The host company (A1Property) was a treat to work with and very responsive to an issue with the electric lock batteries going dead. This was a great location for us in our visit to the Wilmington area to watch our son run in the marathon and visit with him and his fiance

Beautiful home. Very clean and everything you need except beach chairs which would have been nice to know before we left home to travel.. The two flights of steep stairs to get in and out of home is dangerous for anyone. Carrying in bags was not fun at all. Also, the grill and gazebo are shared and the family of 15 in unit next door would not share. View of canal was spectacular.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at the home very with one exception. The main floor had no bathroom and with my elderly mom coming it was very difficult to navigate stairs just to find a bathroom when everyone is gathered on the main floor. I would not stay there again for that reason.

Clean, conveniently located .

The house was clean and conveniently located. The views were gorgeous. We really enjoyed our stay. I do wish they provided more towels and linens. The listing said they had bikes but we could'nt find any. Since everything is pay for parking on carolina beach, bikes would've been cconvenient to have.

Carolina Beach, Great area

We all really enjoyed this rental and area! We had fun swimming, fishing, canoeing/paddle boarding off the docks, we caught several croakers and spot fish, all of which we released, as they were small, so fun to catch! The beach was super close to walk to for fun beach time and early morning walks… Really, the best of both areas of water…The house was clean and well Maintained and it had pretty much everything we needed in the kitchen and rooms. The laundry room was a plus and much needed. It was nice to have the beach towels available… The accommodation for our dog was perfect! Thank you! We had a wonderful time and it was great area!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was just right for us. Our main intention and activity for our stay was fishing. The dock was just right for us with very easy access to the ICW and CB inlet. There is plenty of water under it at low tide, suitable for large boats up to 30+ feet. The location is just 1 mile from the boardwalk, shops and restaurants of CB. The view is very nice. The condo is well appointed and the kitchen met all of our needs. There are paddle boards and kayaks which we did not use. The unit was clean for sure when we arrived. I did not choose 5 stars for this (spotless) because the carpet through out (only in bedrooms), is in need of replacing. There are scuffs on many walls. With so many renters using properties, it’s to be expected. It is however a little stressful after you check in and consider what damage you should report, wondering what is already known or could some of it be new from the last renter. It can be time consuming to annotate everything so I tried to summarize instead of annotating it all. This condition did not bother us at all aside from trying to make sure it was known. We would stay here again, it was perfect for our needs.

The view from the back of the house is beautiful. We really enjoyed using the dock and being on the inlet. The listing says that you have a private dock. Just know that you are also sharing this space with the renters beside you. We liked that it was a very short walk to the beach and had plenty of room for our family to enjoy together or to have some down time alone. Our biggest complaint is that the shared stand up paddle boards are stored on the walls of our parking space. That limited our parking and walking area that’s already extremely tight. The other renters were not very considerate of that. We had to move our vehicle to avoid kids from damaging it. We also had a problem with them leaving the boards laying on the concrete floor where we are supposed to be parking. Very annoying and inconsiderate. Just know that although you have paid to have this space under your home, it is used by others very carelessly.

Was nice to hang out on the decks facing the canal. Kitchen was well stocked. Location was only 1.5 blocks from the beach. More or less had to drive to get to shops and restaurants being a ways up the strip between the canal and the ocean. Lots of steps being 4 levels. Only negative was the shower and tubs could have been cleaned a bit better.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was awesome! We had so much fun on the dock with the paddleboards we barely went to the beach. Only complaint is the flooding at hi tide. We had to park the car several blocks from the house and walk through water to get home. Other than that, very good experience.
