Loved the location. Plenty of space & the kitchen was well stocked. Some items seem worn compared to the pictures. Example would be the patio furniture & a small section of flooring right inside the twin bed bedroom had been repaired & nails were sticking up. Only one towel per person for the week & two of them were very small.

Great Location/Clean

Enjoyed our stay here - great location to downtown and beach. Amazing sunrises! Place was clean and comfortable for us and our adult kids. Some items could be updated like cookware and beach chairs. Overall, we would like to return. Carolina Beach is a nice place to visit.

Great stay

Great place, very large and the views were wonderful. The only issue I had was that there is one main door to the balcony that locks, then the sliding glass doors that enter the condo from the balcony did not lock. In theory no one would be able to enter the balcony to get in, but being on vacation with 2 kids, the not locking sliding doors made me nervous.

Great Rental would rent again

Exactly as advertised. Large, comfortable, clean, well appointed condo. Location was stellar! Just steps to the beach and an incredible view off the deck. Had everything we needed, Well stocked kitchen, included linens and paper products that are not always available in rentals. A lot of extras too like beach gear and board/card games.

Great location

The unit was exactly as described. Plenty of space, kitchen well-stocked with everything we needed for meal prep and just steps to the beach! Loved the extra large oceanfront balcony/deck. The pool was immaculate and never crowded. For us,the bed in Master was more firm than what we like and in other room, the queen bed was much too soft.

Great place!

We had a fabulous stay at this condo. It was beachfront and pool front. You can’t beat the location and view! Be aware of the parking situation with the neighbors. It is tandem parking for one car, so if you need to leave and are blocked in, you have to call them to let you out. There is overflow parking at the pool but there are only 6 spaces. Fortunately we didn’t have an issue, and the condo owners were on standby in case we had an issue.

Ocean views

Oceanfront views and proximity to the beach were the best part about the space. Large balcony with seating. Tips for folks going bring your own towels for showering and the pool. Kitchen is decently stocked. Large kitchen table and seating. The sliding glass doors to the front and back balcony do not lock. So if going with small children consider this a safety concern. The front balcony ledge, my 7 year old could lean over it so we had an adult at all times with her on the front balcony, the back balcony had higher rails. Owners were very responsive.

Our stay at the beach

Not really as advertised in the on line photos. The unit was clean, but not as nice as it looked in the photos. We really didn't get to spend much time on the porch because of the cable wire. There was a lot of slack in the wire . wwithew

Liked: Location
Views were great and we loved the easy beach access! Food, state park, and brewery all in walking distance. Low tide is amazing...you can go out far onto sandbars and the water just reaches your ankles! We lucked out finding an overflow parking spot and did not move the car...the assigned parking is tandem, so you either have to call someone to move their car, or be on call to move yours. Although I enjoyed waking up to sunrises, sleeping too much past that time was not an option with how loud it was upstairs...sounded like a stampede of horses, for hours. And the balcony that opens to the ocean also overlooks the pool, and that got loud, too. Low on the stocked toiletries, so had to purchase my own. Host did offer to reimburse, but it was about convenience, not cost. Electricity went out, so we left a day early. Not sure if that's a regular thing in the area with the nearby renovations or if that was a fluke. Overall good vacation for our first vrbo experience.
