Girlfriend Getaway
My girlfriends and I have been visiting TC for many years. This was our first stay in a rental due to our cabin there being sold. From the very beginning of our booking and stay, the people at VRBO and Coastal Stay were amazing. The Barlow by the Bay Townhouse was everything we expected and definitely top notch accomodations. We are very excited to plan our next trip there!!!!

Condo Stay
The condo is well located and very clean. I would suggest that the description of bathrooms be changed in the listing. The listing says that there are 2 bathrooms, but in reality there is 1 full bathroom and 1 half bath. So, it should state 1.5 bathrooms—not 2.

514 Barlow Street
The townhouse was VERY clean and every room had beautiful mid-century modern decor. Every space was designed intentionally with the furniture, light fixtures, table and floor lamps, area rugs and artwork. This may not matter to other renters but I love and appreciate being in a space I can fully enjoy. Especially since we had one stormy evening during our stay and it was fun to hang out and be comfortable in the living room and play cards at the kitchen table. There was more than enough space for my husband and I and our two teens, with three bedrooms and four beds and two comfortable couches. There was an abundance of towels, pillows, blankets and beach towels. The host thought of everything you might need- there is a supplied coffee and tea area, a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of cleaning supplies, a washer and dryer with soap, a vacuum cleaner, smart TV, WiFi, board games, plenty of outlets, night lights, labeled light switches, luggage racks and box fans in every bedroom and, a supply of toiletries in case you forgot something. The shower water pressure was great. The central air conditioning was very comfortable and easy to regulate. The host was very attentive and also provided immediate responses when we had a question. Having a garage with interior stairs to the townhome was a plus. Shopping and dining on Front street is a five minute drive with plenty of parking options. There are multiple beaches to visit.
