CB Condo
Nice Condo, good location. Kitchen was equipped well. Loved the three balconies. Would stay again.
Really nice condo will all the amenities you could need for a short or long stay. The convenience to the beach was a real plus. Loved having plenty of sheets and linens that smelled lovely. The pillows, were too hard for my taste, it would be nice to have some allergy pillow protectors and also some larger and softer pillows as options to use.Thanks for the great stay - we hope to return.

Carolina Beach Vacation
We really enjoyed staying at this unit. It's very nice and comfortable. The boardwalk was within walking distance which our children enjoyed. We also enjoyed walking around the Carolina lake which was within walking distance as well. We drove a mini van and a truck. The parking was really tight. Nice family beach and would return.

The view was breathtaking!!
It was very hard for us to leave the house. It was really nice and very suitably furnished.
But the 3!!! balconies were the best thing about this house. We will definitely come back.

Sunrises and Balconies
The unit looked just like the photos in the Vacasa listing.
We loved the privacy three bedrooms and bathrooms allowed. We lived on the balconies when we were home.
The location was great. Don't miss taking the ferry to South Port. We were there during the Azalea Festival so lucked out in seeing beautiful blooms everywhere. I would recommend this unit and location. We had a wonderful vacation. Thanks.
The house is beautiful. When you enter the home, you immediately walk up about 15 stairs to the second floor. The Kitchen, living area (with a balcony), half bath, laundry room are on this floor. Up another flight of stairs, are two more bedrooms. One with bunk beds and a full bath. The other with a queen bed, full bath, and balcony. Up another flight of stairs is the third bedroom (queen bed) with a full bath and balcony. I watch the sunrise from my balcony several mornings. Each bedroom having it's own bathroom makes this rental perfect for an extended family.

Great location!!!
Great location! If you go out the back door of the garage you walk right into sand and it is a few steps away from the entrance to the beach. So convenient! It is a few blocks away from the board walk. We rarely had to drive anywhere. The view from the balconies……amazing! The garage is small so we didn’t attempt to try to fit our Odyssey van in it but it was a great place to store the beach supplies, and the water hose right outside of it was nice to spray the sand off. If you don’t get the code for the garage when you get the rental info call customer service before you arrive. The code is not the same as the main door. We would definitely stay here again.

Almost perfect...
My family of 4 stayed here for a week in August and while the weather was not the best we did think the location and accomodations were quite nice. Each of our children had their own room and bathroom and there was a balcony on each floor for us to enjoy. The kitchen was a decent size as was the living room and dining room. It was also nice to have a half bathroom on the main floor. For the most part the condo felt clean with the exception of a very nasty shower curtain in the master bathroom that was covered in mildew. We went and purchased a clear shower curtain to place over that as I did not want that touching my body when showering. I had read a review previously where there were comments on this so I had expected this to be taken care of by now so I was truly surprised that it had not been. Someone should really attend to this. Additionally, there is black mold on the ceiling of the master bath. Aside from that I really have no complaints. We made the most out of the weather. Having the balconies allowed us to relax and enjoy the view even if we couldn't be on the beach every day. If the owners were to clean up the bathroom I think we would return again.
Great spot close to everything. Parking can be an izzue if you have more than 1 vehicle or a large truck..do some research on parking lots and passes, its worth it.

Go for it!
Look no further if you want to have a great beachfront stay with your family & friends!
The townhouse was very nice, modern and clean. Wonderful ocean view from living room, second floor bedroom and third floor bedroom! Easy access to beach a few steps away and a several stores/eateries and outdoor seating nearby. Easy walk to Carolina Lake for a nice stroll.
Everything was great but the only problem was 2 car parking limit.

Close to Beach
The property is very close to the beach/ocean. It was not as clean as I would have liked. It could definitely use some updates. Overall, we had a good stay there and it was very easy to get to the beach.
very nice ,needs carpet or rugs floors feel like sand everywhere

Fantastic location for peaceful beach getaway!
We loved the three (!) balconies overlooking the beach-- not only a lovely views but since they were off the bedrooms, a great way to have the beautiful sounds of the waves lulling you to sleep. Even though we visited during the off-season, because it's in a less "tourist-y" part of this quiet community, we think it would be much more peaceful even during the summer. The home itself, though not really luxurious, is nicely appointed, and the kitchen has good newer appliances and is well stocked with utensils. Another nice plus is the washer-dryer. We will definitely consider another visit in the future!

Not Vacasa's fault
I had to call rental company twice, I have never had to call a rental company during my stays anywhere. The stovetop was an induction stove and we brought a pot for seafood boil, the pots/pans there weren't all induction pots/pans so we couldn't figure out why we couldn't cook anything for a while. The ceiling leaked in two areas, leaking on our things and bulging water in the ceiling, the vacuum didn't pick up well, we never found a broom or mop to help with the sand in the house. When we got there the house was hot, unloading was miserable. Parking is tight, had to pay $50 for parking for 2 days nearby.
