It was the perfect place for my family. Plenty of room to cook and eat as well as space to spread out and enjoy time alone or with the whole group. We loved being within walking distance of resturants, coffee shops, the boardwalk, and of course our private walkway to the beach.

This was a very nice way to spend our family Thanksgiving. The oceanfront access was great. We enjoyed our time here and it went by too fast. The house was comfortable and met our needs. Hoping to possibly re-visit. Thank you!

I would put this rental on the top 3 of my stays at Carolina Beach! The house has a good floor plan with lots of useable room for the 12 people it advertises being able to accommodate. The kitchen is big and well stocked, the sun room is a nice amenity for the cold/rainy days at the beach and it has a nice view of the beach. The house comes with a garage, but it will not house an SUV or truck- it will garage a smaller car such as a sedan without a roof rack. Thankfully, there are paid parking spots about 30 yards away and they are reasonably priced if you have oversized vehicles. I will be booking this unit next year, it is the full package!

Our priorities were met with this well-loved beach house: Private beach access - check! Enough bedrooms for our teenagers to have their own space - check! In close proximity to local Wilmington relatives (so we could invite them to the beach and a dinner or two) - check! Bonus features we very much enjoyed: a 6min walk on the beach from house to Boardwalk for eating, shopping, skimboard rental, arcade, live music, and Thursday fireworks; a billiard table in the basement/garage for some friendly competition; outside hose and area for rinsing off sand; and a quick drive to grocery, seafood market, and other stores. Some information that would have been helpful before our arrival/for planning purposes: the height of the garage door openings is 67" tall and the hard fin antennae of a smaller vehicle barely fit, as we had some trouble (measure the height of your vehicle ahead of time and letting air out of tires helps). Also, we ended up not needing the sleep sofa, but we did pull it out one night for consideration - and there are several springs broken at the foot that makes it slope downwards and the mattress is more like a thin pad than a mattress. Anyone planning to use this for their headcount may want to know its condition. The house is full of books and board games for lots of family fun. The updated kitchen (new to the listing we saw) was bright and clean and had lots of counter space and cabinets and a large supply of plates/utensils/bowls/platters/pots and pans - we were not in need of anything. The huge table (sat 10 people) was great for meals and games. We had a wonderful stay and appreciated the owners' responsiveness to any/all of our texts and questions throughout our stay.

Our kids and gr’kids had a great time here, right on the beach and so close to everything in Carolina Beach! Several times during the week, we mentioned how glad we were in a house all to ourselves and not one of the “cookie-cutter” condos around us. The house was a lot more personal and accommodating than any hotel room and we had plenty of space (both floors) inside and outside on the spacious deck. Even the bit of rain didn’t dampen our spirits as we enjoyed playing some of the games stacked up on the library bookshelves. We also had fun with the pool table downstairs. The kitchen had everything we needed and lots of room for several of us to be in there at the same time. We kept the sand outside by utilizing the shower head and hose before re-entering the house. That was greatly appreciated! The 4 bedrooms and bathrooms gave everyone their own private space as needed, and the sunroom and deck outside provided even more space to spread out. The owners were easy to contact and stayed in touch in case we had any issues (we didn’t). Overall, we would definitely book Miller’s Whimsy upon a return trip to Carolina Beach!
