Our family of seven loved staying at this wonderful home! The pool was refreshing. The beach is just steps away from the home. The house was beautifully furnished. The views of the ocean from the beach were spectacular. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking family meals. Communication from our hosts was prompt and helpful. We will happily return next year!

Both the house and the host were top notch, I don’t think I’ve had a better VRBO experience than here. The house was clean, perfectly appointed, and comfortable. The location was amazing; easy access to the beach and town, and the pool was perfect to balance the beach. The owner offered helpful local suggestions, including a half day fishing charter and golf cart rentals that made it easy for us to book through. The owner was incredibly responsive and clearly cared that we enjoyed the property. Thank you Jim!

I can’t say enough good things about this property and Jim, the how! He was so responsive and helpful no matter what the question. He was extremely flexible with check-in and check-out times and I’m confident in saying communication with him was the best I’ve ever experienced from a host!The property itself was absolutely stunning and comfortable and clean. Everything worked (elevator, washing machines, showers). It was the best - I absolutely recommend to everyone! Some tips to future renters: it’s not walkable into the main strip of Carolina Beach- so consider a golf cart or car rental. Ubers/lyfts were sometimes a 20-30min wait so also factor that in if you need to be anywhere! Bring your own beach towel if you want to spend time on the sand!Thank you Jim for a fabulous stay:)

2nd Annual Thanksgiving Family Trip

The property was beautiful! It was exactly as described. We had 13 adults and 1 child (5 y.o.) in our group. There was more than enough space for us to hang out all together and also for us to break away for solitude when needed. The kitchen was AMAZING! Plenty of space, double ovens, a Kuerig and drip coffee maker were both available. The home had every amenity a family would need - games, beach chairs, books, TV, and internet. Mu husband enjoyed surf fishing, and the family enjoyed walks on the beach. Jim is always an amazing host. He checks in through out the stay to see if anything is needed - which is always a no from us as he ensures that his properties are well stocked.

This is a great property & one of our family’s favorites so far. A perfect location with great views and easy beach access. The property has a very nice pool, although it was not available on our first day because of an apparent power outage the week before. However, this was remedied immediately after talking to Jim and we were able to use the beautiful pool all week. We would’ve given it five stars, except there was an issue with the water. Our clothes and towels were left with an orange stain after laundering. Also, the toilets were stained with the orange residue. Not sure if this is due to the water issue the week before or if this is something that is always an issue. We would definitely stay here again providing this issue is resolved.
