    “Carolina Dreaming” was once again the perfect place for our family beach vacation. Ruth and Debi make check in/out simple. The kitchen provides everything to make sandwiches, meals, or snacks. Just like home! The location is the best of a quiet neighborhood and access to the beach, restaurants, shops, boardwalk, etc. Each year we rent a golf cart to make it a snap accessing the beach, BRiTT’S DONUTS, or whatever!! The abundant space/bedrooms/bathrooms and cable tv assured the comfort and convenience for each family member. Many thanks to Ruth and Debi for making our Carolina dreams come true!!

    Fantastic house with great location. We enjoyed our stay with plenty of room and a well stocked kitchen. Easy walking access to local fare and immediate drive access in either direction. The owner was very easy to communicate with throughout. Would absolutely stay here again.

    This is the best house so far we have stayed in in Carolina Beach. It is very pretty, was exceedingly clean and has lots of space. It is only a few minute-walk to the Boardwalk but the street is still quiet. We rented bikes and my children could get anywhere with bikes easily. There are lots of bike trails in Carolina Beach. There is also a small grocery store only 5 minutes away walking. You can walk down to the usual Thursday fireworks or just watch it from the house. Ruth and Debi were great! They are very nice and very responsive. Debi found my daughter’s engagement ring in the house and let us know right away. We really appreciate such great and conscientious hosts. Hope to come back next year!

    This was our second stay at this property. I returned because of the quiet neighborhood, size of the house, parking, check-in process and proximity to everything we wanted. I was provided a number to call in case I needed something.

    The property was in excellent condition and accommodated all 14 of us easily. Close enough to the boardwalk and beach, yet far enough away to enjoy quiet time. The Thursday night fireworks were very enjoyable. Also found nany neat shops.
