Wonderful!!

We had an amazing vacation and truly enjoyed this condo. The location is perfect and the condo had everything that we needed. Highly recommend!

Response from Carolina Getaway

Absolutely great location …pool and access to beach certainly a 5 star+.

Really had a great time and property owner/manager (Liz) very responsive and timely. Only suggestions would be: (1) that rugs in living and dining areas are spotted and needs replaced w cleaner, newer inexpensive indoor/outdoor type rug. A consensus opinion from all visitors. (2) clean up and remove stuff under deck and on south side of house behind trash cans.

This property is definitely a 4 Star rental and w a few inexpensive improvements (rugs and cleaning up stuff under deck) would be a five star gem.

All in all … enjoyed this rental . Pool and beach access were great

Hi Lou! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Sea Monster is beautiful, and we certainly think it's a 5-star home! We are happy you enjoyed your stay and hope you come back to see us again soon! We have had all rugs carpet cleaned and purchased a large beach box to place all of the beach toys, gear, etc. in! We really appreciate all of your suggestions! Come back to see us again soon!

Beautiful View

Great condo right on the water. Steps to the beach. Perfect for two couples. Just enough room for the 4 of us.

Great Family Vacation

The house was everything we needed. Perfect location. Kids loved the pool and being right on the beach. Couldn't ask for better!
The only downfall was parking. If you have bigger vehicles there isn't much room for parking. Other than that, everything else was GREAT!!

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Nikki! Thank you so much for your review! We are so glad you and your family enjoyed Sea2Sky. We are sorry about the parking situation, but we are so glad you loved everything otherwise. We hope you come back to stay with us again another time!

Great Time in Carolina Beach!

We had an amazing time at Carolina Beach! The property was very clean, and the host really thought of everything. You are literally a short walk from the house to the beach! Liz is an amazing host, and was always responsive in our communications.

Response from Carolina Getaway

June 2022 stay

Property description should indicate that there are only two dedicated parking spaces. While the property is pet friendly, pets are not allowed on the beach. It would be helpful for the property description to provide local beach rules.
Kitchen is well equipped, however the ice maker and refrigerator door dispenser did not work correctly.
Nice access to the beach.
Upper deck is very nice.

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Michael! Thank you for your review. We have updated the listing to include the parking details and the pet policies for Carolina & Kure Beach. Dogs are allowed on the beach between October-March. We have fixed the ice maker in the refrigerator- we do apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. We hope you come to see us again!

Great Family Get away

Great home, loved the pool. Fully stocked kitchen. Pull out beds in the bedrooms not very comfortable to sleep on. Loved the porches and ocean view. Beach was not crowed. 8 minute walk to restaurants in town.

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Michael. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so glad you loved the home, pool, and how equipped the home is. We are sorry to hear that the pull-out couches were not very comfortable to sleep out- we will see if there is anything we can help with that. Glad you liked the distance and that the beach was not crowded. We are booking for next year and really hope you come back to stay with us again soon!

Great Beachfront Views!

Great beachfront home with wonderful views and easy access to the beach. Home is well maintained and is very clean. Thankfully we brought our small SUV as the garage seemed smaller. The garage opens up almost onto the road so not much of a driveway. Depending on time of year, parking on the street may requirement additional payment. The pool was nice to have although was a little on the green side with algae and seemed like it needed more chlorine. Rental company was very responsive and sent someone over to fix the issue. Overall, a great place to stay and can accommodate multiple guests comfortably. Wold definately go back.

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Rick! Thank you so much for your review. We are so glad to hear that you were happy with Sea2Sky. We are currently working on the parking situation to hopefully get some more options for our renters. We have our pool cleaned every Wednesday and Saturday but the with the ocean being so close, it can sometimes have an effect on the chemicals. We hope you choose to stay with us to enjoy Sea2Sky once again!

We had a great stay here. The accommodations were very clean and well kept and the location is perfect. The views from the balcony were the best part.

Great place!

Had a great week at Sea Monster. Perfect place to host family. Can not beat location with so much within walking distance. Would highly recommend and plan to return

Great and relaxing visit

We had a great and relaxing time at this beautiful on the beach home. Spent a lot of time in the pool and even found a few sharks teeth on the beach.

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Leah! Thank you for this 5-star review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Sea2Sky. I love that you were able to find shark teeth to take back with you! Come back and stay with us again!

Timothyvia Airbnb

One of the best locations on the island. Close to the pier and shark bar / palm room.

Beautiful home that has everything you look for in a property. It’s a 30 second walk to the beach access point. The home has a lot of the miscellaneous items that make it extremely convenient to have during the stay.

The ocean views from the top patio are great and extremely relaxing to look at. We come to Wrightsville beach often and will stay here on future trips.

Great place, it was so nice to be able to walk to the beach. Place was nice community was great

Stephenvia Airbnb

Liz's beach house was perfect for our weekend getaway! We loved the location (just feet away from beach access!) and the house was in good condition. The kitchen and living area are definitely highlights, and the outdoor shower is very convenient for cleaning sand off before heading inside.

Markvia Airbnb

The place was awesome. We all really enjoyed it. My only issue the fact they raised the price on me months after I booked it.

Guestvia Vrbo

My favorite house in Kure. Have stayed here many times.

Perfect place for my friends and family including our Doodle. Have stayed at Sea Monster many times but this is our first time since the updates and they were fabulous! 2nd bathroom downstairs and the separation of the front porch were huge improvements. Just a couple of minor issues- the main door into the upstairs was difficult to operate and the main bathroom door did not lock. Also the dining room chairs were flimsy and no hot pads in kitchen. Upon arrival we had issues with WiFi which I need as I work on vacation but Liz was very responsive and we were able to get it corrected. We always LOVE staying at the Sea Monster and will definitely return.

Response from Carolina Getaway

Hi Lisa! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at the Sea Monster. We hope you choose to come stay with us another time! We have already had our handyman fix the maintenance issues and added hot pads to the home. Thanks again Lisa!

Guestvia Vrbo

Great space for a group of friends enjoying the beach! We loved cooking in the big kitchen and enjoying family dinners at the dining room table. Missing that back porch already.
