Close to the beach and attractions! Perfect for families or traveling nurses!, hotel in Carolina Beach

Close to the beach and attractions! Perfect for families or traveling nurses!

I love the house and the location. It was very clean, and the host was kind and helpful. The game room was a nice addition. My son and I enjoyed playing mini pool. The backyard was surprisingly huge and fenced in, so I trusted my son to play back there. It's pet friendly as long as you pay a cleaning fee for the animal hair, but at Wrightsville Beach, we saw a sign saying no dogs allowed on the beach. Just keep that in mind. We had a great time there, and I would definitely book it again.

House of Kaktos located in Central Wilmington. Sleeps 8, hotel in Carolina Beach

House of Kaktos located in Central Wilmington. Sleeps 8 offers accommodations in Wilmington, 6.1 miles from Bellamy Mansion Museum of History and Design Arts and 6.4 miles from Thalian Hall.

Convenient location if you are going to UNCW. The house looked good at first glance until 5 mins later that we start seeing cockroaches everywhere. The place is infested. DISGUSTING!

    I absolutely loved this cottage. We had more than enough room. We had exactly what we needed. We were a short walk to the beach. My favorite part was the Veggie wagon which we visited everyday! The price was perfect. Everything was great.

    Great property and location! Was in walking distance of Carolina Beach and had a great underground pool nearby and hot tub. Was very clean! The host was very friendly and responsive! It was nice to use the codes for the condo door and the gate that allowed access to the beach! Was nice there was a lot of beach accessories towels and toys provided in the closet. The parking was right in front of the condo. Had a great stay!;)

    The CB Surf cottage location was great for our group. Nice, quiet neighborhood and easy 10-15 minute walk to the beach and restaurants. The Palm Realty office staff was helpful with key pick up and drop off. The quality customer service is much appreciated! Great vacation spot!

    Great communication and clear instructions were mucho appreciated. The cabin was spacious enough for everyone. The decor soooo reminds me of the 1958 home I grew up in. Staying here was, well, easy. Surrounding folks were friendly.

    Beautiful little cottage not far from the beach. Cozy place to hang out after a long day playing in the sand. Water was hot on demand even after 5 people showered. Walk to the beach was fine if you don't mind stretching your legs. Very thoughtful owner keeps basics stocked (paper towels, toilet paper, soap). Owner responded quickly and was very friendly.
