Nice place

Nice, comfortable, little place. Very convenient walk to the beach in a nice neighborhood. Nicely decorated. Comfortable bed. Our initial impression was that it was very clean, but we noticed a lot of dog hair and sand around perimeters and under furniture. Could use a deep cleaning..

Nice place, small but comfortable and clean. There is a grill outside and microwave in. Short walk to the beach, it was quiet, off season of course but a neighborhood that didn’t seem like it’d be noisy regardless.

Wonderful time!

Our family had such a great time at Carolina Beach. The suite was a very quick walk to the ocean (which was awesome as we were travelling with a three year old). The suite was clean and beachy and had everything we needed for our stay. The neighborhood was great and very close to the boardwalk without being loud and chaotic. I would 100% recommend it to a friend. Erin was fantastic with communication and answered all questions. The only note I would make - a few hooks to hang wet items and a shower curtain on the outdoor shower would be awesome and provide a little more privacy in the residential area. Thanks again Erin + Joe - we loved CB and hope to return again soon. :)

Very nice, just some details

We loved our stay. That’s the main thing. Everything was great. Location was perfect and everything was easy and comfortable. Just two tips: the first aid kit needs to be restocked. My partner knicked themselves shaving and there were no bandaids. Also, it’d be a huge plus if there was already soap in the property for showering! Was just a little inconvenient to have to go to the store for soap. Loved our stay!

The property was great! The fenced in back yard area was so nice. We could grill and listen to music and we even had supplied mood lighting and outside furniture supplied! The room was clean and close to the beach! The air conditioning wad the best ive ever had! The owners were nice and answered my text quickly! Having a fully supplied vacation space was great, they even supplied beach supplies! Wagon, umbrella, gass grill, beach towels and boogey boards! The neighborhood was nice with excellent neighbors! We would love to go stay again!

Amazing beach vacation!

The room was perfect for my husband, dog and myself. It was a beautiful space that actually looked like the photos. We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and the nearby food spots, plus having dinner on the back patio. We also appreciated the provided beach supplies, towels, and coffee. We had a minor issue the first day but the owners responded so quickly and with such kindness to get it resolved right away. I'd give them 10 stars if I could and could tell they truly care about their guests.

About the host

Hosted by Erin and Joe Serio

Host profile image
My husband, Joe and I, are thrilled to have recently bought this home and to share it with others who love the North Carolina beaches as much as we do!! Growing up "beaching" during the summer with extended family in North Carolina made me realize that one day I would make North Carolina home. I am so lucky that my husband shared that love and dream with me once he experienced a week at the beach. We hope you will enjoy the beauty of this area as much as our family does.
