Host is very communicative, friendly and helpful. The place was exactly as described and as pictured, and it's very well maintained. The area is quiet and very close, including walkable, to everything you would want to see and do. My stay played out as planned. Looking forward to a repeat in the future.

The Sand Bucket was perfect for me, my wife, and our dog. It definitely will suit the needs of most couples. We were less than a ten minute walk from most anything we could want - the beach, the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, restaurants, etc. We loved the fact that it had a small yard for us to step out into with our dog and it was nicely taken care of with a sitting area. The small kitchen an living area were perfect for our needs to relax and wind down in the evening. Communication with property management was excellent as they promptly answered any questions we had and also did us the wonderful favor of shipping a pair of earrings that my wife left. We will stay here again.

Great place to stay, especially with our dog! The fenced in yard was awesome. Our pup loved having the space to run around. Easy check in & access to the residence. It was in a very nice neighborhood and only a 10 minute walk to the beach. The unit offered everything we needed for a great stay!

The Sandbucket is a perfect place for just you and one other! The yard has all been re-done and is extremely nice. About a 10 min walk to all the restaurants, boardwalk and beach! We really enjoyed our stay and would book again.

Amazing, dog-friendly stay

We loved our stay at the Sand Bucket! As stated on the listing, it is an upstairs rental and the downstairs is a separate rental with a shared fenced in yard. The first night, nobody was staying downstairs, so it was nice to be able to let our dog out without worrying about that. The second night we introduced ourselves to the downstairs renters who also had a dog and all was fine from there. The VRBO itself was very nice and clean! It was small but perfect for two people (maybe 2 adults and a small child). It was about a 10 minute walk to the beach but was a very quiet neighborhood so we enjoyed that. I would recommend bringing a wagon or something to make carrying stuff to the beach easier. Only negatives were they didn’t provide soap for the shower or a hair dryer so be prepared with those things when you come! Overall it was an amazing stay and we would 100% stay there again!

Great location! Adorable and clean rental!

My husband and I stayed in this rental for a quick weekend getaway to the NC coast. The second floor rental was very clean and well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Location was great as we walked everywhere to avoid paying for parking. The only note of concern is the stairs leading up to the 2nd floor. My husband is a big guy at 6’3”, 240 lbs, and the stairs would sway a bit when he walked up or down them. We would just take turns going up and down them to be safe. Not a big deal but a larger elderly person, who may not be as nimble, might feel nervous. Otherwise, a wonderful property and we would definitely stay here again!
