Holiday Get-Away
The stay at McKay's 3Beaches was very comfortable and so convenient to the local attractions. There were 3 of us but the cottage accommodated several more (it was a pleasure not to have to sleep in a bunk bed). All of the amenities were greatly appreciated and we would definitely consider staying again.

Birthday Getaway with Family
Wonderful place to stay if relaxing is on the agenda. We (three 50+ adults) greatly enjoyed the spacious front porch with doggie gate as we hung out with our rescue beagle reading and doing crossword puzzles. The kitchen is fully stocked and had so many extras! Host had lots of beach accessories that we used to enjoy two days at the beach. The house is quite large and there was plenty of room for the three of us. Definitely recommend this space!

Wonderful Getaway!
The cabin was wonderful. More than enough room for the five of us. We loved the covered front porch. It was perfect for relaxing and reading, or having a casual supper in the evening. Lots of room in the living room and dining room. The location was perfect, close to entertainment, restaurants, and the beach, but on a very quiet street. We will definitely be back.

All I can just say is WOW
if I could 10 stars I would. There is nothing not to love about this property. The moment you walk in you just feel like you’re on vacation and it’s absolutely beautiful with every single little thing you could possibly need. Having access to the beach so close and the board walk, McDonald’s and the convenience store only 3 minutes away was a fantastic thing. It has a great area in the back for your dog. Next time I’d love to have my dog with me. It has fun things like disc golf and things you would need for the beach, such as .When I go back to Carolina Beach this will be the only place that I stay i. It feels like being in my own home

Great Stay at the Beach!
This was a darling little beach cottage that had everything we needed for our stay! Very short walk to the beach just one block away. The host had great communication with us and there are many extra touches that make for a great stay such as beach chairs, shampoo and body wash, beach towels, air fryer, and many other added amenities. There were 8 of us staying and we had plenty of space for all of us. Would definitely return again soon!

Amazing spacious but cozy stay close to the beach
Our group had an amazing stay at this property during the last week of June. Our 3 families settled in nicely and had a wonderful stay. We loved being a short walk from the beach. The layout of the property was spacious while also being cozy for us to have a nice time together. The property owners were very communicative the entire trip and leading up to it. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great time at Carolina beach.

We had a wonderful time on our vacation! The house is great! It’s in a great location. The only thing that could make it better would be if it was ocean front, but for being off the ocean you couldn’t ask for more! I was so comfortable at the house that I didn’t want to go home! We had 4 adults 1 teen and 1 child and there was plenty of room! I would definitely recommend this house to anyone!

Lovely long weekend!
We really enjoyed our stay here. It’s a great setup for two families sharing the space. One family shared the front room (2 queens) and bathroom, then there’s a door and the second family shared the back two rooms (1 king in each) and bathroom. The host sent all the information we needed ahead of time and responded quickly to messages. The beach is 1.5 blocks away, an easy trek especially with a beach wagon. And the closest section of beach has a lifeguard. The house is also near the boardwalk and other great restaurants, plus the grocery store. Easy parking. Cute, fun decor. Big table and internet connected TVs. Nice fridge and water dispenser. Everything you’d want in a beach place.
