Great spot for all types of vacationers

Great convenient spot to the pier, aquarium, parks and even to get into Wilmington. They had something for all. Beautiful porch to see out on the shore. Nice private walkway to the beach. Loved this for an October vacation time due to changes in city parking. We had larger SUVs that couldn't fit into the garage but with a close parking lot and street parking all set. In prime beach season this maybe something you need to pay for. Only wish that the pool and hot tub were heated but the kiddos braved the cool water.

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Brittany! Thank you so much for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed staying at Sea2Sky. We understand parking a larger vehicle can be difficult- we have added the dimensions of the garage and provide a complimentary parking pass during the busy season. Unfortunately, we do not heat the pool but the hot tub is heated. We are booking for next year and hope to have you back another time!

Great property

We had an amazing time. Management was great in helping us with a late night issue. Would go back again.

Loved the Taylor House

We have stayed at many rentals in Wrightsville over the years and this was bye far the best house we have stayed at. Super clean , great location being able to walk to the beach with your own access and close to the Crystal Pier made it ideal. Will definitely be coming back to the Taylor House !

Response from Carolina Getaway

We are glad that you had a wonderful stay with us! Thanks Kevin!

Great location not so great parking

Great house and great location. Parking was less than desirable.

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Joseph. Glad you had a wonderful stay at Sea2Sky. The Town of Kure Beach and parking fees are disclosed in our listing and to all guests. It is $100 for the week or $20 a day. Hope to see you all stay with us again another time!

My Family and I loved the big house, great yard, and porch. The view of the ocean was amazing. The inside of the house was so nice and clean. Liz was very helpful and quick to respond to anything we needed. Great location close to things but not too close. Hope to be back.

Amazing beach house

My family and I loved staying at the Sea Monster beach house. The oceanfront views were breathtaking and the home is very spacious for a large family. We enjoyed being within walking distance to a few restaurants and the arcade and pier! The management was very efficient when we reached out to them! We loved it so much we booked an extra day . We would definitely book another vacation at the Sea Monster beach house!

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Vonda! We are so glad you loved the views from the home and how spacious it was. We are so glad our team provided you with efficient communication! We hope you book with us again soon!

A very pleasant stay

This property was very well appointed with an especially well equipped kitchen. My only suggestion for the kitchen would be to have some plastic/ acrylic wine glasses since there is a pool and glass is always a potential problem. It did not pose a problem for us however. Morgan was my contact person and she was terrific. She could not have been nicer or more responsive to any questions that I had. Our family had a very enjoyable experience.

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Ellen! Thank you so much for your review. The owner has added plastic wine glasses to the home from your suggestion! We are so glad Morgan was able to help you during your stay! We hope you all come back to see us again another time!

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed Serenity now and the access to the beach. We hope you come back to see us again another time!

Great ocean views. We spent a lot of time on the porch just watching the ocean. The pool was a huge plus; we enjoyed the warm pool and hot tub most afternoons. Kure Beach was sleepy, just what we were looking for. Tons of kitchen gadgets and serving ware. Beds were comfortable. We had a maintenance issue but Liz helped us rectify as quickly as possible. Thanks to Liz for her responsiveness.

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Jen. Thank you so much for your review and so glad you enjoyed your stay at Sea2Sky. The pool and hot tub are great amenities, so we are glad you loved them! We do apologize for the maintenance issue but glad we were able to get it handled. We hope you come back to see us again sometime soon!

Wonderful condo and great location

Our family loved staying at the condo. Only thing I would say is the ice dispenser doesn’t work and the Wi-Fi was awful and barely worked. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Katie. Thank you so much for your review. We have fixed the ice dispenser and had the WiFi checked as well. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you come back to stay with us again another time!

Great Location

Unit very clean with amazing view. Loved sitting out on the deck overlooking the water. Sunrise is amazing from the deck or beach. Beach is right there and make sure you rent the Umbrella and chairs for the week. The set up and take down daily is great! We used Tony Silvagni. Walking distance to the boardwalk, restaurants and shops. Had an amazing week!

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Kim! Thank you so much for your review and so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! We are now booking for 2024 and would love to have you stay with Carolina Getaway!

Sea Monster Did not Disappoint

Except for a few minor items that needed attention or were not working properly, the location and accommodations were great! The pool and accessibility to the beach were second to none. We definitely would rent this VRBO again as it was great for our entire family of 10 which included grandkids ages 4 through 9.

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Mitch! Thank you so much for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Sea Monster and the amenities that were at the home. We hope you and your family all come back to stay with us again soon!

Great family beach house.

This is a great family house. It is large, and the big porch makes it easy for outside gathering. The pool is a big plus, and if you have little non swimmers, it makes it less worrisome since the pool is not too deep. The walk to the beach is easy and the view from the house is beautiful.

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Carol! Thank you so much for your review! So glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at Sea2Sky. We are glad you and your family felt that the porch was spacious and that the pool was good for your little ones! We hope you and your family stay with us again another time!

A perfect home for a family celebration..

A lovely place for 4 generaltions. We loved the porches, the pool, and the beach. Great kitchen and dining room table. Quick response to the kitchen sinks problem and our need for extra linens, Maybe needs more reading lamps and a new mattress in the lower bedroom and some of the pullouts. Grill needs cleaning or something. A huge fire erupted when we tried to use it.

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Elizabeth! Thank you so much for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Sea2Sky. We apologize for the issues you were having with the kitchen sink but glad we were able to get it fixed. We have been speaking with the owner about replacing the lower mattress and have had the grill professionally cleaned. We hope you and your family come back to stay with us again soon!

Wonderful vacation home

The house was very convenient and wonderfully stocked. The few items that needed attention were dealt with within a few hours. We are coming back!

Family beach trip

Our 3 generation family of 9 had a great week at Sea Monster. We loved having separate space for the kids (9-15), the closeness of the beach, the deck overlooking the ocean, and the pool. There were a few cleanliness issues that are to be expected after a number of weeks of summer rentals but nothing that we couldn't handle.

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Nancy! Thank you so much for your review. We are glad your family of 9 enjoyed your vacation at Sea Monster. We are glad the teens enjoyed the lower level and that you all enjoyed the beach, location, and the pool. We do apologize for any cleanliness issues you came across and we are certain it won't happen again! We are booking for next year and really hope you and your family choose to book with us again!
