Carolina Beach Cottage Paws Welcome!

Come and swim in our beautiful ocean and enjoy a worry free vacation. Awesome modern beach cottage - located 2 blocks from the ocean, 2 blocks from the Boardwalk, and one block from marina and party boats. The cottage is also just a few miles from the Wilmington river walk just voted the 2nd best in the USA! Beautiful Italian tile kitchen with travertine counter tops. Cherry floors in the den, heart of pine shiplap paneling in the sunroom. Master bedroom with queen bed has an open rain shower in the master bath. Large deck on back with gas grill is great for entertaining. Separate laundry room with washer/dryer. Top of the line linens, toiletries, paper towels, napkins, etc. is supplied- just bring your clothes. Backyard with six foot privacy fence for security. Once you park there's no need to drive - walking distance to restaurants, bars, boardwalk rides, party and fishing charters, shops and more. I also have room for a boat if you bring one. Rent a street legal golf cart and explore the charm of the back streets, or rent a 4 wheel drive Jeep and explore the sandy beach at the North end. Visit the state park, walk the nature trails, and see Venus flytraps, pitcher plants, and sun dews growing naturally. This one is really nice - Flat screen TV's, cable, and high speed Wi-Fi internet. During peak season only 7 day reservations from Saturday to Saturday are accepted. This insures everyone will be able to stay a full week. After peak season 5 day minimums are accepted.

Little blue house!!!
The location of this property was wonderful. We walked almost everywhere. The beach, Britts Doughnuts,the book store. The Celtic Creamery was amazing and less than 5 min walk. We really enjoyed our stay. Corey was great about communicating. Thank you Corey!!

Had a wonderful vacation. Wish the decks were clean and the back yard was clean. Fence was broken but rain had been terrible…probably had some effect on stability. Wonderful owner!

Property was a short walk (a couple blocks) from boardwalk, downtown, and beach. Room enough for our family of six and dog.

Close to the beach is the only plus
I was going to be kind in my review but now that the host is trying to get us to pay for a cleaning that this house hasn't seen in years, I'll just be truthful. (Word of advice to the host: most people would be more than happy to pay a cleaning fee than be expected to clean a house top to bottom at the end of a vacation. And if you actually expect people to clean your "private residence", you might want to say that instead of writing snide comments on a piece of paper and hope they understand what is implied. We just thought you were being cranky.) The house sits directly next to an abandoned boarded up house and across the street from low-income, shabby apartments, making it less than ideal for small children to be outside unaccompanied, especially after dark (like during the week of July 4th). The house is in poor condition. From basic fixes (shower and closet doors off-track) to needing more extensive repairs (water damage throughout the house, sliding back door that doesn't seal or lock, shower fixtures in poor working order). The beds are old and uncomfortable. The house is full of cobwebs and pet hair and the carpets are stained (air fresheners don't cover up stink). We had to roll up the rug in the kitchen because whatever was in it was triggering allergies. We tried to wash the "clean" bed sheets that were full of pet hair but then discovered the washer didn't work consistently, so got one load to actually wash, rinse, and drain and gave up on trying to wash anything else. We knew the washer worked at some point because of the load that was left to dry stuck to the sides of the washer. Of course that went right along with the dried coffee grounds left in the coffee maker. We were going to try to vacuum but the duct tape on the canister did not suggest we would have any better luck than with the washer, so we left it alone. The front and back porch were not inviting, with furniture full of dead bug's, cobwebs and just dirty. The back yard, being a pet friendly place, is not someplace you can let the kids run around in - we were greeted with evidence of the previous pets' as we were doing our first walkthrough. The grill is about rusted out, so use with caution. Overall, it was a roof over our heads when it was raining and walking distance to the beach.

Great location
This cottage has a great location to beach and board walk. The cottage could have been a little cleaner, furniture and beds updated, less decorative pillows and clutter.

Enjoyable and fun family cottage near beach and boardwalk!
Our family had a wonderful time during our stay at this cottage near the beach and boardwalk! Overall, the home was very comfortable and welcoming. We made a lot of great memories here, and I'm very thankful for the opportunity that it provided us (very affordable, spacious, three bathrooms, and within walking distance to many area attractions in Carolina Beach). We all had enough privacy and plenty of space for two adults and three children to enjoy meals and family time together. We enjoyed walking to the beach at night to catch ghost crabs! Very close to the boardwalk and entertainment. My family and I had some concerns with the behaviors of other individuals that we had witnessed in the neighborhood, but thankful for the police presence. I also was hoping to enjoy more time on the front and back porch, but hopefully with some more cleaning and basic updates (light switch with lights on back porch) those areas will be more suitable and accessible for the next family stay. We had to turn up the heat on the water heater a little, and I had to learn how to sign up for ROKU to be able to watch TV. But, I was thankful that the owner was only a text or phone call away to help us out! I would stay here again, and would recommend it for other families as well. It's a very nice cottage near a really fun beach / boardwalk / state park area. We will treasure the memories and our time here!
