Great place to stay. Clean and easy walk to the beach.We loved the location and the front porch was fantastic. A bit of a communication issue with a maintenance request but it was resolved quickly. Would stay again!

Cheerful stay

Located just 3 short blocks from the public beach, this is a very comfortable accommodation for a stay at Carolina Beach. We especially loved the screened in porch, what a great place for morning coffee. Restaurants and the boardwalk are within walking distance. Parking is on site. The kitchen was well equipped.

Even though this was the weather event that so unique, we enjoyed our stay. The covered porch was comfortable enough that we spent most of the time outside. The beds was comfy, the kitchen was well equipped and the house was well built for the age. The only complaint was with the rain, the water was pouring over the doorways. But I loved the place. I plan on coming back for my Mom's birthday. She'll love the covered porch.

My family and I really enjoyed staying at this comfortable beach house. The location was fantastic as we could walk to so many things in town - restaurants, the boardwalk, the beach, shopping - but far enough away for some quiet and privacy from the loud crowds. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It also had plenty of space to spread out (so important for teens to have their own space!). This was especially welcome after several rain showers kept us inside during our stay. Five stars for comfort and location. Can’t be beat! Hope to return again someday.

The tree and the porch !!!!

This was the absolute best place I've stayed at on the beach. The tree in the front yard was to die for and the porch was our favorite gathering place for drinks and laughs and I even slept out there the first night!!

Cheerful cottage

Had a great visit here at the cheerful cottage! Excellent location, only a 6 or so minute walk to the beach. In walking distance to a few restaurants/coffee shops. The house is cute, cozy and clean! The hosts were very accommodating and quick to respond to any of our needs or questions.

The house was very cute and comfortably fit me my mom, sisters and girlfriend. Very clean and welcoming. Easy walk to the beach and a fun little neighborhood. The screened in front porch is a great place to spend early mornings and late nights. Loved it, whish we could’ve stayed longer!

Cute Cottage Close to Everything

My family really enjoyed staying in the adorable house! The host has thought of pretty much everything you could need while here. Only a few short blocks walking distance to the boardwalk area, restaurants and shops. The screened in front porch is a great place to hang out. It was too cold for us to enjoy it this trip, but we definitely want to stay here again when summer comes. The host was great with communication. Highly recommend this listing!
