The location was great and owner was responsive but the house needs a lot of work. The upstairs toilet broke while we were there. The floorboards in the bathroom sag so much it feels like you could fall through the floor. Many of the kitchen items were rusty.

The view from the master bedroom is amazing. The house is older, but it is maintained very well. The communication was great. We look forward to returning soon!

The house was comfortable. It was as described. It did have about 15 steps to get into it but that was shown on the picture so it was not a surprise. The furniture was older but okay. The linens are professionally done and packaged nicely. We has plenty of them also. The beds were comfortable. The owner was available at all times. He is very pleasant. This is a duplex but we had family on both sides . The best thing was the walkway to the ocean. At the end of it was a covered gazebo and we could sit for hours without getting direct sun. The family enjoyed it. Stores were close by. We were very happy there. . Yes we would rent it again .

We enjoyed staying here very much. The property was clean and had everything we needed. The bedrooms were spacious as well as the living area. The kitchen was a perfect size for making meals and the dining room table accommodated 8 adults. The location is beautiful. Our beach was semi private so we never had to fight a crowd. There was so much to do within walking distance or a short drive. I would highly recommend staying here and will be renting this house in the future.

What a great time we had at Bobâs place! It has everything needed for cooking, food storage, dish washer and beds and linens and towels. Location close to grocery stores and restaurants. The hot tub was so appreciated after playing in the cold sea water! Wood floors made clean up easy! I brought my 2 under 10 year old sons and had no concerns about them around the house. Showers worked great, and the view of the master was a dream to wake up to. Definitely would stay here again and it is on my list as pet friendly places. Easy access to the beach and great deck with hose for getting cleaned up from the sand. Really loved my stay!

Amazing. I would for sure, hands down, recommend this property to anyone looking for a family friendly, beach front getaway. It's close enough to stores but yet the beach is not over populated.

I loved our stay at Carolina Dream. It was the perfect location for me. Close enough to grocery stores for stocking up on bottled water and necessities (paper products, dishwasher tabs, etc) but far enough from the touristy areas/traffic. In a 45 min dog walk on the adjacent street, I'd see fewer than 10 cars drive by. Save for the neighbors this week having a friend with a Harley, I couldn't hear any traffic noise, or anything besides the ocean. The hot tub was a nice addition that I hadn't even noticed in the listing but was enjoyed by all. And of course, the reason for me after the past 1+ year of pandemic stress: the ocean. It's a beautiful view even from the main level deck, but a short walk out to the beach or when viewed from the master suite balcony, and the stress melts away.
My only criticisms are more personal preferences: the lack of screens on windows and doors, and the mattresses.
Since several of the days were low to mid 70s, I'd much rather turn off the HVAC units and open the slider or windows, but they didn't have screens to keep flies out.
The mattresses are probably only an issue for those with bad backs; or who are used to foam or sleep # mattresses with uniform support. Innerspring mattresses users probably won't notice. All 3 adults had trouble with the innerspring mattresses. I didn't mention it to Robert as it's probably our own peculiarities. I'd recommend switching to foam mattresses when they're due for replacement, as it's usually easier to adjust to foam that has uniform support than it is back to an innerspring's pressure points.
For real issues, please call Robert. I got the sense he preferred calls vs texts, as he would respond right away to a call. We had some trouble with the slider leaving a gap and Robert was very quick to respond despite being in the middle of a wedding. He had people look at it the next morning.
Overall, you really can't beat the combination of value and location, and the flexibility to bring dogs. I searched SE coast for beachfront properties from NC to FL, and there weren't many at all that allowed >1 dog, and those that did were either 2-3x more or not nearly as nice or had poor ratings. Thanks to Robert for allowing us to bring all our family (including the 4 legged members) and not charging exorbitant fees like some others. I definitely want to return ASAP, but looks like it will be next year based on demand.

Great beachfront home to spend a week or so. It's older, and in need of a little TLC, but was perfect for our family. The owner/manager was very communicative and we had no issues while we were there. Thanks Robert!

I absolutely loved the beach views from the house and the ease of accessibility to the beach. My mom is handicap and usually cannot go over beach dunes to get to the beach. We were all able to enjoy the beach together. Home owner was quick to respond to my questions. He was very kind and a pleasure to work with. I look forward to renting from him again.

The beach house is in need of some repairs and one of the twin beds needs to be replaced. Internet speed was really slow making it difficult for my husband to work. But the location is awesome! The beach was quiet and clean and the neighborhood very family friendly and safe. We appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella! Overall, we had a great time! View from master bedroom is beautiful!

The location really doesnât get any better- right on the beach and a quick drive from groceries and parks. Kitchen is fully stocked. Views from the master bedroom are awesome (we watched dolphins while laying in bed). There were little maintenance issues here and there, in addition to some water damage. However, I really think the price made up for this in addition to the ability to bring our dogs. Also, Robert was very communicative and I feel that if I had called and said we needed something fixed he wouldâve made sure it was done right away. We would definitely stay again!

Location and View is perfect. Dog friendly!!!
We rented the east side and upon arrival someone else was on our side. Owner was contacted and said we could stay on the West side. Property manager was there cleaning the hot tub and said cleaning crew had just left but we did find sunflower seeds on stairs. Also found popcorn under couch and in couch. A little oversight but not too big of a deal. House was comfortable and suited to our needs. Decor is very beachy and homey. There was a leak in the master bathroom causing us not to be able to use that to prevent further damage. Property manager was contacted and he had a quick response time. Owner was friendly and we would choose to book with him again! We enjoyed our stay! The location of being right on the beach and having our dogs with us was unbeatable! He was one of the few to let us bring all 3 dogs and being able to have them on the beach with us made our trip so enjoyable!

Great location
I think it was a great deal. The house has some updates but I think the owner is still working on a few. The house has a great view and is a great location. The house is a duplex so you could hear the neighbors at times but I am sure they heard us more than we did them The owner was nice and reached out to us prior to the trip

Lovely location
The location was just perfect, right on the beach. We cooked several meals and the kitchen amenities were good. The house itself is a bit tired and could use a little extra love these days.

Great beach house for family and friends!
Great location! Stroll out the walkway from the living room and toes are in the sand.
Owner and cleaning service were very accommodating. We were able to check in 2 hours early and also able to check out a little late.
Very "beachy" feel to decor which is exactly what we hoped for. Clean and comfortable with all the necessary amenities. Beds are very comfortable and the view from the master bedroom is unbeatable! Lots of extra bed and bath linens.
Kitchen well stocked with everything we needed.
3 bathrooms a real plus.
Would highly recommend for families or groups of friends. We had a great stay and will be at the top of our list for our next trip.

Carolina Dream
The house is in dire need of repair. We lost air conditioning for four days. Had an ongoing problem with ants and there was uneven flooring in the living room. The hot tub was in the basement. The barbecue was also in the basement and was disgusting. The owner reimbursed us 10% for our inconvenience but I would not rent from him again.

Emerald Isle Summer of 2019
photos made the property appear larger than it really is. the door and patio door were unlocked when we arrived- note also, the patio door does not lock but a dowel rod is used to keep it shut. The main entry is awkward due to the counter placement and location of the stairs to the bedrooms, making it difficult to get in with luggage and/or groceries. The master bathroom sink/vanity need to be replaced as the paint is chipped and the cupboards don't close. Also the shower caulk should be re-done and splash guards placed at the corners- the living room ceiling was wet when we arrived, likely from a shower leak in the master bathroom. Our correspondence with the rental company was very timely and pleasant, as was my discussion with the maintenance man regarding the wet ceiling. The location is convenient as is the fact that it is pet friendly. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, pots and pans and cooking utensils although an additional cutting board or two would be nice. The main floor bedroom should have a new bed as the current one is not comfortable and squeaks a lot when moving.

East side
We loved renting Carolina Dream, East. There was a slight mixup on which side we were staying in, but Owner answered his phone right away when we called and promptly cleared it up! The house was nice, access to the beach was great and we loved sitting out on the deck closest to the beach.
