Relaxing Vacation

The home was surprisingly spacious and welcoming. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The house is situated in a beautiful neighborhood, and the beach is about a 5-10 minute walk. Close to some really delicious local favorites too (Butts and Such, Uncle Vinny’s, and the Peach Cobbler Factory). The fact that it is a pet friendly property is a plus, so the entire family can enjoy a vacation! 🐾

Mackerel House

The house was very nice HOWEVER the sofa was AWFUL. It was so dirty it literally smelled. Fortunately our son lived in Carolina Beach so he could go home and get blankets and Frabreeze to cover it so we could use it. The TV remotes were not working properly at all. One guest could turn off their TV and another rooms TV would automatically go on. Minor as it may seem, the kitchen silverware was not good. We loved the neighborhood and the condo was sufficiently supplied. happened time and time again

Great house and location!

We stayed at the Mack #2 to be close to a wedding venue and also the beach! It was the perfect location to both. I can’t say enough nice things about the house. Everything was clean and ready to go upon our arrival. The outdoor shower was perfect to rinse off after the beach. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and both balconies. We had to reach out to VACASA a couple of times and each time they were quick to respond and very helpful each time! We hope to come stay again in the future to make more memories !

Wonderful trip

My husband went on this vacation with our little dog. We had invited our children and grandchildren but they couldn’t make it, so it was just the 2 of us with so much room. It was a wonderful trip. The home is beautiful and had a very clean smell to it when we arrived. Loved the back yard for my girl to be let outside without her leash. We could not have ask for a better experience. Thank you Vacasa and thank your cleaning staff.

Lovely home near the beach!

Home was very pretty and clean. Close proximity to the beach and having access to the golf cart was a big plus!! The beds weren’t very comfortable and the water pressure left something to be desired but we made due. All in all it was a fun place to get away for a few days.

Great Stay!

This home is very spacious and well maintained. It’s within very close proximity to the beach (you can hear the waves from the home) and also close to many local eateries. This home is definitely dog friendly, we enjoyed having the private fenced in backyard for our pup. The internet was super fast and the owner had several steaming services available for viewing. Overall, this is a great property, would certainly rent again!

Great stay

Pro’s: Newer property, very clean, nice furniture. Golf cart was a really great amenity and also the outdoor shower. Con’s: Many stairs that are fairly steep. Also, it would have been nice if some standard items like dishwasher detergent, trash bags, laundry detergent would have been provided. Also, there is not a grill available. Only reason I deducted a star. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend.

Great size and location

We loved the house and the location. It was our first time to Carolina Beach and we have plans of returning. The place was very spacious and the beds were comfortable. I couldn’t give it 5 stars because the ice maker didn’t work (apparently had been broken but no one said anything about it). The dishwasher was broken as well. Maintenance came out to look at the dishwasher but couldn’t really do anything about it. We use plastic and paperware most of the time anyways. Make sure to bring your own pots and pans because there isn’t to much to choose from. The silverware, if you choose to use it, is very odd shaped!! The floors were not very clean when we arrived and there was still wet laundry in the dryer that had never been turned on!! Vacasa was quick to respond and offered to come back out and do the floors but we had already moved our stuff in. Overall a very nice place just some issues that we had never had to deal with before when renting!

Mack 1

Me, my wife, and 1 yr old son stayed in Mack 1 for our 3 year anniversary. We booked this listing under the impression a golf cart was included. The reviews mention multiple previous renters utilizing the golf cart and a picture of the golf cart was in the listing pictures when we booked. Upon arrival after picking up glass out of the driveway (it was offered to come clean up and I declined as I had already picked it up because I didn’t want my 1 yr old getting hurt) I inquired about golf cart keys/charging cable. I was told the golf cart wasn’t listed as an amenity for the home. Very disappointing and false advertisement in my opinion as the listing had a blatant picture of golf cart (deleted now), reviews stated previous renters utilized the golf cart, and the golf cart is on the property. We were not offered any compensation for this. Do not be confused by the other reviews, the golf cart IS NOT included with this property. The location is good about 5 blocks from the beach I believe. Decent fenced in area for pets. Outside shower does work. Like other reviews mention, there are a lot of scuffs on walls throughout the house and a coat of good paint would go a long way on this property. As we arrived, we followed the trash truck, evidently the cans for this property were not set out because both were full the entire stay. All furniture seemed ok with exception of the couch which was worn and had slight smell. I’d also recommend adding a grill to property and more pots/pans.

Nice location and awesome golf cart

We rented #1 Mack. House was super clean. Location was near the beach and it was an easy walk to the beach. Golf cart was a huge plus. House was not fully stocked as someone's review stated. In fact, it had the minimal amount of things in it. It might have been that the duplex is for sale. It really didn't seem like it was set up to be a rental. We have rented a lot of beach houses in the past and have never seen a place so empty. It would be nice if there were some hangers in the closets, some beach towels, some wine glasses, some bakeware and serving dishes, and better quality pots and pans. We thought it was pricey for what you got. We like to cook a lot and it was very difficult with what we had to work with. If I had known what was there I would have brought some of my own stuff.

Minor maintenance needed

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. The golf cart was the best addition as you don't have to pay to park at the beach. The home is well decorated and modern. Pros-comfortable bed, golf cart, wonderful couch, tons of places to sleep. The bedding was very comfortable and pretty! Cons-this didn't affect us, but might some. The previous guests left dog poop in the back yard. There was trash on the side of the yard in several places. (in saying this, we don't know if it was from the wind or not). We could have used some blankets. The bedding is pretty but lightweight; most people like to sleep a little colder at night but we couldn't. There is one blanket on the couch. This suggestion didn't affect us-the entire inside is painted with flat paint. It is really getting scuffed easily and esp in the bathroom. If it is ever repainted, I suggest a possible eggshell paint to like classy but also can be cleaned (ESP in the bathroom which had a ton of streaks from the water). Gorgeous property!

Amazing Getaway

We were somewhat skeptical of this property due to the limited number of reviews but we had an amazing stay! The property was pristine and had more than enough space to accommodate everyone in our party of 9 (4 adults, 5 kiddos) and the location was close to everything we needed. To top things off, there is even a golf cart provided which seats 6; we were able to get to the beach, restaurants, and boardwalk in a flash.

EXCELLENT!!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the #1 Mack! Everything seemed brand new. It was super clean and comfortable. Fully stocked with everything you need for a week. I loved the huge tv in the living room for watching movies at night. The golf cart made it so easy to get everything to the beach that the distance didn’t even matter. We took to the golf cart to the beach, shops, restaurants, aquarium, really everywhere. Great private fenced in back yard for the family and pups to play. I will be booking again for sure!

Really enjoyed the golf cart, so I didn’t have to walk or load up the car for rides to the beach and around town. All amenities were excellent! TV’s, WiFi and electronics were super. 100% will stay there again. Great central location.
