Family gathering

This place was exactly as described; quite old, but charming and perfectly adequate, easy walk to the beach, and clean. As other reviewers have noted, if there are upstairs guests, you hear them, but fortunately the folks there while we were visiting were considerate, and we were not disturbed.

Had a great week!

We had a wonderful week, with 5 adults and 2 children, ages 4 to 76 and plenty of room for us in this charming house. . The beautiful beach was only a several minute walk away. Restaurants, the Boardwalk, and several grocery stores were an easy drive. If we vacation again at lovely Carolina Beach, we would definitely stay in this historic cottage.

Carolina Beach

Our place was very nice. Location was good. Beach was good. Very dirty ocean due to storm first 3/4 days. Cleared up some on Friday and Saturday. Beautiful weather the entire time. Really enjoyed the time there. One problem though, a family of 8 moved in on Friday morning at 3:00. They were very loud. They were loud the entire time I will only rent a one story for one family next time I stay with you. They showed no respect for our family on the 1st level but that’s ok. I learned what to request next time. Thank you

Perfect for the family

Cute historic house with charm close to the beach was perfect for our family of 6. Only negative would be that if you're in the lower unit, the upper unit can seem a bit loud.

Annual family vacation at beach.

815 Carolina Beach Road was a lovely place to stay. It had adequate seating at the table and enough beds for the family. Home was clean and fresh and had everything in the kitchen we needed. Would definitely recommend it. Parking was the best we have had in several years staying at the beach.

Get Away

Enjoyed time at the beach. This house was close to beach but in a quieter section of the area. Liked that it was handicapped accessible. Did have one concern when one of the beds collapsed--but we adapted and vacationed on.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family vacation at this place was excellent. The house is across the street from the beach. The house was cleaned and the porch was a plus. The only thing was the walls was too thin for privacy. We could hear other tenants conversations.No need to drive or packed. Everything was closed by as far as shopping and excursions. I will definitely rent that property again

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A group of girls went down for a weekend to stay in this lovely house. We especially needed a handicapped accessible location and it was hard to find one. This house was just perfect. We rented the lower level. Everybody loved the charm of this house. I would love to rent this place again. If you rented both levels you could really take a large group or family. Every thing was there that we needed for cooking and the property was well maintained. The rental staff did a great job with check in and check out.

Nice like cottage, enjoyed the stay

Great Lil cottage walking distance to Carolina Beach (to the left). Has a breakfast sandwich take out half a block, good quick morning eats. Would like a little more sound proofing between floors. I was on the bottom floor, which has a nice covered front porch and swing. Plenty of room to have a family sit and eat outside. Would stay again, except we missed our dog. A no pet property.

The unit is very well-maintained, the kitchen is well-equipped, and it's a great spot for a relaxing vacation. Easy walking distance to the beach and generous space for parking behind the unit are also pluses.
