Condo was dirty, smelled like grease. Everything you touched was dirty. Out dated. Furniture and pillows were stained. Toilet seats in both bathrooms were loose and fell off.

Wonderful, updated condo in a great location
Condo has thoughtful upgrades throughout and was very clean. The location is wonderful and allows you to easily access the boardwalk without being directly on top of it. Check-in/out process was incredibly smooth.

Disappointed by lack of basic cleanliness
Good location condo, unfortunately I am really disappointed with the cleanliness of the place, cobwebs on the fixtures, floors weren’t cleaned as well as appliances and the bathrooms seems like haven’t been cleaned in a very while, shower heads and toilet rims had mold and tubs seems likeweren’t clean at all.

Carolina Beach Trip August 2024
Our stay was very enjoyable! The condo was very clean and very well stocked with essential items with a very nice view. Very accessible to the boardwalk and other local amenities. The only negative thing about our stay was having only one elevator in the complex which was on the South end of the property, while we were located on the North end of the property.

Dirty, Dirty, Dirty!!
The cleaning service that you the property manager uses has to be a total scam!!! Had to go and buy shower cleaner to remove the black mold from the shower\tubes. The floor was so nasty I had to sweep/vacuum a huge pile of sand up as soon as we arrived.

This unit was so much as advertised and then some. Location was the best. Amenities were great. My contacts from iTrip, Madison, Alex, Jade and Elena were so professional and helpful. Will most likely book again for next year.

Nice Location
Stayed here with my husband and 6 year old. Location is very convenient/easy access to beach and boardwalk. Accommodations were as described. Easy check in and check out process. Only complaint that I communicated was that the shower heads should definitely be replaced. But other than that, it was as expected.
