Sunny, serene suite. Updated. 2 min walk to beach and amenities. Pet friendly.

In addition, there are many other amenities located within walking distance including restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner and ice cream parlors.

Nice place
Nice, comfortable, little place. Very convenient walk to the beach in a nice neighborhood. Nicely decorated. Comfortable bed. Our initial impression was that it was very clean, but we noticed a lot of dog hair and sand around perimeters and under furniture. Could use a deep cleaning..

Nice place, small but comfortable and clean. There is a grill outside and microwave in. Short walk to the beach, it was quiet, off season of course but a neighborhood that didn’t seem like it’d be noisy regardless.

Wonderful time!
Our family had such a great time at Carolina Beach. The suite was a very quick walk to the ocean (which was awesome as we were travelling with a three year old). The suite was clean and beachy and had everything we needed for our stay. The neighborhood was great and very close to the boardwalk without being loud and chaotic. I would 100% recommend it to a friend. Erin was fantastic with communication and answered all questions. The only note I would make - a few hooks to hang wet items and a shower curtain on the outdoor shower would be awesome and provide a little more privacy in the residential area. Thanks again Erin + Joe - we loved CB and hope to return again soon. :)

Very nice, just some details
We loved our stay. That’s the main thing. Everything was great. Location was perfect and everything was easy and comfortable. Just two tips: the first aid kit needs to be restocked. My partner knicked themselves shaving and there were no bandaids. Also, it’d be a huge plus if there was already soap in the property for showering! Was just a little inconvenient to have to go to the store for soap. Loved our stay!

The property was great! The fenced in back yard area was so nice. We could grill and listen to music and we even had supplied mood lighting and outside furniture supplied! The room was clean and close to the beach! The air conditioning wad the best ive ever had! The owners were nice and answered my text quickly! Having a fully supplied vacation space was great, they even supplied beach supplies! Wagon, umbrella, gass grill, beach towels and boogey boards! The neighborhood was nice with excellent neighbors! We would love to go stay again!

Amazing beach vacation!
The room was perfect for my husband, dog and myself. It was a beautiful space that actually looked like the photos. We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and the nearby food spots, plus having dinner on the back patio. We also appreciated the provided beach supplies, towels, and coffee. We had a minor issue the first day but the owners responded so quickly and with such kindness to get it resolved right away. I'd give them 10 stars if I could and could tell they truly care about their guests.

Great Location!
We booked a stay for our honeymoon it was very nice. We did have to go out and get some hand soap as we were unable to locate it. It is very close to the beach so we were able to go several times and walk to the boardwalk. The outside patio was nice and we were able to enjoy breakfast on the outdoor table, the couch furniture was a little dirty so we did not use that. The bed was also a little hard on my own and my husband’s back. There was a list of local places to go which was helpful and a mini fridge/microwave. Overall we had a pleasant experience!

Perfect Getaway Location
This was the perfect 2-day getaway location, close to beach, shopping & restaurants. The location was clean and had all the amenities including beach items to use. My only suggestion would be to ensure the back patio is cleaned for use, it would have been nice to sit outside ;)

A short getaway
The property is as described, a private entrance to a foyer which has a closet stocked with "beach stuff", the bedroom with a roomy closet with beach towels, plenty of indoor towels and linens then the bathroom. Lots of light through the window that overlooks the patio. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. It's very convenient and comfortable space.

So much better than a hotel
I'm so happy I found this guest suite! I travel with my two dogs and usually have to rent an entire house in order to get some outdoor space for the pups. This guest suite has the most perfect, fully fenced in patio. You can hear the ocean while sitting outside. My dogs loved watching squirrels run across the fence and up into the tree. Inside is clean, bright, and cozy. The bed and linens are very comfortable. The entryway is spacious and there is a large walk in closet. If you're traveling with dogs, there is enough room for a large dog bed on both sides of the human bed and if traveling with dog crates, there is enough space to set up a large dog crate in the entryway and another one in the walk in closet. There's plenty of furniture with drawers to stow items you don't want your dogs getting into. The property is just steps to a public beach access and conveniently located to all sorts of restaurants and shopping. This property is the perfect beach getaway and I would love to stay here again in the future.
