CB22A #1 Mack-A Coastal Escape

The house was beautiful and exactly as pictured! The location was very safe, quiet, only 4 blocks from the beach, with space enough for parking 3 SUVs.A couple of notes for the owner: the slats in the outside shower are the same width and distance apart as the slats of the fence - any neighbor can look through the fence and get peeks of whoever is in the shower from all directions.It would be nice to have a table or seating in the backyard, along with a grill.If you're not going to have dressers for clothing in the bedrooms, add some cubbies or more hangers or shelves to the closets of the 2nd & 3rd bedrooms. It was inconvenient to have to keep my full bag on the floor when I only had about a foot and a half of space on each side of the bed to walk around the downstairs bedroom. The dogs loved it and my apologies for the mountain of dog hair they left! If there was a broom & dust pan for guest use, I would have swept! The main living space was really comfortable between the kitchen, dining area, living area and deck, really nice flow and tons of seating - all in all, I would stay here again with a couple of little tweaks! Great house for a great price :)

Overall was a fine rental. Location is great, unit was overall quiet and there were other renters in the adjacent unit. Decent walk to the beach, which is important as town of CB absolutely gouges for parking.Would be nice if kitchen had "normal" dishware and pretty sure the dishwasher is not doing it's job. Not sure why the AC was on a schedule for 67 degrees and checkout instructions said to set to 73? I thought I had deleted the schedule each day, only for it to be freezing inside the next morning. I realize the previous renter might have set it, but why didn't my "fee" cover someone checking the AC settings? While I would not call the unit dirty, a bunch of little things added up to our not being happy. I wouldn't usually have called for small issues, but drains not draining was not right. To their credit, the drains were resolved the next day and we were told we would get half our cleaning fee back for all the cleaning issues. Problem then was getting Vacasa to actually do that. They finally did over a week later after I said I would just dispute with the credit card. As mentioned, dishwasher does not appear to be working, we had to hand wash grit off every dish/glass we used. Funny thing is looking back at other reviews, all these things were mentioned, but have to wonder if those renters never told anyone, or home owners don't care about the complaints in review. Overall, place was decent an location was awesome. Just be prepared for having to do your own cleaning.

We look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful getaway in the future.

The only thing that was noticeable that the drains drain too slow

Loved the location! It was less than a 10 minute walk to the beach, and in a nice residential area. The unit has everything you need to feel like you're at home. I had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

Property was clean and very nice. Dishwasher didn’t work as well as it should, the fridge gave us problems being cold enough at first (our ice cream nearly melted being in the freezer), & had to keep readjusting the thermostats. Overall it is a nice place & is very clean. I would definitely stay here again!

The house was very nice HOWEVER the sofa was AWFUL. It was so dirty it literally smelled. Fortunately our son lived in Carolina Beach so he could go home and get blankets and Frabreeze to cover it so we could use it. The TV remotes were not working properly at all. One guest could turn off their TV and another rooms TV would automatically go on. Minor as it may seem, the kitchen silverware was not good. We loved the neighborhood and the condo was sufficiently supplied. happened time and time again

The house was very nice, well supplied and centrally located. There was a problem with the condition of the couch and we brought this to the attention of it the appropriate people. I’m sure it will be addressed.

Loved how close it was to the Greenway, tons of people out walking dogs which was great since we brought ours. Plenty of room, updated kitchen and baths. Overall would go back again for sure

Great neighborhood with nearby trails, easy walk to beach.

The home was surprisingly spacious and welcoming. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The house is situated in a beautiful neighborhood, and the beach is about a 5-10 minute walk. Close to some really delicious local favorites too (Butts and Such, Uncle Vinny’s, and the Peach Cobbler Factory). The fact that it is a pet friendly property is a plus, so the entire family can enjoy a vacation! 🐾

We loved the house and the location. It was our first time to Carolina Beach and we have plans of returning. The place was very spacious and the beds were comfortable. I couldn’t give it 5 stars because the ice maker didn’t work (apparently had been broken but no one said anything about it). The dishwasher was broken as well. Maintenance came out to look at the dishwasher but couldn’t really do anything about it. We use plastic and paperware most of the time anyways. Make sure to bring your own pots and pans because there isn’t to much to choose from. The silverware, if you choose to use it, is very odd shaped!! The floors were not very clean when we arrived and there was still wet laundry in the dryer that had never been turned on!! Vacasa was quick to respond and offered to come back out and do the floors but we had already moved our stuff in. Overall a very nice place just some issues that we had never had to deal with before when renting!

We stayed at the Mack #2 to be close to a wedding venue and also the beach! It was the perfect location to both. I can’t say enough nice things about the house. Everything was clean and ready to go upon our arrival. The outdoor shower was perfect to rinse off after the beach. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and both balconies. We had to reach out to VACASA a couple of times and each time they were quick to respond and very helpful each time! We hope to come stay again in the future to make more memories !

Very walkable to the beach, a few restaurants and ice cream. It was great to bring our dog along and loved the layout of the home.

My husband went on this vacation with our little dog. We had invited our children and grandchildren but they couldn’t make it, so it was just the 2 of us with so much room. It was a wonderful trip. The home is beautiful and had a very clean smell to it when we arrived. Loved the back yard for my girl to be let outside without her leash. We could not have ask for a better experience. Thank you Vacasa and thank your cleaning staff.

Pro’s: Newer property, very clean, nice furniture. Golf cart was a really great amenity and also the outdoor shower. Con’s: Many stairs that are fairly steep. Also, it would have been nice if some standard items like dishwasher detergent, trash bags, laundry detergent would have been provided. Also, there is not a grill available. Only reason I deducted a star. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend.

This home is very spacious and well maintained. It’s within very close proximity to the beach (you can hear the waves from the home) and also close to many local eateries. This home is definitely dog friendly, we enjoyed having the private fenced in backyard for our pup. The internet was super fast and the owner had several steaming services available for viewing. Overall, this is a great property, would certainly rent again!

Our stay here was great! The condo was very clean and neat and had plenty of room. The neighborhood was very quiet and we were able to relax. I would definitely stay there again.

Had an amazing time at Carolina Beach. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends & family. A+ experience

Owen D. -

We were somewhat skeptical of this property due to the limited number of reviews but we had an amazing stay! The property was pristine and had more than enough space to accommodate everyone in our party of 9 (4 adults, 5 kiddos) and the location was close to everything we needed. To top things off, there is even a golf cart provided which seats 6; we were able to get to the beach, restaurants, and boardwalk in a flash.

Michael P. -

Home was very pretty and clean. Close proximity to the beach and having access to the golf cart was a big plus!! The beds weren’t very comfortable and the water pressure left something to be desired but we made due. All in all it was a fun place to get away for a few days.

We really enjoyed our stay at the #1 Mack! Everything seemed brand new. It was super clean and comfortable. Fully stocked with everything you need for a week. I loved the huge tv in the living room for watching movies at night. The golf cart made it so easy to get everything to the beach that the distance didn’t even matter. We took to the golf cart to the beach, shops, restaurants, aquarium, really everywhere. Great private fenced in back yard for the family and pups to play. I will be booking again for sure!

Really enjoyed the golf cart, so I didn’t have to walk or load up the car for rides to the beach and around town. All amenities were excellent! TV’s, WiFi and electronics were super. 100% will stay there again. Great central location.
