Carolina Beach
Our place was very nice. Location was good. Beach was good. Very dirty ocean due to storm first 3/4 days. Cleared up some on Friday and Saturday. Beautiful weather the entire time. Really enjoyed the time there. One problem though, a family of 8 moved in on Friday morning at 3:00. They were very loud. They were loud the entire time I will only rent a one story for one family next time I stay with you. They showed no respect for our family on the 1st level but that’s ok. I learned what to request next time. Thank you

Perfect for the family
Cute historic house with charm close to the beach was perfect for our family of 6. Only negative would be that if you're in the lower unit, the upper unit can seem a bit loud.

Enjoyed time at the beach. This house was close to beach but in a quieter section of the area. Liked that it was handicapped accessible. Did have one concern when one of the beds collapsed--but we adapted and vacationed on.

Nice like cottage, enjoyed the stay
Great Lil cottage walking distance to Carolina Beach (to the left). Has a breakfast sandwich take out half a block, good quick morning eats. Would like a little more sound proofing between floors. I was on the bottom floor, which has a nice covered front porch and swing. Plenty of room to have a family sit and eat outside. Would stay again, except we missed our dog. A no pet property.

Annual family vacation at beach.
815 Carolina Beach Road was a lovely place to stay. It had adequate seating at the table and enough beds for the family. Home was clean and fresh and had everything in the kitchen we needed. Would definitely recommend it. Parking was the best we have had in several years staying at the beach.

Cute place and great location!
This worked well for our family of 8. It is not new, but the location was great. There could more detail cleaning done before new arrivals. Had to clean the couch big time. Party going on upstairs most of the day and night, but it is summer!
