Nice place. Hot tub needed cleaning and rental host was very responsive. Hot tub maintenance company was unable to clean it until the day before our departure.

We stayed at Star of the Sea in Carolina Beach, NC. The interior was clean, and the listing photos inside were accurate. Communication from the owners was prompt and appreciated. Being able to bring my dog was a plus.However, the outdoor space did not match the listing. The photos appear filtered and didn’t reflect the actual condition. The sectional appeared different than pictured, and the cushions were very dirty, making it unusable. The listing also showed a rug, but the area was just bare concrete.The biggest disappointment was the hot tub. It was dirty upon arrival. After reporting it, someone came the next day, but the cleaning seemed incomplete. The water never cleared, and I did not feel comfortable using it. The listing states the hot tub is new, but that was not my impression.There were also no instructions for the propane fire pit, so I didn’t feel safe attempting to use it.The fenced yard was sufficient, but I had to closely monitor my small dog due to gaps in the slats. A floodlight in the backyard would also be helpful for nighttime use.Overall, while the interior and communication were positives, the outdoor space and unusable hot tub were disappointing.

Cute and quaint

It was so nice to stay in a nice clean place. Very quiet. This little cottage is so cozy and perfect for 2. It is located 2 block from the beach. Relatively short walk. You will need a cart to get your things to the beach. There is a beautiful greenway in the very back of the neighborhood. Perfect for walking your dog safely. Only 5 short minutes from the boardwalk. We really enjoyed meeting the hosts. Super friendly. We loved it.

Studio by the sea

Beautiful location, close walk to the beach, but also on a quiet street. Studio was clean, well organized, and dog friendly. We enjoyed our stay and would most definitely recommend/stay again. Thank you to the owners for making access to the rental simple. I have stayed at others where the check-in process has had many steps, this was no so.
