Plenty of room to have more than one family to enjoy although a few things need to be addressed. About half the beds didn't sleep well, nails sticking through the steps going upstairs, handrail knobs are rotten and fall off. There's a couple holes in the back deck and sketchy stairs leading to upstairs rooms. Other than that, great location, house was clean just needs updates. Only 3 parking spots for 9 bedrooms and they are tight. Wouldn't stay here again but we will use carolina beach realty again. They are a great company and i didn't report any issues to them this time but they have always been responsive to any issues before. In other words, good place for some but not us, we had 3 people with us that used wheelchairs or crutches and the porches and steps were not in great shape for them to pull up.

Historical beauty by the beach

This home provides a close stay with plenty of room for a full house of guests. The communication between the management and myself was fantastic! They provided all of the information and updates needed throughout the stay. It's a wonderful home! Definitely would recommend.Make sure to bring extra pillows, blankets, and soap as they do not provide these.
