Terrible furniture

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The patio chairs were very cheap, small plastic chairs, and there were only 5 patio chairs for a 6 person unit. The inside furniture in the living room was actually outside furniture, and very uncomfortable. The mattress in the unit were very uncomfortable. The unit and location are fabulous. It is unfortunate that the beds and furniture are so subpar, especially for the nightly price they are charging. We would not stay in this property again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It is perfectly located just a few houses down the beach from the boardwalk. The neighborhood is very quiet despite being so centrally located. House is beautiful, comfortable and clean. Fantastic views too.

Perfect beach house

Everything about this place is perfect, easy private access to the beach and very spacious Only downside is the check-in is too late and checkout is too early but other than that we loved it and hopefully come again.

Excellent beach rental

Very spacious and clean beach house. Views were spectacular and quick access to the beach. A very short walk to the boardwalk walk area and restaurants. We had a wonderful and relaxing time at this house and definitely would stay at this home again!

Amazing!

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a really good time on our vacation to Carolina Beach... house was exquisite view was phenomenal.... Property was clean and updated. Small vacuum needs replaced and a dust pan and a pair of kitchen shears were missing but that’s about all we needed that wasn’t supplied. Property management company was very quick in response to requests. Have already booked again for July!

Do not recommend

I recently stayed at a vacation property and unfortunately, I cannot recommend it. While the location was excellent with private beach access and the ability to walk to most places, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. One of the biggest disappointments was the family room furniture. Instead of comfortable, indoor couches, we were provided with outdoor furniture which was uncomfortable and impractical for relaxing indoors. It was a huge letdown to find out that we had to make do with these pieces instead of having proper indoor furniture to unwind and relax on. Another major issue was with the beds in the property. They were the cheapest, most uncomfortable mattresses that I have ever encountered. It was almost impossible to get a good night's sleep, and we woke up feeling more exhausted than before we went to bed. Given that a good night's rest is essential to any vacation, this was a major letdown. Overall, the property only met the bare minimum standards. While the location was perfect, the furniture and beds detracted from the overall experience. I would not recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing vacation.
