Avis Carolina Beach Cottage Paws Welcome/No Mask Mandates!

We had a wonderful time walking everywhere. We thought the house worked fine for us it was small but we had plenty of room. Very happy the house had three bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked. Unfortunately for me, the grandmother, I had to go to the hospital & ended up having emergency abdominal surgery that same day . Another good thing to know is that the closest hospital to the house is wonderful.

Everything was in walking distance. We stayed the week of 4th of July. There was lots of people and excitement. My family had a great time.

The location of this property was wonderful. We walked almost everywhere. The beach, Britts Doughnuts,the book store. The Celtic Creamery was amazing and less than 5 min walk. We really enjoyed our stay. Corey was great about communicating. Thank you Corey!!

Had a wonderful vacation. Wish the decks were clean and the back yard was clean. Fence was broken but rain had been terrible…probably had some effect on stability. Wonderful owner!

Enjoyed our stay

Great location. Within walking distance to many restaurants, the beach and attractions. Loved being able to take my fur babies and the fenced in backyard was wonderful.

Property was a short walk (a couple blocks) from boardwalk, downtown, and beach. Room enough for our family of six and dog.

Had a wonderful week, house is within walking distance to beach, boardwalk and restaurants. Pet friendly, fenced in backyard for the pup. Very cute house, owner was great, very responsive, easy check in/check out. Highly recommend staying here. We will be back!

I was going to be kind in my review but now that the host is trying to get us to pay for a cleaning that this house hasn't seen in years, I'll just be truthful. (Word of advice to the host: most people would be more than happy to pay a cleaning fee than be expected to clean a house top to bottom at the end of a vacation. And if you actually expect people to clean your "private residence", you might want to say that instead of writing snide comments on a piece of paper and hope they understand what is implied. We just thought you were being cranky.) The house sits directly next to an abandoned boarded up house and across the street from low-income, shabby apartments, making it less than ideal for small children to be outside unaccompanied, especially after dark (like during the week of July 4th). The house is in poor condition. From basic fixes (shower and closet doors off-track) to needing more extensive repairs (water damage throughout the house, sliding back door that doesn't seal or lock, shower fixtures in poor working order). The beds are old and uncomfortable. The house is full of cobwebs and pet hair and the carpets are stained (air fresheners don't cover up stink). We had to roll up the rug in the kitchen because whatever was in it was triggering allergies. We tried to wash the "clean" bed sheets that were full of pet hair but then discovered the washer didn't work consistently, so got one load to actually wash, rinse, and drain and gave up on trying to wash anything else. We knew the washer worked at some point because of the load that was left to dry stuck to the sides of the washer. Of course that went right along with the dried coffee grounds left in the coffee maker. We were going to try to vacuum but the duct tape on the canister did not suggest we would have any better luck than with the washer, so we left it alone. The front and back porch were not inviting, with furniture full of dead bug's, cobwebs and just dirty. The back yard, being a pet friendly place, is not someplace you can let the kids run around in - we were greeted with evidence of the previous pets' as we were doing our first walkthrough. The grill is about rusted out, so use with caution. Overall, it was a roof over our heads when it was raining and walking distance to the beach.

This cottage has a great location to beach and board walk. The cottage could have been a little cleaner, furniture and beds updated, less decorative pillows and clutter.
