Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and well-stocked, and the host was very responsive with every question I had. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, and having quality linens provided was great (along with some TP and paper towels to get us started). Carolina Beach is a little busier than other beaches we've visited (this was our first trip there), and you do need a parking pass to park anywhere near the beach or boardwalk. The included golf cart DOES have a parking sticker, so that was helpful, but it only seats 4 adults, so keep that in mind. The separate bedroom was a little tricky for us because our daughter slept there and the power went out in the middle of our first night (there is a warning posted about this possibility, but it happened twice before we realized it was more of a certainty and likewise adjusted when we had the golf cart plugged in). She was especially panicked because I had locked the house out of habit and she couldn't get in. Because there is only one house key, I didn't feel comfortable leaving it with her, so instead we left the house unlocked at night in case she needed us. Perhaps the hosts might consider a keypad lock or an extra house key since this is a known issue with the power. The provided kayaks were great (we didn't have a chance to use the paddle boards). There was no beach umbrella and the only chairs were camp chairs, so you need to bring your own if you want those. Lots of toys and boogie boards, though!
