1/5 Terrible

Helicopter Owners and Lack of Living Supplies
The property itself is in good shape with fair location relative to the beach. We came with a group of guys to visit a family of a close friend who passed away days earlier. We did not act with excess to normal activity of a group. We had a few temporary guests, to include the family of the friend who had passed away just days earlier, who brought a small, hypoallergenic dog for the few hours they were there. The AC was said by the owner to be overheating although they are running a beach house which in its nature is in hot weather for most of its rental use. We had a couple extra guests join the visit to the family of our friend the day before the trip and they slept on an air mattress that we brought. In no way was the furniture or space misused to accommodate the extra two people we brought. The biggest red flag you should be aware of is the fact that they have multiple cameras around the property and the owners have no problem inconveniencing their guests at any point with things they have seen on the camera they think are not exactly within their expectations no matter the severity of such things like having an extra couple people sleep on an air mattress in the living room, having a few people stop by for a visit with their 5-lb hypoallergenic dog, leaving the beach at the drop of a hat to accommodate a request which is not placing their property in imminent danger, and their AC overheating when its placed at a temperature not far from the external temperature of the house. The frequency of their calls and texts suggest they spent their entire weekend watching video footage stressing about their property, when in actuality, their property was left in a similar state to which it was used aside from normal use. Let it be known, in addition to the strangeness of not having linens for the beds in a house that is listed to sleep 8, there are practically no other supplies you would find helpful to have when renting the house for the weekend such as wash soaps, proper cookware, cleaning supplies, and other various things you might want in a kitchen or bathroom of a place you rent. Not to mention, the lack of linens give reason to believe they likely never wash the comforters or decorative pillowcases they do provide. If you want to have a worry free stay and enjoy your vacation at Carolina Beach, I would suggest not staying with these renters.
