Beach Bungalow in February
Perfect location to bring your dog and enjoy a pet friendly getaway in Carolina Beach. McKay gave us a recommendation for a great Irish Pub and Restaurant with a pet friendly patio and delicious food. The deck staircase leads to a fenced in backyard where our dog could romp and do his duty. Very comfy accommodations with a beach theme. Enjoyed our stay!

Not as it seems
The host communicated with us in a timely manner and answered our questions as needed. Though it felt like his responses lacked some transparency. Our gripe with the property was that it was not as pictured. Many additional items had been added to the place, which was a big deal for us since we had little children with us. Many of the additional items were hazards for our children. There were also distasteful photos on the wall that were not in the original photos. There were window ac units rather than central air - though we were told it worked, I can’t say we ever felt it. The last concern we had was with the cleanliness of the place. The air ducts were filthy and had a filter that looked like it had never been changed. The location of the place is great if you are wanting to walk to the boardwalk and the owner did work with us when we requested to end our stay early. We expected a very different stay, especially after seeing so many positive reviews prior to our stay.

This property is adorable, with the perfect vibe. There is a lot of room.I came with my husband. I would book again and bring my teens. I would avoid bringing small children. There are a lot of cute items that are breakable.

Cute & Convenient
Charming Beachy Bungalow in a great location close to beach, eateries and shops to get your new favorite beach attire. Place has a great outdoor deck to relax with a coffee in the morning and drinks at night! And we loved that it was pet friendly. Lots of interior seating options and sleeping spaces (however mattresses are on the firmer side).Tips for Others: A few dishwasher pods were provided, but make sure to bring your own laundry pods, any spices you may want for cooking, a good surface cleaners, ziplock, tinfoil, etc. The basics. There is oyster shuckers so don’t buy some. If you love seafood, Blackburn Brothers had freshly caught options and the people were amazing. Carolina Beach was an awesome place to visit! We will be coming back!

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!
