Beautiful home and the owners were wonderful. We had a question about their appliance and they called us in few minutes to help! Loved being so close to the beach!
We had a great time. The property was spotless. The elevator was a blessing for my 87 year old mom. Enjoyed the game room and the host responded immediately if we had a question. Great stay.
This house offers a beautifully upgraded interior. The elevator was key for my father. Lots of games and things to do. There is a short walk to Freeman Beach.
Well, the grands kept asking if we could live here! This home is spacious, clean, elevator a plus, bedrooms easily parceled out, and all rooms nicely decored. The lower level rec room was perfect for games, pool table, chalks for the littles and plenty of seating. Onsite laundry, so handy! We did have to Google how to use an induction cooktop stove, but once we mastered that delicious meals were made. Close walk to Carolina Beach, and close drives to all the places we wanted to go to! Highly recommend Just for the Shell of It!
Beautiful Home Away from Home; Perfection All the Way Around
This gorgeous home has everything you need for a great beach vacation! This home is perfect for a family or a group of friends. Short walk to the beach, gorgeous kitchen and family room for gathering, game room downstairs. Upon arrival, load up the elevator and unpack once it’s upstairs. Totally unload in one trip and zero steps! We have rented MANY VRBO homes and this home certainly ranks in FIRST place! We highly recommend with ZERO hesitation!!!
House was great for our family of 9 adults. Well stocked kitchen and the game room on the lower level was terrific. A total fun experience for the week.
We loved this rental. House was so clean and had everything we needed. The location was super convenient-it’s super close to Carolina Beach and Freeman Beach.
One of the best features of the house is the amazing game room! It was a great place yo hang out on rainy days.
This was a perfect beach house! Everything was super clean and tidy. The kitchen had everything we needed for a little light cooking while on vacation. It was so nice not to have to bring beach chairs and towels as those were all provided! And, so close to the beach - very easy walk.
Great home with all you could ask for when heading to a beach location. And, most importantly, very clean and well kept. Don't always find this on a beach trip. The dogs loved it as well. Elevator was a definite plus on packing in and out. Finally, the short walk to the beach, and 2 block drive to the 4 wheel beach, provided the best for the beach life.
The house and location were perfect for my family-it was wonderfully clean with up to date appliances and stocked with great kitchen supplies needed for our Easter dinner. Great pet friendly environment! Felt large and airy in the great room with an amazing game room in the lower area! Property managers were readily available for questions that arose with different devices solving any issues quickly.
We were so impressed with the care applied to the set up an stocking of the property. The owners thought of everything from Games to having enough serving dishes. The beds and linens were of good quality and the property was spotless. Definitely recommend this place to others.
We had a wonderful stay. This is a beautiful home! There is a large, well stocked kitchen and eating area, big family room with plenty of room to relax. Tastefully decorated. Huge game room downstairs. Property is so close to the beach. The owners were friendly and very responsive. Highly recommend!
We really enjoyed this house.
The elevator from the first floor to the second floor was an unexpected surprise and a great help for the Senior in our party.
The first floor game room was perfect for all the teenage boys.
If you rent this house bring your 4 wheel drive vehicles so you can drive out on the beach at the end of the road. It is a very short distance to that part of the beach.
House is well stocked with beach towels, beach chairs, and beach games.
We are coming back!
Working with the owner was delightful and it was easy from start to finish. We enjoyed our stay there very much. Pictures are accurate. House was spotless. A perfect fit for our family.
