"Weekend at the beach with the dogs. - Great place to stay for a weekend at Carolina Beach. Short walk to the beach, the market at the lake, or restaurants or ice cream. The house was perfect for our needs, the screened in porch, back deck and fenced in yard for the dogs were excellent for our purposes."

"We had a wonderful stay!! We loved the property. It was cute, clean, had a nice, big, private backyard which our dogs loved. The location was perfect and close to everything. We could walk to everything. Even though it is still close to everything, our street was quiet and peaceful. We will definitely book this property again!! "

"Great Place For Vacation - We had a wonderful stay!! The property was cute, very clean and had a nice, big, private backyard which our 2 dogs absolutely loved. The cottage was in a perfect location. We could walk to everything and did. Close walk to the beach, lake, coffee shops, boardwalk, restaurants and bars. The only time we moved our car was to go to the Food Lion for groceries. Although close to everything, our street was very quiet and peaceful. We have stayed on the North and South ends of the Island in the past, but this was our favorite location. We will definitely stay here again!!"

"Cozy vacation house! - We had such a nice time for our first visit to Carolina Beach! It felt comfortable, like it was somebody’s house, and not just a rental, and it smelled freshly cleaned when we walked in. The neighborhood was quiet, even though it was close to the action- we all slept well. The kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of dishes, cookware, and appliances. The dishwasher’s a bit old, and didn’t do a great job so we hand washed our dishes, but I didn’t mind. It was nice to have essentials like dish soap, dishwasher pods, coffee filters, salt, pepper, and sugar all provided. I also appreciated the basket of hotel shampoos/soaps in the bathroom. Saved us from going to the store for a bar of soap when we ran out. Our dogs enjoyed the big fenced-in yard, and the dog-friendly community. It was great to have so much within walking distance! Loved the Veggie Wagon, CB Surf Shop, and Squigley’s Ice Cream, that were all super close. And, of course, the beach was amazing. We’d love to come again sometime!"

"Great older beach house - Overall we loved the house. The ability to bring our pup and have a fenced in yard so close to everything was awesome. Don’t expect a brand new house. It’s an old school beach house with lots of character. We didn’t plan our vacation around being in the house all the time. Walking distance to everything, sit back and enjoy a drink on the screened front porch or under the awning on the back deck. A lot of cooking utensils and they have towels provided which was a nice bonus."

"Wonderful vacation - This was a great house for our family. The location was perfect and the house was so cute and accommodating for our needs. It is such a great beach cottage for the family with the best yard to accommodate your k-9 family members. There are so many things to do close to the house. We truly loved our stay in this house and plan on booking it again."

"This was a great property. I enjoyed the stay for the most part it was relatively quite and peaceful, except for the locals riding around on loud motorcycles after 10-11 pm at night. The only thing was the property needed an additional bathroom and maybe a small above ground pool.Other than that I really enjoyed to stay. May rent again in the future."

"The beds, pillows, kitchen appliances, internet, back yard with fence, back porch with awning, screened in porch, and proximity to everything were wonderful. We enjoyed our stay. Our only negatives would be fighting for parking in front of the house and the third bedroom is actually attached to the front porch outside of the main house."
