Reviewer Comments:
Had a great experience this year. From check in to check out. Would definitely stay at this home or book through Carolina Shores again.
Great location. Close to everything. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen and living room were smaller than the pictures made it seem. Pool was great but slippery going in! Hopefully they put a rail in the shallow end. Kitchen was well stocked.

Great location and awesome backyard/ pool area. House wasn’t clean and construction workers watching us from next door wouldn’t allow us to use the backyard area. Disappointing for the amount of money spent.

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed our first family vacation in OBX. We were generally pleased with the house but there somethings that need to be noted that lessened our rating:- first day there was sand in the pool along the edges the first day but was otherwise clean.- didn’t like the note that the AC shouldn’t be placed below 71- the master bedroom door in need of attention, it makes a horrible sound when closing and hard to shut, disturbing anyone asleep when entering room As well as the Masterbath door, drags and hard latch-the walls in the 2 corners of living room where the chairs are need some type of protection from chairs, impossible to prevent rubbing the walls. - with a house that sleeps so many should consider another couch or seating in the LR- thankfully a thumbtack of some sort was found under the cabana and no one stepped on before being found- the crows nest off the 3rd floor needs some attention, first time someone walked out onto the deck a board broke, so for the rest of the stay we stayed off off for safety. The Maintenence worker responded quickly and had board fixed as soon as our schedule allowed (babies napping) That one broken board could have very easily hurt my daughter and could not be enjoyed during our stay- No information was given in reference to the key location for access to the outside storage building for the pool amenities nor the combo to deck box- Those items may be enough to look elsewhere next year, unlikely to refer a friend to this location due to those items as wellThe artificial turf in the pool was a fantastic addition and Gbababies loved the play areaCarolina Shores Reality was great helping me through the first time process of renting a house, very polite when picking up out check-in packet and responded very quickly to the deck issues 5⭐️ for them-Respectfully ,The B’s
