season hotel prices and didn't have lofty expectations. The home is comfortable and nice to have the added amenities of a w/d, movie projector (didn't use though), and the kid/toddler set up of crib, toys, and outdoor space. The cleaning crew was in the driveway right at check-out time and had to move their vehicle so we could get out, so be prepared for that...and in the age of bogus listings, etc., knowing that you won't get the "keys to the property" info until shortly before check-in time would be helpful. I was starting to panic if we had a legit place. Overall a pleasant, convenient stay. ##### Jean K.

Very easy to get to and from Lillington where the family is. house is very large and and can accommodate a large group.There was a nice welcome basket when we arrived.The master bathroom was set up nicely for guests.There were travel bottles of shampoo, lotion etc in both downstairs bathrooms but nothing in the upstairs bath. Here are the issues: 1. The televisions did not work - all of them. 2. There no movies for the movie projector; no game room per se accept for the loft area for children. 3. There is no hot tub or glass top stove 4. There is no leather lounger in the livingroom as the picture notes. 5. There are holes in the walls in every room where items were removed but walls not patched. 6. Screen door was completely gone but hardware there 7. floor was sticky so you couldn't walk barefoot. 8. Bins in loft against the wall were removed and sign laying against the wall (picture is different). 9. Empty bottle of hand wash in downstairs bathroom 10. no extra blankets or bath towels. sheets are polyester and keep popping off the mattress so every day you had to pull the bottom sheet back on to the mattress. 11. deck is full of moss; one of the steps is rotted; the deck table/chairs haven't been cleaned in forever. There are 3 dirty plastic adirondeck chairs; one broken 14. Window treatments gone; blind slats broken; clocks hadn't been set to daylight savings time ##### Judith S.

Here is my honest experience from my stay here. The good:: The house was clean and tidy They left two completely laundry pods Plenty of cookware, as well as towels, and wash rags. The bad: There was a previous review about a smell. I can confirm that, it was not awful but It reminded me of a house that possibly held water underneath. The water pressure was super low. It would’ve taken me an hour to get shampoo out of my hair and on top of that the water was lukewarm. My preference is good water pressure and a really hot shower after work and unfortunately I did not get that here, not a huge deal just FYI With me, being a female staying alone, I always check any extra doors and windows, the kitchen window was left unlocked. The Horrible: Something that made me feel extremely uncomfortable is the fact that every door knob in that house to include bedrooms and closets or put on correctly however, the master bedroom was put on backwards, so you could not lock it from the inside again me staying by myself I definitely would like to lock myself in the bedroom as added Safety. I had expressed to the homeowner via message that the master bedroom TV would only cut on with an information screen showing, but that was never actually resolved during my stay there so I have no TV to watch while getting ready for bed. Now what really upset me was the fact that I’ll leave for work at 5:30 in the morning no I did not check my phone but there was a message from the homeowners on this app stating that would it be OK for us to stop by this morning we need to remove the deep freezer from the home. Would I have been OK with this? Absolutely not this is my time and if the deep freezer needed to be removed because it was leaking that’s one thing, that’s something that should’ve been taken care of prior to my arrival or after I left. I didn’t see that message until 830 that night they had actually still let themselves in. They got the deep freezer but didn’t offer to fix the tv while there. I don’t think this would be a place I’d book for myself in the future. Thanks, ##### ANGEL J. Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Chanell D. 25 Apr 2025 ##### Chanell D.

Very cozy house in a quiet neighborhood. Close to anything you’d need. Renters are very communicative and professional! It felt like a fantastic blend of a cozy home to stay, and a hotel experience! ##### Conor M.

The property was roomy and well supplied. My families 4 toddlers had a fantastic time playing in the upstairs kids play room for hours. We used the overhead projector to entertain the kids with a childrens movie. If there had been a safety gate at the top of the stairs it would have been absolutely perfect. ##### Andrew R.
