Perfect spot for a girls weekend.
Absolute adorable house right across the street from a gorgeous well maintained beach. We spent 5 days here celebrating my daughter graduating college. We love the comforts of home when we travel and this house has it all. Very clean, well managed, and had everything you need to cook, but if you wanted to go grab a bite it’s within walking distance or a short drive to so many yummy restaurants, shops, ice cream spots you name it. Cute little area for a walk or jog. So much to do but if you want to just hang at the beach they provided beach chairs and an outside shower to get the sand off after fun day of body surfing. Honestly I could of stayed here all summer. Such a perfect spot. I will definitely stay here again.

I stayed here with my husband and three small kids for a week. We loved the cute little house, the convenience to the beach, and the entire stay. This house is just minutes from any store/restaurant in Carolina Beach and only 10 minutes from the Aquarium.

An amazing family-friendly stay steps from the beach
It's hard to overstate how much we enjoyed our stay here. The house was meticulously clean and well-appointed, with nice little touches like having fresh kitchen towels and sponges ready for us. The layout of the house makes the house seem much bigger than it is, and it was great to have the dedicated dining space for the kids. The shower out back and clothesline for drying were perfect for when you get back from the beach, which you'll go to a lot! You could hardly be closer, with a public entrance across the street. That stretch of beach was never unpleasantly crowded, even on a beautiful Saturday. Most people wouldn't walk to either Carolina Beach Boardwalk or Kure Pier from there, but both are just a very short drive away, along with the Aquarium, Fort Fisher, and the State Park. The check-in code worked with no troubles and everything in the apartment was in good repair. The grill even seemed brand new. This will definitely be our go-to spot for our next trip to Carolina Beach!

Family Affair
This was a good find. The cottage was clean and had two sizable bedrooms with two bathrooms (which is a must for parents with an 18 year-old son). Excellent location. Very close to the beach and walkable to Carolina Beach restaurants. Pretty well equipped kitchen. Just enough space to spread out.

Great little house!
Great house in a great location! Large yard we used for family games & patio area for gathering/chatting. Very short walk to the beach, which was perfect. Delaine & Larry were very helpful & responded quickly to any questions. Ate at Michaels & The Tikki bar, both had good food & Service. Played miniature golf at Shipwreck Neon miniature golf, which was fun on a rainy day. Perfect place to stay!

Excellent - would stay again
Layout of home and location were superb. Communication with homeowners was prompt and courteous. Very clean, we had everything we needed. Adequate toilet paper and paper towels, dish soap, laundry detergent, towels; plenty of parking; outdoor space and seating was great - we ate at the picnic table in the shade each evening; grill was nice addition to space. Outdoor hose and shower at the back door helped with cleanliness. Air conditioner was excellent -even at a 72 degree setting, it was plenty cool.

Great location
The Sea Shack was in an excellent location. The beach is right across the street, short walk to the beach. All one level, nice backyard and plenty of parking. The kitchen has plenty of pots/pans, plates utensils etc and plenty of towels/washcloths for bathing. The pictures match the property. The owners are very responsive. The only thing I would recommend is having an additional key in the lockbox or add a code lock so when others aren’t coming back to the house at the same time it would be nice to have an extra key to give them or they could use a code. Overall great property and I would definitely stay again!
