Ocean view deck, steps from the beach, 2 king beds, easily accommodates four

If you can summon the power to explore beyond the property - take a short walk to the great selection of shops and restaurants, including Pleasure Island’s Tiki Bar at the Ocean Grill!

Great location
Loved this place! It was roomy, neat and clean, the decor was tastefully simple, the furniture was comfortable. The beds are a bit on the firm side but surprisingly comfortable. Plenty of starter supplies provided and checkout was quick and easy. We did have an issue with getting in using our code and I contacted the host and he responded immediately with a phone call and had us in within minutes! Great communication! The location is perfect with a beautiful view of the ocean. Just a short walk to the beach. We would definetly rent this home again.

Unfair charge
Charged for stains that were there on sheets when we checked in. Totally unfair to pay for someone else’s makeup and stains. We don’t even have makeup and no one create stains on one set of sheets.

Great in so many ways!
Spotlessly clean and spacious, perfectly located. We loved this rental for so many reasons. The bedrooms are large, linens and beds excellent. 2 separate porches with great views, and a secluded fenced back yard provides excellent outdoor space. Half block walk to the beach access is perfect! We would recommend Rich's house to anyone without hesitation.

Weekend get away.
We arrived on Friday night to find the lights on for us and the house cozy, clean, and comfortable. It was a very short walk to the beach where it was not crowded and peaceful. I enjoyed sitting on the swing looking at the ocean and people walking by. It was so relaxing.

Beautiful home with everything you need!
My fiancé and family had the pleasure of staying on this property and enjoyed the two min walk to prime beach sand every day! We rented bikes down the road for exploring downtown, but LOVED being within walking distance to great food, drinks and entertainment. The home itself was gorgeous, with everything you need for your beach stay. Gorgeous front porch views and a super personable host who was helpful and responsive when we had questions. Would absolutely book this again next year!

Lovely Place and Location
Place is welcoming with some lovely features (bright lights, hot shower, beach towels, faucet outside, fenced in yard, visitor-controlled temperature control, etc) and walking to the beach took not even 60 seconds. The place is walkable, with a mile walk getting you to the boardwalk. There was even an event on the way we got to see. Overall, highly recommend!

Wonderful stay at the beach
We had a great stay with our two young children. The unit was well stocked with amenities and the location is just steps to a pristine public beach. The owners were very friendly and communicative. We would definitely return. The only unexpected issue we ran in to is the fact that this is a split level unit and not the entire house. We didn’t see that called out in the description when we booked.

Surf's Up Stay
Wonderful location. Nice house. Our toddler loves the swing. All the essentials ready for use in the house was very helpful. The only downside for us was not realizing it was a split house and someone was staying below. Main reason it was a downside was due to having a toddler who can be noisy and loud. We didn't want to disturb others which is the main reason we wanted a house. Otherwise, a wonderful stay!

Great beach rental
This beach rental is truly only a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. Very nicely decorated with quality furniture; the beds (mattresses) were the best of any rental I've ever had. This unit is 2nd floor which is nice as the rental has a wonderful covered porch which overlooks the ocean (at an angle). There are several beach-style restaurants nearby, as well as the Carolina Beach boardwalk/entertainment area is within walking distance (25-30 minutes).
