Welcome to "Good Times"! This oceanfront cottage is perfect for a family group of eight or less. "Good Times" is a four bedroom, two bath vintage fishermen’s cottage with modern updates in Kure Beach. If you are a fan of rustic, knotty-pine wood and one-floor living, you will love this house!

There is an enclosed outdoor hot/cold shower and private beach access. The four bedrooms are off of the hallway between the kitchen and into the living room.

Fisher Historic Museum, the Civil War battleground and the NC Aquarium. While in the area, be sure to check out the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, where you will find shops, restaurants and the summer activities such as fireworks, carnival rides and live music.

This is my second time staying at Good Times with Bryant Real Estate and it is always such a wonderful place to stay! Bryant has been great with communication and ensuring we have the best possible time, and the house was very clean and nice. We really love staying here and I would recommend Bryant to all my friends and family!

We were a bit disappointed that we couldn’t see the beach from any window in the house, but really enjoyed the rooftop deck, especially after we bought an umbrella.

Elizabeth, We are glad you enjoyed the rooftop deck during your stay! We hope you will visit again soon!

We had a wonderful time at this rental. The home was well appointed, clean and neat when we arrived. We really appreciated the keyless entry and loved the closeness of the beach with our own private boardwalk. The rooftop deck was outstanding!! I would rent this home again!

Manager's Response

Sylvia - Wonderful to hear you enjoyed Good Times! The private beach access and the rooftop deck make for a memorable family vacation! Did you enjoy the spacious living room? Plenty of room for the entire family to sit back, relax, and bond with one another. Good Times is the perfect beach home to spend quality time with those you love in paradise! Thank you for choosing Good Times for your family beach vacation! Looking forward to hosting the next one!

The house was perfect! We had six guests and everyone had somewhere to sleep. It was extremely clean and well-decorated and comfortable. Right on the beach, too - we kept the windows open so we could hear the ocean! The porch up top had a perfect view of the beach and we spent most of our time up there. Everyone loved this house and we would definitely rent it again! Bryant Real Estate was also easy to work with - they responded quickly to all questions, had an app that made everything simple (it had information about the keyless checkin, trash day, weather forecast, and even places to eat nearby), and were very polite. Thanks to the house owners and to Bryant Real Estate!

Manager's Response

Thanks, Hannah! We are happy everyone enjoyed! Visit again soon!

Our family typically stays in a busy condo in Garden City SC. We wanted to try something quiet when I was booking last December - something more family oriented. We could not have picked a better year to try quiet with COVID-19 included in our plans! The beach in front of the house was pretty much ours so there was no "Social distancing" concern. The house was just as we expected. We knew it was a smaller house and would be a little cramped but that is kind of what we wanted. We wanted to have a location where the only thing to do was to enjoy each others company, play board games, and sit on the beach. The location of the house is great - this area is kept up much better than Carolina Beach. We would come back again. That being said, the owner could address a few things. The master bedrooms was FREEZING. We ended up closing all our vents and had to keep our door open at night. I slept in sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt. If we changed the temperature in the house then everyone else was sweating all night. The master bathroom door lock was a little hard to unlock. The other bathroom door was repaired while on site because people kept getting locked in. The first two steps up going towards the beach were repaired some while I was onsite. One of the steps was slanting downwards which led to me falling twice. I am sure code does not require a handrail but it would be nice if one was installed. The step remained a little slanted probably because there was nothing to nail to - at least what we got our of the conversation the repairman was having with himself:) And one little thing, every paper plate we placed on the kitchen table had to be pealed back off. At first we thought it was because the food was hot but then it happened with cold food as well. Not sure what was causing it. After we had been in the house a few hours we noticed our grandson was finding things on the floor and putting them in his mouth. Upon closer look the rug was really dirty.

The rental experience with Bryant was great. Everything was very convenient and the house was clean ready to go. Good Times was a nice size for our family of four but I would not recommend it for a larger group. The location was amazing since it was a good distance from away from public beach access, condos, and hotels. It felt as if we had the beach to ourselves. The number one complaint we had was that the beds were very uncomfortable. So much so that we had to buy a mattress pad to get through the week and very really had a good nights rest. Secondly, since the house is not raised, there isn't a beach view unless you go up on the deck and since it isn't a covered porch, when it rains there is no view at all. And lastly, they need to upgrade the living room furniture. Unless you have small kids, the living is very small and the furniture is dated and uncomfortable.

Manager's Response

Hi Keri- Thank you for your feedback, we will pass along recommendations. Glad you enjoyed the location minus having that highrise beach view. Hope you'll visit us in Kure Beach again soon!

We enjoyed our stay at this ocean front property. Our family of 6 visited the beach over Memorial Day weekend. The house is much bigger that it appears from the street. The bedrooms were spacious and the bathrooms were clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our own meals during our stay. There is a rooftop deck with great views of the ocean. Not much privacy on the rooftop, close to neighbors.
Location was great, only a mile walk to the pier.
THe downside to the house is there are no ocean views from inside the house. And there were bugs. When we arrived there were several dead waterbugs on the floor. We continued to see live waterbugs throughout our stay, especially in the bedrooms.
Other than the bugs and the lack of view from the inside, the house was great.

Manager's Response

Hi Jennifer- Great to hear everyone enjoyed! Its definitely bigger than it appears from the street, deceiving. Please not we have Maintenance & Housekeeping available 7 days a week should anything arise during your visit, like those pesky waterbugs. Hope you'll visit with us in Kure Beach again soon!

This was a great small house among huge homes. The views were spectacular and the room sizes were just right for the 6 of us. The outdoor shower provided even more "bathroom" space for all of us. My only suggestion would be to put new flooring in the bedrooms and living room.

Thank you for your review, we will pass it along to the owner. Glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again in future.

It was great!! When we checked in it was clean. The house was perfect for you needs. The only downfall about our location was that the house next to us was under CONSTANT construction from 6am until near dark. The construction workers were obscenely loud at all times blaring music and shouting. This made it difficult to relax within the house or even use the rooftop deck until after dark.

Manager's Response

So glad you enjoyed your stay and the home but I do apologize the neighbors detracted from your enjoyment. 6 am is quite early and would be a violation of the town ordinance. Though we can not control or prevent any one from opting to work on their home, our towns have noise ordinances to control the impact on you. Had you given us a call, we could have let you know about the ordinance, and then a quick report to the authorities would have stopped the construction in off hours. Regardless - I am so glad you and your family still enjoyed the home and our services!

Overall our experience was great! Fantastic location and space, the roof top deck was a huge bonus for star gazing. The only downfall for us was lack of hot water and the walkway to the beach was a little loose. Other than that we would most definitely stay here again!

thank you Paul for your feedback, the walkover has been completely resurfaced and the water heater has been replaced. We hope you will come back and visit Good Times this September.

Arrived at the home as cleaning crew was finishing up. Everything was as described and the location was easy to find. Found a couple of issues on our first day but they were taken care of immediately after one phone call. Location and property were perfect for our group. Everything we needed was available.

Great location, nice home, painless check in/check out, booking, etc. Unfortunately we found upwards of 10 roaches during our stay (at least most were dead or dying). That basically ruined it for us.

Manager's Response

Hi Jonathan- thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear about the roaches! The good news is that they were dead or dying, which means that, in essence, the pest control was mostly effective. However, we can certainly understand why that would be a huge turn-off. No one enjoys bugs where they aren't supposed to be. This is a wonderful home, though, which does undergo routine pest control. Thanks again for your comments- we hope to see you back at the beach again soon!

Bare bones, BUT exactly what we were looking for. Has a cozy beach cottage feel to it.

Pros: keyless entry, so no wasting time with having to pick up a key from the rental office.

Cons: I would recommend is for the property to invest in a grill. There is not grill and the upper deck is a great spot hang a cookout on...within fire code of course. The 10am check out time is a bit chinsy, especially when the check in time is 3pm. Unless the property was trashed, it would take more than an hour to clean the property.

I would recommend this place and would stay again.

We had a relaxing stay at this wonderful beach house. From first opening the door to closing the door to leave we had no worries. Home Spotless and everything in working order both heating and air performed perfect. Stove and washer and dryer worked great. Bathroom sinks and baths perfect. Plenty of Lighting. Television and tables in living room great. Great big table in dining room with wonderful Mural. Enjoyed reading the picture log book of this house. Loved our stay and hope to return. Great location.
Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Very nice house and perfect for our needs, 6 adults and one 3 yr. old child. Our only concern was the condition of the mattresses on the beds. They seemed worn down and buckled in center. Other than that, house was perfect!

Great beach access.
Everything as promised and well equipped kitchen.
Only drawback was no covered out door area -- our family really loves to sit on a porch and look at the ocean if we cannot be in it....morning noon and night

Past reviewer stated one of the mattresses too soft. This crew, 6 adults, slept in comfort. We all slept like a log. Issue with ants first day after a storm. Quick action when we called, exterminator sprayed under sink and no more ants rest of stay. We had a restful beautiful week!

The home was very clean with the exception of a lot of dead ants on the kitchen floor and in the cabinets. We also experienced some cockroaches but being located by the ocean we understand the nature of the visitors. We are returning for a July visit and hope we won't experience problems with the central a/c as we noticed previous rental comments pertaining to the system freezing up if air is set at 73 or below. Overall, this property was very pleasant to stay in and I would recommend to a friend.

This place is a value. Location is good. Not a fancy place, but if you are vacationing for the beach, you won't be inside much anyway. The rooftop at night is perfect.

My husband grew up coming to his grandparents beach house at Carolina Beach. This was our first vacation as a family here, and his opportunity to share his childhood experiences with us after 30 years. It has changed a lot, but still feels like home to him. This is a great vacation home that is much larger than what he grew up coming to, but it was a great place to start new traditions. It was clean, great location, kitchen well supplied, BEAUTIFUL view from the deck, quiet beach, great view of the Thurs night fireworks from the beach walkway, nice sized living room for 8 people to relax and enjoy family time, family enjoyed visiting Fort Fisher, the Aquarium, The Boardwalk, Bowman's Seafood (Don't miss this great restaurant for a traditional type seafood experience - we like hushpuppies and fried fish, don't waste your time or money at Michaels), Britt's Donuts, etc... at Carolina Beach... However, there are a few upgrades that would make a HUGE improvement: NEW MATTRESSES (at least 10 years overdue!), window treatments in the bedrooms (blinds were very thin), new light fixtures and/or better lighting in the bedrooms (had to replace bulbs and remove the fixtures in the dark bedrooms to be able to see). Overall this is a wonderful vacation home. With the few mentioned improvements, it would be AWESOME!!! With new mattresses we will book again!

Manager's Response

What a wonderful experience to come back after 30 years to see all the changes, but still feel so familiar. We appreciate your feedback and the choice of that property since it has such a interesting story also. The owner is planning on upgrading the master bedroom mattress and we will share your review with them. We look forward to seeing you next year.

House has lots of character and liked the one level feel. The amenities were just slightly lacking compared to other house that we have stayed in the area for the last 6 years, this includes inside and outside amenities. We purchased and left about 6 beach chairs for the next people that stay. The location was great as it was in the middle between Kure Beach and CB, also the beach was not super crowded for being closer to the high rises. I do have to say though that the mattresses were all pretty much uncomfortable as we had people in all the beds. If the mattresss were updated that we would stay again next year. Let me know if you update them.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your review. We shared your suggestions with the owner and they plan on assessing the beds this fall and are definitely replacing the bed in the master bedroom. They also stated that they appreciate the beach chairs, they use to leave them for the guest but the would go missing or rust out so fast that guest were complaining about the condition of them so they decided to let the guest bring their own. We are always glad to get your feedback and look forward to seeing you next year.

We really enjoyed our week at Good Times. We share the rental house with another family and it was perfect for 8 people. The house was rustic which seemed somewhat outdated, but after reading about the history of the house, it made it extra special. The house has all your basics kitchenware and fully furnished. It doesn't have any thing else besides salt and black pepper though.
This was our first time renting a house so we're didn't realize we would need everything including trash bags and dish soap.

The mattress could use an update. It wasn't anything special and I think probably at least 10 years old. Maybe next time we go back the owners will update the mattresses. If they're going to get new mattresses, I recommend a little better qualit such as a thicker mattress or pillow top.

Manager's Response

Vaughn- Great to hear your time spent at the beach was enjoyable! Thank you for the feedback as we will follow up with the property owner regarding your recommendations. Hope you'll visit again soon!

We really liked this house. It was very spacious and the kitchen was just big enough to cook all of our meals and to store all of our essential food items. We were VERY IMPRESSED that it came with a good blender!

The bedrooms were great and had plenty of storage. The living room was nice and bright, with lots of space. We liked the outdoor shower and porch, as this helped us hose down all of the sand and the kids before entering the house.

The view from the top deck was great and we were able to see the Carolina Beach fireworks from our little boardwalk. Being on the beach was wonderful, especially with three young kids and lots of gear.

The neighborhood was quiet and clean. The one service call I did make got addressed immediately and I was very happy with the service.

The only suggestion would be to replace the mattress in the master bedroom with a harder one. We woke up with sore backs and after two days we switched the mattress in the master bedroom with the one in the adjoining bedroom and what a difference! No more sore backs and a great night's sleep!

We would definitely recommend this to people with young kids and look forward to visiting again in the future.
