Don’t hesitate - just book it!
This roomy townhouse was perfect! There is a parking spot a few feet from the front door, which made unpacking and packing a breeze. It was very clean and incredibly well-stocked. The host went above and beyond to make sure there is everything you need for a comfortable stay. The decor is stylish yet cozy. The open concept kitchen/living area downstairs provides lots of gathering space. The upstairs bedroom opens to a balcony (with a swing - much to the delight of everyone in my group!) overlooking the ocean. The views are incredible! We visited during the winter and we were able to have our morning coffee in our slippers and robes watching the sunrise without getting cold and sandy on the beach. For parents with pre-teen to older kids, you cannot beat this spot. They have direct access to the beach, and you can see them on the beach from the balcony! There are sidewalks most of the way to the pier and a few cute restaurants, and it’s not a far walk. The house is about five minutes from a charming aquarium that is probably best suited for smaller kids, but it’s pretty great when considering the affordable entrance fee. It’s also a short drive to Wilmington, which is a quaint city with lots to do. We enjoyed the USS North Carolina, the riverwalk, and the botanical gardens. Robyn was a fantastic host. We travelled on a major holiday and she was super responsive and helpful from booking throughout. We appreciated her list of the best restaurants. We hope to return next year!

Beautiful property. Spacious rooms. Close to pier. Steps away from the ocean! Our only issue was we’re not able to get inside but host fixed that and let us check out late. We had a great weekend and I’d definitely rent this property again!

Perfect family vacation!
My aunt, cousin, sister and I rented this beautiful oceanfront property for a four-night stay. This unit was perfect for us and our group. It was a little smaller than it appeared in the picture but that did not matter to us at all. It was so well decorated. It was comfortable and cozy and the perfect place for family to reconnect. The ocean is right outside your balcony and the sun rises are gorgeous. We went to the aquarium and Fort Fisher as well as Carolina Beach. We had one dinner at Mackerel Jacks and lunch at The Spot. We love them both! The locals were so friendly and so much fun. And we had plenty of time for serene and quiet as once again the beach was right outside our back door. Robyn was the perfect host and we couldn't have asked for more! Thank you Robyn and Verbo for a wonderful vacation!!

Consistently Great
This is our second time renting Seaside Escape, and as before we had a great stay. First, the property is in an outstanding location. Right on the beach. Walk out the back door, across the causeway, and you're there. Walking distance to restaurants and a short drive to the USS North Carolina, aquarium, and a number of other attractions. Second, the host is fantastic. She's attentive and was concerned enough to make us aware of the riptide caused by hurricane Lee. We have a family of 7 with one of our kids being special needs. Plenty of room for all of us, and we're already planning to return next year.

Cute place great location
My family and I enjoyed our stay. There were things that made it uncomfortable at times. When we arrived I went to make the bed with the sheets provided and they smelled really bad like mildew. I had to rewash and dry them. I recommend bringing your own sheets the ones provided were the cheap ones that make you sweat. Also the beds are memory foam and don’t breath so you will wake up hot. It was super cold downstairs and hot upstairs. The water pressure was super low in the shower so very hard to rinse the soap out of your hair. The place was cute and the location was lovely.

Great family vacation
This property was perfect for our one week stay. The view from the 2nd floor bedroom was amazing! The bedrooms were all a nice size. There are full bathrooms downstairs and upstairs. It was a great layout for our family (kids ages 11, 13, 15). The house was less than a one minute walk to the beach. Even on 4th of July week we had plenty of space on the beach for our family to spread out and enjoy the ocean. The beach and water were perfect. Our teens bodysurfed and boogie boarded all day every day. Sand tools and chairs were provided at the house. I would recommend renting chairs and umbrellas. It was a windy beach and our umbrellas couldn’t handle the wind. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils. Washer and dryer were small so I would not plan to do your laundry other than small loads. In the evening we walked to the pier (15-20 min) to watch the fishing, play in the arcade and enjoy ice cream. The prices at the pier for gear, shirts, trinkets is better than the other beach stores.

Family Beach Getaway
We had an excellent beach getaway after a busy school year, and Robyn's place was the central hub of our long weekend. The recent renovations were a delightful surprise, and it was superbly clean. Plus, it was plenty spacious, comfortably housing my wife and me, our two boys (4 and 1yo), her parents, and a family friend. However, the best feature by far was the two porches (one upper and one lower level) with direct beach access (~100 ft walk). It was a wonderful property that helped us make many memories!

Great Host
The host was super nice and very helpful. The property is smaller than I expected but as everyone knows, photos now can make things look 10x larger than they are. There's very little room for "hang out space", but you're at the beach and so I assume you'd be out there and not inside- but if it rains be aware that the living area is small. There's very little space for cooking and prep work. Additionally there is NO space for storage of food- not to the owners fault since there's plenty of plates and cookware. But if you're coming prepared to cook 3 meals a day for a couple days- you'll have nowhere to store food except for the table or the frig. Your balcony off the upstairs master is somewhat private and you can see the ocean from it. The porch downstairs is not private at all and you are unable to see the ocean due to the dunes. You're able to walk right out to the beach but it's a nice little walk. I'm not going to comment on the cleanliness since my husband says I am not "normal" in what I expect for cleaning. Overall a good stay.

Family get together
We wanted a place at the beach right on the ocean that would accommodate eight people ages 84 to 12. This property answered our needs and had amenities that were satisfactory. The town was a quiet town perfect for the size and ages of our family. We celebrated 5 July birthdays. We were disappointed that grills were not permitted by the town but we made due. We visited the Aquarium at Ft Fisher, had dinners in Kure Beach, Southport and Wilmington all within driving distances of half hour or less. One member of our family is gluten intolerant and all restaurants had offerings to meet her needs.

Great Property, Great Host
If you're looking for a townhouse right on the beach this is for you. The house is steps from the beach (which was never crowded while we were there). Walking distance to restaurants and a late night watering hole. Everything you need to cook in is present in the kitchen. And the view from the balcony off the master bedroom is fantastic. Robyn was never more than a text message away and even recommended places to eat while we were there. We had a great time and could not have more positive things to say about the hosts and their property.

Needs air conditioning fixed
The main improvement needed to ever consider staying at this condo again is for the air conditioner to be fixed. The coolest the place ever reached was 79 degrees which is not satisfactory to us. Although the owners were notified and a repair man came out, it was never fixed and there was no offer to refund any money at all to compensate for the lack of air conditioning in the condo. This was disappointing

Good location but....
When we booked the stay we read a few of the reviews and decided to still give it a try. Overall the rental was mediocre except for the location. When we arrived the place seemed clean but after being there for a few mins we started to notice dirty floors, dirty rugs, and a general lack of attention to basic cleaning. We always wash the dishes that we intend to use once we arrive to any rental. It's a good thing we do because the "clean" plates had food still stuck to them when we pulled them from the cabinet. After unpacking I went to the freezer to get some ice from the ice maker, no joy. The rental listed an ice maker but their wasn't one. The kids tracked in some sand from their walk on the baech and we wanted clean it up. We looked but there wasn't a broom or vacuum cleaner. There was a dust pan and a swiffer but the swiffer sheets were dry. That night for dinner my wife cooked and that was a challenge. The main burner had one heat setting, hell. Even on low it was too hot to cook on one side. Dont even get me going on the frying pan. So off to the store we go to get a ice, a broom, and a decent frying pan. After my store run for supplies I decided to go out on the porch. There were two rocking chairs and I used one which ended up scratching me due to a popped up nail. The chairs needed a little tlc and some paint to say the least. At this point our teenagers were looking to get on the internet so we followed the instructions we were sent. I texted Robyn and after a few very responsive texts we got online. The instructions she emailed for check in were not correct. Now parking is an issue if you have 2 cars. The ad states there are 3 guest spaces, there is only one. We got lucky and locked up the only guest spot. So if you have 2 cars you will chance paying big dollars to park during your stay. Now the next parking issue is not an issue with the owner but an issue with the towns of Carolina and Kure Beach. Be prepared to pay to park to enjoy the shops and restaurants. Carolina Beach is paid parking April to October and runs from 8am to 10 pm and many of their meters do not work. They force you to download a parking app to pay to park. Kure Beach has basically the same deal but their paid parking hours are 8am to 5pm. This alone is the reason we will never visit this area again. On the bright side, the rental was in a great location and was really convenient to walk right out on the beach but some little fixes would go along way.

Perfect location!
The location was perfect! Literally just steps from the beach. The unit was very comfortable and there is a great view from the second-floor deck. Our only complaint is that it wasn't as clean as we have come to expect with other VRBO rentals. It seems she may have forgotten we were coming and did not have much time to prepare for our arrival, but otherwise we had a great time.

Our September trip was the perfect get-away. Walk down off the porch and you're on the beach! What could be better? The home itself was comfortable.

Perfect for a family get-away!
We had a wonderful time this past week staying at this property despite a bit of rain and wind! The townhouse had a great location and getting to and from the beach with young kids was super easy. It was nice having the back porch to store beach supplies and clean off with the shower. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck upstairs off of the master bedroom - great for star gazing! Wifi worked great and helped for our remote learner to do schoolwork while we were there. Communication with the owner was great. There were a couple of minor maintenance issues which the owner was aware and sounded like were in process of fixing. Overall we were pretty pleased with the rental and it made for a great get-away! Thank you!

Great location
House was exactly as explained, there were a few maintenance issues while we were there but the owners were quick to respond, parking was not an issue for us because we came towards the end of the season but I can quickly imagine it becoming an issue in the busy season, there is only one designated spot per unit and then 4 guest spots so if you have 2 cars or more this could be an issue but street parking is free just not guaranteed. The best view is off the master bedroom porch so that was inconvenient in the respect that you had to go through the bedroom to see the sunrise etc. making it hard for others, the view from the downstairs porch was a little blocked by the sea grass and dunes that naturally protect the house . Overall we had a nice stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Perfect family home on the beach
Our family had a great time on our 1 week stay here. The layout was perfect for a family with kids and a MIL, too. Really, we were there for the location. That's everything when you're driving all the way from Missouri. We loved how we could go to the beach several times a day. In fact, we unpacked out beach tent and supplies and just left them there all day. The beach was semi private with not too many visitors. We were able to visit publix and several area beaches, too while we were here. I can't say much about restaurants because of Covid-19 we didn't eat out much but the kitchen was great and we were able to cook a lot of our meals. The owner was nice and replied quickly to any communication we had. Would stay here again, for sure.

Great location on the Beach
It was a very good location, away from the crowds of Carolina Beach but close enough to get good takeout dinners. The beds were comfortable and the overall decor of the place was very nice and "beachy". This is the first of 5 townhouses that share a common wall, which was fairly well insulated against noise. The only downside is the scale of the living room area which is one room containing living, dining, and kitchen. It's a bit small, especially if you do max out the guest capacity. We were comfortable with 4 adults using 3 bedrooms. I will say that this unit is right next to a public beach access, so crowds can be a bit much and you get a little extra noise but nothing too bad. It was great to have a master bedroom with a balcony to look at the beach on the 2nd floor and a porch on the 1st floor. Very quick to get to some great food options. Would definately go back.
