A Summer's Rest is absolutely adorable! It's quite roomy for a "little" cottage and its decorated beautifully and little hands can't get into too much mischief :)It was clean and had all the basics we would need for our 2 night stay.Booking on VRBO was seamless and Chris, the owner, was fabulous in communicating. And, he was super fabulous the day we were leaving when an unexpected issue arose.Not only would I stay at A Summer's Rest again but I would recommend it to everyone I know who planned on vacationing at Carolina Beach.OH!

Jun 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short summer get away We came down just for the weekdays as we dont like the beach too crowded. Myself ,wife and daughter(9) loved the location. The house sits off the beach a little but is still ocean front. We loved having the volleyball court and being able to walk on and off the beach. The house was perfect for what we wanted, the little soft serve ice cream was a hit with my daughter of course( would not advise the black cherry, my daughter had many key lime and my favorite was the pecan,ask for samples if unsure). Myself and my daughter are huge Britts doughnut supporters so the morning beach walks were great, tiki bar a short walk was great as well. We got some recommendations from the owner Chris and he was spot on for places to dine. Thursday night fireworks are always a hit for the family.We come atleast one time a yr sometimes 3-4 depending on whats going on. We will definitely keep a eye open for a open time slot here again. Thanks for the great accommodations and killer recommendations. Cheers, til next time ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4d1b1553-b5df-4ab1-b84f-b3608495e944-1751059172650.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Brent R.

This place was absolutely AMAZING... it was a yearly girls trip that we take every year at Carolina Beach ..we have stayed in many houses at carolina but this has to be one of my all time FAVORITES.. Beautiful little house with so much to do .. the fire pit was one of our favorite things ..great location with a gorgeous view of the beach . The owner was amazing quick to respond to any questions we had about anything.. cant wait to book this house again very soon. ##### Jami C.

We stayed a week with 4 adults and 3 grandkids- 2,4,6. Absolute blast, all only crying was when we left. 50 steps from beach access, across the street is soft serve ice cream. The back yard is remarkably private. We will be back 👍 ##### PETER G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### John J. Aug 28, 2018 #### Average property that rests on the merits of its ideal location and amenities. The property itself was ideal -- location was very good and near major activities. You can walk or bike to any of the nearby restaurants or the "downtown" area. The home itself is a little dated -- but that doesn't necessarily detract from the overall experience. Everything worked as described and was clean. ##### John J. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol S.

The kids loved the sand volley ball court and used all the toys available under the house to build castles in the sand. The fire pit was AWESOME, and there were lots of warm throw blankets to snuggle with. The house is as advertised - an original cottage style home with all the upgrades. We loved it! ##### Carol S.

We are a family of 5 with kids ranging in age 15-19. This house was perfect for us. We spent most of our time in the yard playing volleyball and other outdoor games. It was also nice to have restaurants within a mile walk and the ocean so close. I enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning with my coffee looking at the ocean. Loved this house! ##### Bridget M.

Sep 8, 2013 #### Awesome House We stayed at this house over Labor Day weekend and had a fantastic experience! The house was in excellent condition and very clean. It was just a few steps from the ocean and also very convenient to everything else in Carolina beach. It was a perfect house for our family with two small children. The owner was super easy to work with and very accommodating. I would highly recommend it for your beach stay! ##### Rochelle C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexandra D.

We had 6 people- 2 toddlers and 4 adults. This house was perfect! A great kitchen, cozy living room with a play area, and the rooms were just perfect for the 6 of us! Chris made everything perfect. Would come back here 500x more times. Such a relaxing vacation and great area! Loved this house! ##### Alexandra D.
