Our whole family enjoyed our week at this beach-side house very much. It was clean and beautifully decorated. The pool and easy access to the beach were wonderful. Beach umbrellas and other equipment were provided. One thing that some might need to know is that most of the beds are very soft. Some in our party liked it, some didn't really notice, but for a few of us the very soft beds did not work well.

Upon arrival all trash cans were full and at the street for two days. Dishwasher was full, oven mitts were dirty in the drawer. The ice machine in refrigerator didn’t work because message on refrigerator read 99 days overdue. AC return filter was in desperate need of replacement. Messaged property manager to get everything taken care of. Finally someone came at 9:10pm to take care of these issues. This house is in need of repairs, stains on rugs, cracked tile, holes on walls, scuff marks throughout the house on walls. If others would have left honest reviews we would not have selected this house. We have rented plenty of VRBO’s in the past and never had issues like this.

Great spot! Will be returning next year.
Great location! Fantastic resources for entire, large group. We intend to book again for next year. I’m sure the home sees a lot of guests and traffic. As a result, could use some TLC (maybe some paint updates in areas, alignment/inventory of remotes to TVs, blender tops to blenders). Overall, very happy and satisfied with our stay.

Family Trip Review
The exterior (deck, pool, hot tub, deck to the beach) are exactly what you want in a beach house. Beautiful & easy access to the beach! The house itself had a nice layout with tons of rooms & bathrooms for everyone to have their own space. We enjoyed family dinners at the large table too! The host was exceptional at quickly responding to questions. Feedback for improvement: the bed mattresses were really soft, everyone mentioned it at some point during the week. The furniture could use some upgrades, but that didn’t negatively impact our stay.

The location was amazing. The house was beautiful! Loved having our own private pool and hot tub and also a private entrance to the beach with 3 showers outside for sand. The bedrooms were spacious and the open floor plan of the kitchen, dining room , and living room were perfect for our family. Had a great time with the paddle board set as well and the games in the dining room! Would definitely stay there again. Worth every penny! Host was very gracious and checkin was super easy. Highly recommend for everything you need for R&R.

Delightful Getaway
This beach house was perfect for our group of 6 adults and an 18 month old. What we liked most was the easy and private beach access and closeness to everything we wanted to do. The house was roomy enough for all of us and comfortable.

Perfect location and amenities
My family meets in Myrtle Beach every year in September, usually in the Cherry Grove area. This year we decided to book somewhere directly on the beach with a heated pool and were in North Myrtle, which we really enjoyed the location. The properly did not disappoint. We survived hurricane Helene at the house and fortunately did not lose power. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and dishes, amenities were in working order and if we had questions, owner was extremely attentive. We had nieces and nephews drive in for a few days, but my husband and I, our daughter and husband, his 3 sisters and their grown children and husbands had a fab time. Games, family time, cooking together, bingo on FaceTime with grandma in Wisconsin, just couldn’t be beat. We will be booking for next year.

A Disappointment
We stayed here 11 years ago. The house is neglected. Found a filthy dishwasher which I cleaned. Only 2 dish towels; bought more. Inferior pans & cooking utensils, dull knives. Outdoor showers w/standing water don't drain. Wet spot on upstairs bedroom carpet. Dirty furniture & rugs. Broken drawers in dresser, kitchen cabinets & balcony need fresh coat of paint. Contacted mgmt who fixed 2 toilets, kitchen faucet & microwave so it's in better shape now. Closets are messy, one has a mattress making it unusable. Bring own sheets, extra bath towels, place mats. Positives: good water pressure in master shower, pool, beach toys, chairs, rafts, beach towels, the view, lighting, spaciousness, games in cabinets (had to clean one which was left in a mess), beach access, hose on beach walkway, dishes & glassware.

Great location, awesome amenities, could use some upgrades
The location, private dock to the beach, pool and hot tub were all amazing. The view from inside the house is also incredible.
The kitchen is pretty outdated and the living room furniture is pretty old.
My biggest complaint is the sheets on the bed were just awful. The cheapest sheets you can buy on Amazon would be 10 times more comfortable than the sheets on the bed. Could use some extra blankets in the house as well.

Bachelor Party
The house was awesome. We had a blast and the owners were super easy to work with. We were planning to golf ahead of 5pm check in; however, our round was cancelled due to rain and the owners helped us out by allowing us an early check in. Great pool area and located right on the beach. Would definitely book this property again.

Loved staying here
Location was perfect. Pool was amazing. Beach was beautiful. House was comfortable. There were plenty of beach chairs but the lightweight ones were dirty/moldy probably from being put away wet and sandy so I would recommend bringing your own beach chairs or just using a beach towel. The umbrellas were in good condition as was everything else. The place had everything we needed. We had a wonderful stay and definitely recommend this place. We plan to come back next year.

MANY THINGS WRONG
We were enjoying our stay until the AC went out on Monday evening. The host sent the maintenance man the next morning but he knew little about AC. The AC tech didn't show up until Thursday. In the mean time we had upstairs temps of 81 degrees and downstairs temps of 77 degrees. We had a few roaches and many ants. The ice maker makes very little ice. Sofa and love seat were very uncomfortable. One of the beds sagged badly. The pull out sofa was not usable. The jets in the hot tub had very low volume.

Great North Myrtle Beach House
Great spot on the beach. The house is spacious yet cozy. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glassware, mugs and cooking and serving items, etc. The pool and jacuzzi were clean and inviting. Lots of beach chairs, umbrellas and toys. If we had a problem, it was addressed right away. We had 10 adults and 4 children, ages 7 weeks, 6 months, two and six. There was plenty of room for all of us.

Beautiful Beach House with Private Pool and Hot Tub
When we arrived at the beautiful, spacious Carothers Castle, we were enthralled by the views of the ocean from the deck and the changing rainbow-colored lights in the private pool and hot tub. The house was well-designed and modern, perfect for lounging and gathering. Members of our party had room to spread out in the many rooms, with adjoining bathrooms. We loved swimming in the well-maintained salt-chlorine pool and soaking in the hot tub which had a waterfall edge. The kids in our party had fun playing with the pool toys, such as the floating corn hole. We also enjoyed going to the beach every day, where we swam and surfed in the ocean and the kids played in the white sand. Carothers Castle was the perfect vacation home for our North Myrtle Beach family vacation. It was a five-star vacation. Thank you for hosting us.

Clean Beautiful House In A Great Location
This oceanfront house is beautiful, clean and in a great location in North Myrtle Beach. Our group of family and friends totaled 12 adults, and all 12 were very impressed with this rental property. This house is large, but the air conditioning kept both the first floor and second floor frosty cool. This house includes a very large living area, large stocked kitchen, large dining area, heated swimming pool, hot tub, beach chairs/umbrellas, beach towels, beach toys, and parking for many vehicles. None of us had a single complaint. I have only one recommendation. Instead of just an email address, I recommend the owner or property manager provide their renters a contact phone number. Overall, this is an outstanding oceanfront rental house! We rate it a 5 out of 5 stars!
