Awesome beach house at Carolina Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Sol Shine! The house is very well equipped and the kitchen has more useful pots, pans, and utensils than most rentals. We were also really surprised and pleased at how truly dog friendly the house is. The couches even had couch covers and there was a basket of dog items by the door. It’s nice to be in a rental and not feel paranoid about having a dog.It was a bit chilly while we were there, but that didn’t matter because there’s a great view of the ocean from the living room! On days when it was a little warmer, we loved sitting out on the deck and the easy access to the beach. We used the downstairs studio for a younger couple in our family. This worked out perfectly for us, but the 2 floors are a little more separate than we had imagined. I highly recommend this house at Carolina Beach! We had such a great time that we already booked a return visit!

Family Vacay

The house was absolutely perfect for our family stay. Being right on the beach is priceless with children ages 2 & 3. The sunrise views in the morning are beautiful & gets your day started on the right foot. Very centrally located - went to the aquarium one morning (10 minutes away), ice cream right across the street, Tiki Bar a few houses down & Publix one mile away. Love the retro feel of Carolina Beach & watched the surfers every day!

Perfect beach house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 5th year renting Sol Shine. It is a great beach house for our family. It is pretty well maintained. We like that it is pet friendly. The charcoal grill downstairs was great to have. It is a great location, close to stores and restaurants. We always look forward to the fireworks and boardwalk for the kids. We love having the extra rooms downstairs for privacy for some family members. House is well equipped with enough seating, kitchen supplies, linens, and board games and puzzles. The deck has ample seating for our family. The dishwasher needs to be replaced. Management said that would be done this week. Everything else in great working order.

Great House Right on the Beach and Fantastic Location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family (all adults) had a wonderful vacation at Sol Shine a few weeks ago! We loved being able to bring our dogs! The location was fantastic; we could walk to bars and restaurants, and of course, the Tiki Bar right on the beach is just steps from our house. There's an ice cream place just across the street, too. The Property Mgt company was great. I realized when I got home that I had left some bathing suits hanging on the back of the bathroom door, and they mailed them to me. The indoor and porch space was perfect for us, although there was not enough outdoor seating for everyone. The view is incredible, so we didn't mind standing up out there to hang out. We also appreciated having a second refrigerator in the garage as well as a nice washing machine and dryer. A few things to note:1. The spiral staircase is in a hot, creepy stairwell that leads from the upstairs to the garage. If going to the downstairs apartment from inside, you go down that spiral staircase that leads to the garage, then walk through the garage to get to the downstairs apartment. We LOVED the apartment, but we always used the outside stairs to go back and forth--even when it was raining. (Side note: we have a spiral staircase in our home and were not phased when we read about one being in this house, but this one is the tiniest one we've ever seen.)2. We had 8 people and there were only 7 forks. We washed dishes a lot.3. There are no beach chairs or umbrellas, so bring your own.4. The bunk beds are very uncomfortable. They may be comfy for small kids but not for adults. The other beds were all very comfortable, though.It was our first time visiting Carolina Beach, and we loved it! We'd definitely come back, and we'd stay at Sol Shine again, too!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an extended stay which allowed our children and grandchildren time to come enjoy the beach with us. The house is very accommodating for multiple actives happening simultaneously. Lots of room to lounge and sleep.The porch is outstanding with lots of chairs and a pleasant outdoor shower to get the sand off when you finish s inning. The only thing missing is a sleeping hammock!As others noted, the indoor showers are a bit small, but that is our only negative comment Eveything else was terrific..

Comforts of Home with a View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was my family’s second time staying at Sol-Shine. The layout of the house was perfect for our group of 6 (the last time we had 8 which also worked). The teens love having their own space in the downstairs apartment and the view from the kitchen/living room cannot be beaten. Our dogs are also huge fans of both the house and its close proximity to the beach.

Excellent Location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved staying at Sol Shine and spending hours on the porch listening to the waves during our March stay. Would give five stars all around other than two things...1. need a new dishwasher or a major cleaning. We hand washed everything. 2. Showers are pretty small. We managed, but someone of larger stature would probably have trouble.

Perfect for Girls Weekend

Everything about this house was just right for our group of 5. The only complaints we had were that the lock box for the key was a bit difficult to open and the showers are really small. But location was perfect and overall property was very nice. Would definitely stay here again!

Bringing in the New Year

Enjoyed our time at this great location on Carolina Beach. Beautiful ocean views and close to a variety of restaurants, bars, etc. Location was close for a short drive to the NC Aquarium and a ferry ride to Southport, which made for a great day. House was comfy and we appreciated the private walkway to the beach to take our fur babies for daily strolls. Had a great view from the back deck for the New Year fireworks display at Kure Beach! Hope to return again soon -- had a great time at Sol Shine!
