Great location great property great host!
Stayed with family (8 of us) comfortably for our daughter's graduation. Host was so kind and allowed us to drop our bags and get ready at location before her banquet. House was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of room for dinner and games. So close to beach and walk to boardwalk. Would stay again for sure!

Great house in excellent location
First off, the location was the best, 2 minute walk to the beach. Plenty of parking and a small yard for the dogs to go potty. The inside was spacious and offered 3 beds and two baths. Fans in every room was a plus. I would recommend for sure.

Great vacation/location
The property was just as listed. The bedrooms were spacious and beds were comfy. The location was very close and a short walk to the beach and boardwalk with shopping, an arcade, restaurants, and ice cream shops! The kitchen was fully equipped which made the stay even better. I highly recommend this home for you next stay at Carolina Beach.

Comfortable spot for our family
We stayed here for 3 nights during our spring break, which didn't coincide with NC's spring break schedule. We practically had the beach to ourselves! The house was perfect for our 2 adults, 2 teens, and 1 dog. The house had everything we needed for our stay--everyone was comfortable. The host was very responsive and clear with instructions. We would definitely stay here again.

Great House!
We stayed with our family which consisted of my husband and myself, and a 15, 13, 7, 2, and 1 yo, and our teenagers brought a couple of friends. There was ample room, the amenities were great and it was a 2 min walk from the beach access point. Also short walk to the boardwalk and all the local eateries. Great communication with the host. We have a great time. Recommend!

Beach Bungalow in February
Perfect location to bring your dog and enjoy a pet friendly getaway in Carolina Beach. McKay gave us a recommendation for a great Irish Pub and Restaurant with a pet friendly patio and delicious food. The deck staircase leads to a fenced in backyard where our dog could romp and do his duty. Very comfy accommodations with a beach theme. Enjoyed our stay!

Not as it seems
The host communicated with us in a timely manner and answered our questions as needed. Though it felt like his responses lacked some transparency. Our gripe with the property was that it was not as pictured. Many additional items had been added to the place, which was a big deal for us since we had little children with us. Many of the additional items were hazards for our children. There were also distasteful photos on the wall that were not in the original photos. There were window ac units rather than central air - though we were told it worked, I can’t say we ever felt it. The last concern we had was with the cleanliness of the place. The air ducts were filthy and had a filter that looked like it had never been changed. The location of the place is great if you are wanting to walk to the boardwalk and the owner did work with us when we requested to end our stay early. We expected a very different stay, especially after seeing so many positive reviews prior to our stay.

Cute & Convenient
Charming Beachy Bungalow in a great location close to beach, eateries and shops to get your new favorite beach attire. Place has a great outdoor deck to relax with a coffee in the morning and drinks at night! And we loved that it was pet friendly. Lots of interior seating options and sleeping spaces (however mattresses are on the firmer side).Tips for Others: A few dishwasher pods were provided, but make sure to bring your own laundry pods, any spices you may want for cooking, a good surface cleaners, ziplock, tinfoil, etc. The basics. There is oyster shuckers so don’t buy some. If you love seafood, Blackburn Brothers had freshly caught options and the people were amazing. Carolina Beach was an awesome place to visit! We will be coming back!

Holiday Get-Away
The stay at McKay's 3Beaches was very comfortable and so convenient to the local attractions. There were 3 of us but the cottage accommodated several more (it was a pleasure not to have to sleep in a bunk bed). All of the amenities were greatly appreciated and we would definitely consider staying again.

Birthday Getaway with Family
Wonderful place to stay if relaxing is on the agenda. We (three 50+ adults) greatly enjoyed the spacious front porch with doggie gate as we hung out with our rescue beagle reading and doing crossword puzzles. The kitchen is fully stocked and had so many extras! Host had lots of beach accessories that we used to enjoy two days at the beach. The house is quite large and there was plenty of room for the three of us. Definitely recommend this space!

Wonderful Getaway!
The cabin was wonderful. More than enough room for the five of us. We loved the covered front porch. It was perfect for relaxing and reading, or having a casual supper in the evening. Lots of room in the living room and dining room. The location was perfect, close to entertainment, restaurants, and the beach, but on a very quiet street. We will definitely be back.
