The property was just as pictured, walking in through the garage are wonderful items to look at for purchase! Every room was decorated so well! I believe the favorite decor was the red octopus in second room! The keurig never worked for us, however we failed to let the host know, the bed also did not raise and lower, so we just stacked an extra pillow. The only other issue was the carpet in the living/family room should be replaced it’s seen better days. However, this is a magical place with a great location! We didn’t bother reporting anything because we were too busy having a great time!

The rental was nice being only a couple blocks from the beach and boardwalk. We appreciated the host leaving a binder with ideas and places to go that were handicap accessible.

Great location close to beach and boardwalk area, extremely comfortable and whimsically decorated. Our family member who uses a wheelchair was able to access everything comfortably. Hope to return!

When this says accessible...it means wheelchair accessible. The shower, the hoyer lift, the elevator, the beach chair, the wide doors. It was perfect for my 21 year old daughter in a wheelchair. My 17 year old daughter also loved that she got her own bunk beds and how close it was to the ocean and the lake. I was able to keep up on our laundry so that i wasn't overwhelmed and the Hang Ten Grill that was within walking distance made take out super easy. I would definately return!

The house was perfect in every way for my father who is confined to his wheelchair. We were able as a family to enjoy our stay here with no worries what so ever.

This house was amazing for my mother who is on a walker 10% or in a wheelchair 90% of the time. This home was accommodating and warm. She was inspired to try to move around more and this house made that possible for her. When we make a return trip, we will be renting this home again.

The house is very pretty, decorated nicely and is roomy! loved the tilework in both bathrooms. Mrs Lorraine has the sweetest neighbors. Very close proximity to dining and beachcombing, close to the boardwalk, nice park that is visible from balcomy.

This adorable rental is eclectic yet elegant. Owner Lorraine, a peach, has created the ideal space for travelers in wheelchairs - an elevator, enormous tool-in shower with shower chair, a hospital bed & lift, wide hardwood floors, and more. Located on a beautiful street only 3 blocks from the beach & across the street from a lake it is in an ideal setting. Many activities and good restaurants nearby. We have never experienced better accommodation & accessibility in all of our travels. Cannot recommend this listing more highly.

This is the third year we've come to Lorraine's Hakuna Matata, and every year has been a wonderful experience. We have a special needs adult son who is confined to his wheelchair and hospital bed, and Lorraine makes it possible for families like mine to be able to relax and enjoy our time together. We have use of the adjustable hospital bed, the European style wet room, the elevator and a beach wheelchair. The accomodations are always clean, and Lorraine is available to help with inquiries and needs that may come up.

Condo is as described. Completely wheelchair accessible., which is very hard to find! The location is wonderful, across the street from ocean & a little park with a pond with a paved walking path. Walking distance to restaurants & shops. Completely enjoyed our stay. Would recommend. Thank you

Lovely home with interesting accommodating owner/neighbor.
Warm, welcome, colorful setting, properly accommodating for accessible usage as I require those features. Neighborhood was rather populous for my personal taste however my son and his girlfriend enjoyed the easy walking to food… I admit to being an old farm girl used to many acres of land around me. I am aware that is not an option on the coast! We are still here due to a transport issue. Lorraine was very gracious about that also! Heartily recommend this property!

The 2nd level is well set up for accessibility needs. There is a dedicated shower room - roll-in, no ledge/curb. An elevator is available to travel from ground level to the 2nd level. The owner is in a chair herself & lives on the 3rd level. She is most friendly, helpful, and gracious! Will return with no hesitancy.

This location was perfect. We were able to access the beach, visit the farmers market and go to the boardwalk. All in walking distance. Mrs. Lorraine was so accommodating and had the cutest decorations! Thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

Carolina Beach - Lorraine's Hakuna Matata
This is the second time we've stayed at Lorraine's Hakuna Matata, and we were again very happy with our stay. We have two special need adult children, one with multiple handicaps (including physical). It is such a blessing to have a place that already provides a hospital bed, Hoyer lift, roll in shower (actually a European wet room), and elevator. The accommodations are always clean and the decor is fun. Lorraine is such a sweetheart, and helpful with local information. We're looking forward to our next visit.

My family and I had a great time staying at Lorraine’s Hakuna Matata house. We truly appreciated the accessibility features for my mom who has trouble walking. The house was cheerfully decorated and the space was perfect for relaxing together. Our favorite feature was the balcony where we could enjoy the ocean breeze, see the lake, and hear live music from the restaurant next door. One small issue was that the elevator would not work when we checked in and we weren’t able to get in touch with Lorraine for an hour or so, which meant my mother had to wait in the garage to get in the house. One other qualm was that the listing mentioned a king-sized bed, but the house featured only two full/queen beds and two twin beds in relatively small rooms with not a lot of storage space. This was a challenge for our family. Despite these issues, we had a wonderful time and would definitely rent this house again.

We rented Lorraine’s property for my brother who is wheelchair dependent and visually impaired. Let me tell you, we searched the world over trying to find some place for my brother to vacation, so we were thrilled to find this property just 2.5 hrs from Durham. The house was very clean and the shower room is zero threshold and so roomy and nice! The home is on the second level with elevator access, and Lorraine is upstairs in a separate private residence should you need anything. She is a lovely person and was so nice to chat with. While you’re there, rent a beach wheelchair through the Carolina Beach Rec center (beach access with ramp is a very short walk) and reserve a boat with Carolina Beach Pontoon Rentals! Their boats can be rolled onto from the dock. So fun!
