Great Cozy Stay-Easy
Everything stated about this was exactly true! It was close, quiet and loved the screened in porch for late night chats. The home was clean and everything worked as designed. The communication with agent, excellent! No recommendations for improvement. We were on the move so not a lot of time actually spent there. Was able to store our E bikes in the front screened porch area. I would definitely rent this property again!! Close to eating and drinking places along with a neat bike/walking trail very near.Quiet at night as well!

Perfect location for our family vacation. Property was clean and exactly as advertised. Had all the amenities we needed and was just a 10 min walk from the ocean. Back porch was ideal for morning coffee!

Barefoot Mermaid’s Carolina Beach house
(1) Got into vacation mode right away. Sweet place: All the amenities you could need and so bright and clean!!! Up to date appliances, all kitchen stuff you need. Sheets and towels provided made things easy (had to bring our own beach towels but that’s common). 2. Easy in, easy out. One good thing that came out of covid is the invention of “contactless check-in” with coded door locks. Quick and easy with no office key pickup or waiting for host. (3) Nice back porch and yard. (4) off the beaten path away from tourist attractions boardwalk etc (5) location location location. Walked to the beach in like 10 mins and could also use public parking real close by. We play pickle ball so glad for the park 2 blocks away Oh yeah: Best bbq and diner takeout just up the street Butts and Such. Almost like room service ha ha. Gonna try to go back in Sept or def next year.

Family Beach Getaway for July 4th weekend.
Overall for the price we are content with our stay. We were attracted to this home because of the location and price but even for the affordable price we were a little disappointed in a few things. Here’s our honest list of pros and cons. Pros: close to the beach, affordable, close to a bike and walkway, everything worked, kitchen had everything you’d need, and a large backyard. Cons: bathrooms and other items need updated, vents and bathroom fans were filthy and had mold, seem to have a bug problem we had multiple very large cockroaches during our stay, and the check out list was very excessive considering the price of service/cleaning fee. Also we were given a non working access code and when I reached out to the property management, they were a little condescending and short about the code, they gave us another code and it worked fine. Overall if your looking for a budget friendly place and don’t mind the cons it was a decent vacation rental.

Beaching, Biking, Relaxing. We love Carolina Beach!
Our new happy place! We felt relaxed as soon as we walked in—it was so clean and welcoming. The kitchen has everything (we like to cook). Beds and baths perfect. Of course the main thing was the beach, which is just a 10-minute walk on a flat street. The fireworks on the beach Thurs night were great (they do it every week!). We all brought bikes and rode the bike path as well as going up to the boardwalk and restaurants. We were able to pack a lot in since it was so close. It was amazing to have such a peaceful house so close to everything. We actually tried to extend our stay but there was another reservation.

Family weekend away
All though it rained it was a great time. This home far exceeded other places even those in Hilton Head. Very clean and well stocked. The backyard is great if you had kiddos. Kitchen fully stocked, location is perfect, beds comfy and shower pressure with hot water was on point even with multi showers. We will stay again for sure. Cozy with a beach vide.
