The setting was beautiful, and the pool and hot tub added to our enjoyment of the ocean and beach. The house was large enough to sleep our entire group and it was great to have a second (top floor) family room with tvs and a pool table. We thoroughly enjoyed the large porches that faced the ocean. A couple of small issues that came up were handled quickly by Elliott Realty and the owner. I can highly recommend a stay at this property. ##### Robert B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Finally a place that worked for us!! Having an adult child with special needs and wheelchair bound we always struggle to find a home that both works for him and us. This house was perfect it was roomy for him and is easy access to the beach with a beach wheelchair and showers big enough for him to. If I had anything negative to say it would be the water pressure but that’s normal in rentals so not a deal breaker!!

We liked having the large family room areas to hang out in. The bedrooms were spacious and had the right configurations for us. We don't eat out a lot on vacation and the kitchen was perfect for our needs; all the equipment and accessories we needed and it was really well organized. The pool was great and we really enjoyed the easy beach access. Any minor issues we had were resolved quickly and efficiently with a phone call. We'll be back! ##### Jenny H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan S., Williamsville 12 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Better than the pictures!

My family has been vacationing in N Myrtle for the last few years, we love having a well-apponted home to meet our needs. The Carlisle met our expectations. from the main living area to the game room, the bathrooms in all the bedrooms were very nice and spacious. there were a few issues in the home, very minor, the beauty and amenities of the home canceled out any problems. We will definitely stay in this home again. Elliott reality is on top of any issues but needs to be notified for things to be taken care of. I make it a point to let them know so the next family won't have to call for any problems..Elliott, thanks for doing your best to make all family vacation experiences great. ##### darron s.
