Amazing getaway with everything you need

We booked this house for our vacation to Carolina beach. We could not be happier with everything. The house is in a beautiful neighborhood, there’s a big beautiful park just 2 blocks away for dogs and pickleball and everything in between. It’s such a short trip to the beach or to the boardwalk/ carnival games and rides. We went into this trip more focused on Wilmington and this house and the beach just pulled us right in. Every morning was a quick coffee run and then off to the beach. So many places to eat and shop and really get that ocean vibe. The town is super clean and it’s such an oasis, this house bing apart of it all. In the past we rented homes that were really cluttered and felt like you were staying over a friends house instead of actually renting a house for vacation. Not this house! Walking in u instantly feel just how much room you have. Large laundry room and a nice wide hallway that leads to a gorgus living room and kitchen with enough room for anything. The bedrooms were all gorgeous and there is more than enough bathrooms for everyone. The house was beyond clean (that’s always a must for us). There is a back patio with lounge chairs and a killer grill. There’s even a place upstairs for babies and there’s even a high chair for the dinner table. We just felt there was lots of thought put into this rental for our comfort. Overall it was just an amazing trip and we feel this house really played a big part in that. Definitely coming back here as soon as we can!!
