Carolina Beach Cottage Paws Welcome!

Come and swim in our beautiful ocean and enjoy a worry free vacation. Awesome modern beach cottage - located 2 blocks from the ocean, 2 blocks from the Boardwalk, and one block from marina and party boats. The cottage is also just a few miles from the Wilmington river walk just voted the 2nd best in the USA! Beautiful Italian tile kitchen with travertine counter tops. Cherry floors in the den, heart of pine shiplap paneling in the sunroom. Master bedroom with queen bed has an open rain shower in the master bath. Large deck on back with gas grill is great for entertaining. Separate laundry room with washer/dryer. Top of the line linens, toiletries, paper towels, napkins, etc. is supplied- just bring your clothes. Backyard with six foot privacy fence for security. Once you park there's no need to drive - walking distance to restaurants, bars, boardwalk rides, party and fishing charters, shops and more. I also have room for a boat if you bring one. Rent a street legal golf cart and explore the charm of the back streets, or rent a 4 wheel drive Jeep and explore the sandy beach at the North end. Visit the state park, walk the nature trails, and see Venus flytraps, pitcher plants, and sun dews growing naturally. This one is really nice - Flat screen TV's, cable, and high speed Wi-Fi internet. During peak season only 7 day reservations from Saturday to Saturday are accepted. This insures everyone will be able to stay a full week. After peak season 5 day minimums are accepted.

Vacation surgery
We had a wonderful time walking everywhere. We thought the house worked fine for us it was small but we had plenty of room. Very happy the house had three bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked. Unfortunately for me, the grandmother, I had to go to the hospital & ended up having emergency abdominal surgery that same day . Another good thing to know is that the closest hospital to the house is wonderful.

Close to the beach is the only plus
I was going to be kind in my review but now that the host is trying to get us to pay for a cleaning that this house hasn't seen in years, I'll just be truthful. (Word of advice to the host: most people would be more than happy to pay a cleaning fee than be expected to clean a house top to bottom at the end of a vacation. And if you actually expect people to clean your "private residence", you might want to say that instead of writing snide comments on a piece of paper and hope they understand what is implied. We just thought you were being cranky.) The house sits directly next to an abandoned boarded up house and across the street from low-income, shabby apartments, making it less than ideal for small children to be outside unaccompanied, especially after dark (like during the week of July 4th). The house is in poor condition. From basic fixes (shower and closet doors off-track) to needing more extensive repairs (water damage throughout the house, sliding back door that doesn't seal or lock, shower fixtures in poor working order). The beds are old and uncomfortable. The house is full of cobwebs and pet hair and the carpets are stained (air fresheners don't cover up stink). We had to roll up the rug in the kitchen because whatever was in it was triggering allergies. We tried to wash the "clean" bed sheets that were full of pet hair but then discovered the washer didn't work consistently, so got one load to actually wash, rinse, and drain and gave up on trying to wash anything else. We knew the washer worked at some point because of the load that was left to dry stuck to the sides of the washer. Of course that went right along with the dried coffee grounds left in the coffee maker. We were going to try to vacuum but the duct tape on the canister did not suggest we would have any better luck than with the washer, so we left it alone. The front and back porch were not inviting, with furniture full of dead bug's, cobwebs and just dirty. The back yard, being a pet friendly place, is not someplace you can let the kids run around in - we were greeted with evidence of the previous pets' as we were doing our first walkthrough. The grill is about rusted out, so use with caution. Overall, it was a roof over our heads when it was raining and walking distance to the beach.

Enjoyable and fun family cottage near beach and boardwalk!
Our family had a wonderful time during our stay at this cottage near the beach and boardwalk! Overall, the home was very comfortable and welcoming. We made a lot of great memories here, and I'm very thankful for the opportunity that it provided us (very affordable, spacious, three bathrooms, and within walking distance to many area attractions in Carolina Beach). We all had enough privacy and plenty of space for two adults and three children to enjoy meals and family time together. We enjoyed walking to the beach at night to catch ghost crabs! Very close to the boardwalk and entertainment. My family and I had some concerns with the behaviors of other individuals that we had witnessed in the neighborhood, but thankful for the police presence. I also was hoping to enjoy more time on the front and back porch, but hopefully with some more cleaning and basic updates (light switch with lights on back porch) those areas will be more suitable and accessible for the next family stay. We had to turn up the heat on the water heater a little, and I had to learn how to sign up for ROKU to be able to watch TV. But, I was thankful that the owner was only a text or phone call away to help us out! I would stay here again, and would recommend it for other families as well. It's a very nice cottage near a really fun beach / boardwalk / state park area. We will treasure the memories and our time here!

Carolina Beach Woes
This cottage is ideally located within walking distance to the beach! Too bad the surrounding homes/neighborhood are shabby and rundown. Across the street from the cottage sits a large building with an ever-changing variety of occupants. The cottage next door looks abandoned but is somehow occupied. We couldn't use the front porch or back deck at our cottage because they were dirty and the furniture was mildewed. The yard was even worse. The interior of the cottage has some safety concerns. Old electrical outlets exposing taped up wires and a back sliding glass door that is so warped/old you can barely open it. Overall cleanliness was a huge disappointment, as were the Palmetto bugs! We managed to make the most of our situation and literally left the place cleaner than when we found it. Despite our efforts, half our "Damage Deposit" was withheld because we didn't follow all the clean up instructions that were supposedly left on the kitchen table.

Location is the standout highlight!
The location of this quaint cottage makes it easy to walk to so much that Carolina Beach has to offer! The beach, the boardwalk, multiple restaurants, Lake Park (farmer's market and Sunday movies). There is no cleaning fee here so one must keep in mind no two people have the same version of clean. With the area experiencing a hurricane last fall and storms before we arrived, some debris was expected. Thanks to the owners for sharing their property, we had a great time at Carolina Beach!

Not quite as described on website/ a/c cant keep it cool
The overall location of house in relation to beach was good and seemed like a good neighborhood. Upon arrival we were a little disappointed that there aren't exactly 3 bedrooms as described on the website. 2 nice bedrooms but the third one you have to pass through one of the other bedrooms to get to and there is no light or fan in the third bedroom. Check in process was easy we arrived on a Saturday afternoon to a cool house but by Sunday after noon we were up to 81 degrees inside the house. We called the number provided and basically was told it was Sunday ( Fathers Day) and he wasn't really concerned about the ac( his words were well i can pull a service tech out of my hat ) he would get someone out on Monday by lunch. I understand it was Sunday and a holiday but I would think for the money you pay they would be able to have someone check even on a weekend or holiday. Tech arrived around 1:00-1;30 added refrigerant and said he would be back by later to check upon returning was told its working and would take a couple hours to cool down keep blinds clodsed it would help 3 hours later temp is climbing not cooling down (no one has been inside since tech left blinds closed, door closed ) called manager again wasz told he hasnt had any complaints with ac until us took picture of temp on thermostat and sent to him, he sent ac repair back out we were then told its doing all it can do he had a window unit he could leave to help out , he went out to check outside unit but never came back in with window unit. Temp at 11;30 at night was still 80-81 degrees the rest of our stay. I will definately not stay here again and i would recommend to anyone else to make sure and ask about the a/c .

Not As Described
The location of this beach house worked great for our family. However, upon arrival the refrigerator did not work, it took 2 replacements, three days and loss of food before this was resolved. Front porch, back yard and its furniture were so unkept it was unusable. There were basic up keep and safety issues: 2 units on the stove not working, hallway smoke detector not working, ceiling fan extremely wobbly where it was unusable, toilet not secured properly to the floor, sliding glass door not able to be locked, floor coverings dirty and bath linen severely over used and stale. During cooking supper the sink / garbage disposal clogged and overflowed onto the kitchen floor. This beach house is in a good location and could be really cute however, it needs a good cleaning inside and out and a lot of improvement in basic up keep / maintenance to meet the website description.

Cute cozy beach cottage within walking distance to the beach, boardwalk, shops, restaurants and bars
I spent over two weeks here and loved it. I look forward to coming back. The cottage is clean and has everything one needs for cooking, entertaining and relaxing. All of the neighbors were friendly and helpful. I parked my car when I arrived and was able to walk everywhere during my stay. The only reason I rated this cottage 4 stars instead of 5 is because the back deck and yard were somewhat disappointing as they needed a good cleaning and mowing/raking,

Charming and convenient
If you are looking for a conveniently located cottage, look no further and press the reserve button. This cute cottage centrally located is exactly what you are looking for. Close to Sea Merchant grocery store, restaurants, bars, Coffie shops, the boardwalk and the beach just a few blocks away. This cottage features a fenced in backyard which was perfect for our dog. The neighbors are great and very hospitable, greeting us at each passing. The house was more than adequately furnished, very practical for our family of five and ample street-side parking for three vehicles. Would recommend this to anyone looking for practical convenience and a grateful owner.
