Clean property, just right for two adults. There is a house between you and the beach so unfortunately you don’t have an ocean view.

The only thing I would say is to put a shower or something outside for after the beach so you don't bring the sand into the house. And the only thing I really missed was a washer and dryer

Awesome experience
Absolutely loved our stay! Great communication from the renters. Traveled with an 11 month old and a 4 year old. Convenient distance to the beach (literally like a minute walk through the yard). Cottage is right on the road but it was still rather quiet at night. When booking, I saw one review that noted the pack n play didn’t fit but if you keep it closed through the bedroom door and open it against the wall, it will fit perfectly. We rented kid equipment from BabyQuip but when we were a day or 2 out from our stay, the communication from the renters indicated there were some items available directly from them that I must have missed when I booked. I’d do that next time! Overall, such a great stay. 10/10 recommend.

Ok small little house
The house is comfortable, is good for a getaway weekend. No ocean view, there is a large property right behind, i think is too close for comfort i have to keep blinds close for privacy. Parking is a little odd but it worked out at the end. Very well pack with kitchen appliances, we didn't find anything else..

Weekend getaway at Carolina Beach
This cozy beach cottage brings back childhood memories of family beach trips in a simpler time. The house is super cute and nicely updated. Upon arrival, it was very clean and inviting. The beds were comfy when resting. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch as well as relaxing in the living room. The most valuable part of this property is the easy private beach access out back! We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and from start to finish, the owners were very attentive and excited to make our stay special. Highly recommended!
