This property was great. The rental owner was really responsive when I had pre visit questions, and sent clear check in and check out directions as well as checking in to make sure my stay was going smoothly. The house is in a great location, right across the street from beach access. Plus it was nice to be able to sit on the front porch and hear the ocean. My family did not use the golf cart, but it was convenient to have access if we had wanted to. It was my first visit to Carolina Beach and I truly enjoyed it. I feel the rental was part of the charm. I would definitely recommend and go back next time.
