    We really enjoyed our stay. The bedrooms are spread out enough to where everyone has their own space and privacy. The living/kitchen area was comfortable for everyone to hang out... We did have an issue with not knowing how to access the garage when we first got there. But they were very responsive in getting back to us. (There is a key inside the home that opens the side of the garage and then you have to push the wall opener to open and close inside of the garage and then lock the door behind you) - a little inconvenient - but manageable :) I would recommend this place.

    This property is all about location!!! We never moved our cars. Beautiful views ocean/sunsets. We were a party of 9 including 2 babies. Only neg is that the air conditioning does not work downstairs. All the bedrooms are down there except one. Upstairs works perfect. There are fans that made it doable. The light is out in the fridge. Would stay again.

    Overall, Big Blue was pretty nice. The porch facing the ocean is the smallest porch on the house, though, which we thought was odd. You can't fit more than 3 chairs on it. No TV in the master suite, which isn't a deal breaker, but the WiFi didn't work in the master suite, either. It seemed adequate in the rest of the house. Direct access to the garage from the house would've been nice.

    This was my first trip to Carolina Beach and I had no idea what different areas were like. This was a delightful home with ocean views and right at the beach access. Everything we needed was within walking or a 5 minute drive. Our plans were to travel to different places nearby to explore (the ferry, fort fisher, hiking trails, …..) however the home and the beach were so great we never made the excursions.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect location - close to the boardwalk, steps to the beach, and easy to get in/out. Space was just what we needed for our family. The master shower and downstairs bath shower did not seem very clean - master shower had significant mold. AC unit gave us fits halfway through the week, but the property managers were very responsive and got it back to normal working within 24hrs.
