Winter Retreat!

This house was the perfect winter retreat! Even in the colder weather, we loved cozying up on the big front porch and listening to the waves. The house was warm, inviting, and in a great spot for exploring—walks on the quiet beach, visiting the aquarium, and checking out local shops made for a fun getaway. A wonderful stay, even in the off-season!

Perfect Beach Getaway

Hollis House was the perfect beach getaway! The location was quiet yet close to everything, and we loved hearing the ocean from the front porch. The house was clean, cozy, and had plenty of space for our family. Parking was easy, and the short walk to the beach made our stay even better. We would love to come back

Needs lots of cleaning and updates.

The house was misrepresented in photos and I was not pleased. Definitely dated now and needs some updates to align with the photos. The shower head was covered in mold. The beds have no slats under them and sag; also the frames are zip tied. Very uncomfortable! I tried to use a pan to cook one morning and it was nasty, covered in dried food. The cups were in the same condition and placed in the cabinet for use as well as the utensils. Overall, cleanliness was lacking in general. There is no water pressure and the toilet is a poor excuse as nothing flushes!!! Overall, I'm displeased, and ended our stay early. The only pros was location - walking distance to restaurants and just 5 houses to the public beach access. However I wouldn’t recommend this house or ever stay here again.

Affordable, adorable, convenient

We loved our stay at Hollis house! The home was the perfect size for a family of 5 and very affordable considering the location. We enjoyed the big front porch and have a washer and dryer on site was very convenient. Beach access is about 3 blocks down the street so bring a wagon if you have small ones with lots of beach toys! The beaches are beautiful and even in the middle of July we’re never crowded. The home is about a 15 minute walk away from the boardwalk & arcade, also very convenient. We will absolutely be coming back next year! The only this I have is the house might need a good deep cleaning. Some sand in the pull out couches and left over pet hair from previous renters I found when I was sweeping up after our family. Definitely things that happen at a pet friendly Beach residence.

Beach Getaway

Property was very convenient to beach/shopping /restaurants. However, neighborhood was pretty noisy at night. If you are bringing a dog, be aware that after booking you will be told to keep dogs off furniture/beds, which is ridiculous. Bed spreads and furniture covers need washed in between guests for as much as you are charged for cleaning/pet fee (pull out sofas were filthy underneath the cushions). Also, found 2 cockroaches in master bedroom 2 separate nights (coming from locked closet in bedroom). Also found 1 dead cockroach under dirty sink. Laundry room is cluttered, dirty and musty smelling. Flooring needs updated with waterproof laminate that is beach friendly. Walls are peeling and needs freeh coat of paint. Outside of property and underneath house is dirty (full of trash) and unkept.

Great family vacation

The Hollis House was the perfect fit for our family. The large porch was great for relaxing or spending family time eating at the picnic table. We had everything needed to cook a meal or go to the great restaurants near by. We would stay again.

Great house for short stay.

The house is in a great location and walkable to just about everything. The house has enough amenities to get you through a week, however it could use some TLC and updating. Overall we had a great time and plan on coming back to Carolina Beach.

The location was great. We were a short walking distance from the beach. The house was okay. The kitchen was spacious and so was the living room. The bedrooms were an acceptable size. However, the bathroom was tiny, it didn't have an exhaust fan, and the shower head and shower curtain were dirty and disgusting. Also, the shower was very small and dark. The house had an odor and the electrical looked outdated. TV and Roku worked fine. But everything was dated and needed a lot of TLC. The pictures definitely did not accurately represent the house. We will not be staying there again.
