"Clean room, great staff and friendly atmosphere"

10/10 Excellent

"It was a wonderful experience. The suite was clean, tidy, beautiful, and comfortable—I felt right at home. The staff were also fantastic and helpful. My family and I have decided to return soon and book the same suite. 💯💯 By the way, the photos on the website don't do the suite justice; it is much more beautiful in reality. 👌"

8/10 Good

"The condo had beautiful views and was directly on the beach. Parking was great and right under the condo. The condo had all needed amenities. There was a few things that could have been cleaner such as the bathroom but was tolerable. My biggest issue were the laundry doors were broken and would stay open blocking the living area. It was a nuisance but not the worst thing. The condo was dated but again it was ok because it was so close to the beach."

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful views of the ocean and Carolina Beach. The condo was beautiful and looks recently updated. Bright, spacious, and comfortable. Ample supplies in the kitchen. Bedrooms were roomy. Nice having a washer and dryer in the unit. Huge deck over looking ocean with very nice furniture on deck. Beach chairs were also available for use. Great for families. Plenty of room for everyone. Also walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the boardwalk. Check was quick and easy. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this property."
