Family Thanksgiving Trip

Our family spent Thanksgiving at this lovely home. The location was perfect for fishing and walking on the beach! We really enjoyed the view of both the beach and sound from the porches.

Carpe Diem recommendation

Property was as advertised and the layout was perfect for our needs. Loved the parking arrangement. Beach access was easy. View of ocean wonderful from the shady, comfy top deck/porch. What a plus to have marsh views from the rear decks! Kitchen was well-equipped. May want to consider an upgrade for the coffee maker, though. The kitchen/dining area was perfect for us all to gather and enjoy being together to prepare meals. We loved the West Beach location! The beach has an easy slope, making it easy for the kids to enjoy the water and skim-boarding. Easy access to The Point. Outlets in the master bath and powder room did not work. The railing on the stars to top level is loose. One lamp in living room did not work. You may want to provide more instructions for tv operation. Other than these small quibbles,it was a great property.

Memorial Day

We had a very nice time at Carpe Diem except for the stairs. My husband broke his shoulder and had a hard time navigating the inside staircases. Railings were not available on both sides. The porches were great but the furniture was old. We did enjoy the outdoor dining set. The access to the beach was longer than we expected but the description of the property led us to believe it was right across from the beach.

My vacation

We had roaches. We had no TV for 48 hours, due to an issue that the owner had to straighten out. The air conditioner messed up and a window unit had to be brought out. The dishwasher was controlled by a switch that wasn’t labeled, so we had no idea until I called after hours maintenance. Still waiting to hear back from rental company if I will get any kind of refund. Hopefully these issues I experienced will help improve issues and problems for further guests!

Awesome house.....

My friends and I had a wonderful visit. The house was great and had a great view of the ocean. A short walk put us on the beach. Plenty of room to for all and a great gas range really made the kitchen over the top.

Fabulous Family Week at Carpe Diem

Wonderful family time at Oak Island, Carpe Diem! Beach and house was fabulous! Wonderful view of ocean AND marsh with inviting porches to enjoy both. Loved the fact that the beach was not crowded and very little traffic. My family and I would definitely stay here again!

Great location

We had a great week but I did have a few issues. The vacuum cleaner was the pits so there was sand on the floor constantly. The can opener did not work. The beds were not made and the comforters had not been washed.

The home is new and very nice. It's only a short walk to the ocean access.
