My family and I traveled to Carolina Beach with 2 other families, so we had a full house! The bedroom and bathroom layout of this home made it well suited for our needs. There was a lot of space, and the openness of the living areas let us all be together without feeling like we were on top of each other.
The kitchen had more than enough coffee cups, glasses, plates, bowls, pots/pans, and silverware, so we never ran out of what we needed. However, there aren't a lot of storage dishes, so you may want to bring your own for leftovers, or pick up some press and seal or tinfoil on your way in. The fridge was a good size, but the ice machine/mini fridge in the living room came in clutch for our group!
Having the outdoor shower and all of the beach items on the ground level was also really nice. The kids enjoyed the boogie boards, but they're all a little broken, so if you're traveling by car, you may still want to bring your own.
The home is beach front, so it made coming and going to the beach really easy. You can technically see the ocean from the bottom floor deck, but you can't see the shore, so you can't keep an eye on anyone from the house. The view is a little better from the 2nd floor deck, but that's only accessible from the master bedroom.
Our only negative feedback is that the home is in need of some updating and maintenance. The deck boards, rails, etc are showing wear, the landscaping on the side of the home scrapes against the home, so that can be loud when you're trying to sleep, and the beds/mattresses are a little rickety. It's still a great property, with great space, but you can tell it's been a rental for a while. I would still recommend it though, and iTrip provided great customer service!
