The condo is convenient to the beach and has all the necessities for a wonderful vacation. Parking is tight under the building, but we were able to manage since the lane next to us was empty. Craig was wonderfully responsive. The only category we marked as a 4 out of 5 was cleanliness. This score was given because we swept the hall (for sand) and found quite a bit of animal hair. Thanks for sharing your property with us.
Great location, shared driveway With beach access which made it crowded at times. Party of 4 and we could only use 2 beach chairs since the other ones were rusty, full of cobwebs and dirty. We were disappointed because we wanted to rent golf carts which is popular, we couldn’t since there was no outlets to recharge it. The deck is in need of repair, we had rain 1 day and could not even sit outside due to the ceiling has major gaps which causes the rain to fall through.
Hadn't been on a vacation in half a decade. So the opportunity to get away to such a beautiful destination was amazing! The condo was awesome! Had tons of things I didn't expect, but that were greatly appreciated! Everything was clean and well organized... Couldn't have asked for a better prepared stay! The view was awesome from the porch patio, would definitely rent again! 🙂🙂
We had a mixed generation family vacation. The owners were super easy to communicate with. We had no issues with the property. The accommodations are perfect and allows for space to spread out.
If you are wanting to watch tv it’s helpful for you to be familiar with using tv apps.
We definitely cooked and sat in the deck. Being right on the beach is also great so there’s not a lot of packing the whole crew and beach items
Location is also great. We took a few sightseeing trips to the Fort Fisher aquarium, US Carolina Battleship, Myrtle Beach and of course restaurants and the kids rented bikes at the boardwalk.
We were here a week and it wasn’t enough!! Don’t hesitate, book this unit!
Convenient to the beach, making spring break with young kids a breeze. Slept all of us perfectly, with enough space to have personal and alone time. Great spot that isn’t too crowded, but not too remote. Made for an easy trip to Fort Fisher (with wide open, peaceful beach).
Would definitely stay again.
The host is so good at communicating the check in process. We had an issue with our arrival. The host helped us through it and made it easy and accommodating.
We were comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The weather was cool but the blankets, towels and heat were just what we needed. I would recommend this property to other groups or families.
We and our two furry friends loved this location. It was very close to the beach with easy access to the walkway to the beach but also neighborhood streets to walk when the beach was too much (for the adults -never the dogs.) Shannon was incredibly and immediately responsive to any questions ( we actually had no concerns).
During this winter rental the building was very quiet but I could imagine it more active in the summer. Some areas could have used a little more lighting ( winter days can be on the dark side) but we let Shannon know this.
All in all a wonderful time. We were sad to leave!
This is our second year of staying at this property during the Thanksgiving holiday and once again, it was wonderful! It is in a great location, both convenient to the beach and restaurants. The property is clean, easy to access, and has everything you will need. We would definitely recommend and hope to be back next year!
Our week-long stay at this delightful beach house was an absolute joy for our family, consisting of two adults and three children aged 5, 3, and 5 months. The breathtaking views from the porch combined with the unparalleled proximity to the beach make the cost of this rental more than justified. In fact, it's as close as you can get to having your own private walkout to the beach.
The Hornsby family, our gracious hosts, truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was exceptional. Shannon, in particular, was incredibly responsive, addressing any questions we had with remarkable speed, often within a mere 30 seconds. Their attentiveness added an extra layer of comfort to our experience.
Beyond the stunning location and fantastic hosts, the house itself left nothing to be desired. Stocked with every essential and more, it made us feel right at home. As we reflect on our time here, we're already eagerly looking forward to the possibility of returning next year. Our heartfelt thanks for providing us with such a memorable and wonderful vacation.
We really enjoyed the stay, it is right next to beach and home is great as well. Few things to note 1) parking may be tricky, I am able to park but needed assistance, also I didn’t have a car next to my lane hence it was easy for me. Please be prepared for paid parking in case you are not able to park.
Host is quick in response, over all we enjoyed the stay.
Wonderful hosts and awesome location. Loved all the details to make guests feel welcome- gift bag with treats and coffee is much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your place.
Our family stayed at Hornsbee over Memorial Day! Weather was horrible but we had lots of family time indoors! First time we've stayed here but will not be our last! It was the cleanest place we've ever stayed in, owners take great pride in this cozy little slice of paradise! Owners/Hosts thought of everything you may need, very accommodating! We love CB and now we have another place to call our home away from home!
Beautiful location and property! Clean, with easy access to the beach. Close proximity to many restaurants and shops, including the boardwalk. Parking under the unit is a little challenging but we got the hang of it.
Thanks Shannon!!
This was perfect for our month long stay. We wanted to be near the beach. This is right by the beach access. We have a dog. This has a private dog run with a stairway off the deck. The deck was great for morning coffee with a view of the ocean. The unit was very clean.
Our family spent Thanksgiving weekend at this property and it was wonderful! The property was very clean and accommodating. The location to the beach was so convenient and was wonderful to sit on the deck and listen and watch the ocean.
This beautiful well equipped, clean, comfortable and inviting home is steps away to the beach. It is very spacious and accommodated my family of 4, so we had our own space. We liked that there is a deck with a table of chairs and a beautiful view of the beach. Shannon is a great host she was very accommodating and very quick to respond with any questions. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!
The condo was extremely clean, tastefully decorated and in a wonderful location between Kure Beach/Ft Fisher and the busy part of Carolina Beach. Good ocean views from the condo, and close enough to hear the waves. The kitchen was well equipped with cookware and a combination Keurig pot/pods. Thoughtfully stocked with toiletries, first aid, and other extras, including a fabulous binder full of local suggestions. Communication with the owner was impeccable. We would love to stay here again.
