The location was great! The view of the ocean was amazing and we loved the deck on the back of the house. Amenities in the house were good, but the house itself was very dirty. The floors were covered in sand and dog hair. The top of the fridge was filthy, the furniture didn’t look or smell clean- cushions were stained. We spent the first few hours sweeping the floors and wiping things down.- Posted: 10/28/2024
Thank you for your feedback, Mary. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the great location and amazing ocean view. However, we apologize for the cleanliness issues you experienced during your stay.

Starfish Cottage
The location is perfect, views are amazing! The house was well stocked with everything we needed but was very, very dirty. Dog hair, sand, dust on the floors, the top of the refrigerator was filthy, the living room furniture had sand all over it. We spent the first few hours there cleaning the place.- Posted: 10/28/2024

A beach cottage that has withstood many storms bright sunny afternoons and warm moonlit nights. There is an energy here as I watch the sun rise and set as the roar of the tide rolls on. The promise of renewal and steadfastness wraps around me like a blanket. So thankful for the times sitting in the kitchen watching the sun rise through the lovely wide kitchen window. A million dollar view all mine and the natural wind swept little bluff where I think the sand pipers are nesting quietly. The perfect easy walk to the beach every afternoon. Could have stayed forever. Starfish cottage is a real gem. Sincerely Elizabeth- Posted: 10/21/2024
Thank you for your beautiful words, Elizabeth! We're so glad you enjoyed your time at Starfish Cottage and appreciated the breathtaking views and peaceful atmosphere. Your experience captures the essence of what we aim to provide. We hope to welcome you back for another stay soon!Carolina Beach Realty staff

My first time renting a cottage for a week couldn’t have been any sweeter. The Atlantic Ocean at my door with lovely wild sea grasses waving in the breezes. This place is a little gemstone My well traveled guests were also impressed with the integrity of this cottage standing strong under the shadows of the modern condos along the boulevard.- Posted: 9/1/2024
Thank you for your feedback, Elizabeth! We're glad to hear that your first cottage rental experience was so sweet and that you appreciated the charm of the property. It's wonderful to know that your well-traveled guests were impressed as well. We would love to welcome you back for another stay by the Atlantic!Carolina Beach Realty staff

Loved the vintage appeal, maybe a few updates to the main bathroom is in the future??? Overall will Most definitely will be reserving the “Cottage “again .

The location of this home is wonderful. There is an amazing view of the ocean and there are lots of restaurant options nearby. That being said, this home needs some TLC. We did have a few bug spottings our first night but Carolina Beach Rental promptly sent out someone to spray the following day. There is a small parking lot tucked behind the house but you do share it with the lower unit and that could potentially be an issue with space as any more than three cars in that lot would be a squeeze. The kitchen was very well stocked and everything appeared clean.- Posted: 6/23/2024

Wonderful beach house, loved the kitchen looked out towards the beach. CBR had a maintenance guy repairing the deck gate when we arrived, since we brought our two small dogs with us. Will definitely rent this place again!- Posted: 11/4/2023
