This property was wonderful to stay at. Jason was very communicative and the house had everything you need. Including a golf cart. We stayed for Thanksgiving week with our 2 Adult kids and their significant others and didn’t feel on top of each other due to the size of the house. Would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay. Great place with plenty of common space to hang out together with our adult kids, but being across 3 levels (plus rooftop deck) and having bedroom/bathroom parity meant we all had our privacy as well. Great location. The little fenced in area was great for the pups first thing in the morning. Loved all the outdoor space with 3 different patios. And the golf cart was a really nice touch. Would definitely stay again.

Clean, Nice fun place with easy beach access and enjoyable balconies. Due to multiple scheduling conflicts (within the family) we could only visit for 4 days but look forward to coming back for longer stay in the future.

Property well taken care of. Great location and just a minute or less walk to a beach access. Providing a golf cart put it over the top for sure. Host was fabulous and it’s very obvious that great consideration goes in to making your stay great! Would definitely book this location again.

Well furnished with beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and a wagon, and golf cart was great. Being able to have our fur babies was a huge plus for us! Loved this location and house.

Bringing in the new year

The location of this house is great! One block from the beach. Really nice outside space and rooftop area. When a few issues did arise, the property manager was very responsive and easy to work with our schedule. The golf cart was the cherry on top. We enjoyed our visit and was a great way to bring in the new year.

Bowfin 2

Our extended family chose Bowfin 2 for our first vacation together since 1992. We had a great time and the home was beautiful. We woke up to ants in the kitchen one morning, a problem the whole area has, but the property manager Jason had someone out right away and everything was great the rest of the week!

Wonderful house!!!

I have rented a lot of vacation homes over the years and this was, without a doubt, one of the very best! We came as a family, visiting family in the area. There was lots of room for everyone and this has got to be the best stocked house I have ever seen. Everything we needed was there down to spices, pots and pans, games, it was wonderful. It rained the first day, but because of all the wonderful porches, we were able to still be outside. We will definitely rent this house again and I would recommend it to everyone!

Perfect Carolina Beach getaway!

Our families were very pleased with this property. The house was clean and well-equipped with everything we needed -- plenty of linens, kitchen tools, pantry staples, beach chairs and toys, games, bikes, and more! We loved the location being just across from the beach and easy walking / biking / golf carting distance to town, restaurants, and the Boardwalk. The breezes and views on the rooftop deck were amazing-- pictures just can't do it justice! The beds were comfy and our kids loved having the downstairs level to themselves. The owner was friendly and responded quickly to our questions. Overall this was one of our favorite beach trips!!!

2 Thumbs Up

Even with all the positive reviews, this house still exceeded our expectations. First off, our host Jason, could not have been more accommodating. He was very helpful and extended us every courtesy. The house itself was fantastic. It was very clean had every amenity you would need for a few days at the beach, including chairs, towels, sun shade, cooler, wagon. It's in a great location with beach access right across the road. The rooftop bar area was a family favorite and the golf cart was icing on the cake for getting around to all the local establishments. All in all, it was a great experience.

Nice place - needed some repairs

The property was nice and in a good location. The A/C upstairs didn’t cool enough. The washing machine knob was broken so we couldn’t do laundry correctly, and two of the bedroom doors wouldn't lock. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. I did make management aware of the issues so the next people would t have the same problem.

One block from the beach!

Jason was a great host - extremely responsive both pre-trip and while onsite. The fire alarm batteries started chirping, and he was there very quickly to fix it. The house is lovely. Be prepared for lots of stairs! The common spaces - including the patio and the rooftop deck - worked well for our group of 10 ladies. The house is only one block from the beach. While it's great to have the golf cart available, we just walked the 3 minutes to the beach. Note that there is parking for only 3 cars available at the house; there is NO street parking, so if you have a large group, you'll need to make other arrangements for parking. Thanks for the stay!
