8/10
We recently stayed at this home in Carroll, North Carolina, and overall, the property itself was great. Itâs a brand-new buildâvery clean, well-maintained, and located in a quiet, nicely kept community with access to a lovely pool.That said, if your primary goal is easy access to the beach, just know that this location isnât as close as it might appear. The walk to the beach is a bit of a trekâyouâll go through a wooded area, down a highway, onto Main Street, and then through several more intersections. It took us about 15 minutes on foot, and thatâs without lugging gear or kids in tow. If youâre carrying beach chairs, coolers, or anything more than a towel, youâll probably want to drive. There is public parking available near the beach, but itâs paid and can be a hassle depending on the time of day.For families with little ones or anyone who expects to go back and forth between the house and the beach, just be awareâitâs a production. This isnât one of those âstroll out your back door and hit the sandâ types of places.We also had a bit of a hiccup before check-in due to a transition between property managers. Just two days before arrival, I was told I might need to find another place to stay. After some back-and-forth, it was ultimately resolved, but it added unnecessary stress right before our trip. Hopefully this was a one-off situation tied to the change in management.In sum: a beautiful, comfortable home in a peaceful neighborhoodâjust be realistic about the beac
