We were delighted to find the rental in great condition, the pictures look great online, but in actuality the property is even nicer. Plenty of dishes, utensils, and cookware. I did not see much in the way of bakeware so if you’re planning on bringing a box of brownies, bring an aluminum pan. We’ve stayed on CB a number of times over the year and really appreciated this location more than those we’ve stayed that are further down past the hotels. The beach is less crowded, plenty of space for everyone. The boardwalk area is about a 15 minute walk which is pleasant along the beach with the breeze. Parking costs $5 an hour or $20 a day at the public lots and spaces available near restaurants and other activities.

We had no problems with WIFI, appliances, etc. great water pressure in showers. The balcony is worth the price alone.

Manager's Response

Sarah, We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your time at the beach and at this property! We hope you will visit again soon!

Carolina beach was a beautiful beach however the overcrowding of houses and condos made for a claustrophobic feel. Also parking in the town area was $5 an hour so going to restuarants and the amusement area was an added expense not expected expense. While the description of our rental indicated everything was close, they were a mile away so walking was not optimal. Beach access was wonderful and ocean views spectacular. Condo could use some updates especially in living room furniture which was very uncomfortable.

Manager's Response

Geraldine, Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed the ocean views during your stay and will pass along your suggestions for updating the living room furniture to the owner. The location tab on our website is a great tool to view the property from an aerial view to see how close it is in relation to local stores, restaurants, and the boardwalk.

This is a nice condo on the 2nd floor, which offers great views of the beach and ocean. It is extremely spacious with 2 large bedrooms, 2 full baths and 2 decks/balconies. The deck is fantastic and offers some privacy. The kitchen and baths could use some updating, but are fully functional and included everything we could need. Great location too for beach walks and not too far to walk to town.

Manager's Response

Great to hear you enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday at Janssen, Cheryl! Thank you for the feedback concerning the kitchen and bathroom, we have taken note and will discuss possible options with the owners. Thanks again for allowing Janessen to host your family holiday getaway! We're looking forward to your next trip to paradise soon!

Condo was nice, great location, the number of beds was a plus but... the bunk needs some kind of box spring or wood plank or something to quiet the squeaking. It was so obnoxious, it kept everyone in that room awake as any little movement made for very loud noises.

Manager's Response

Lisa - Great to hear you enjoyed your vacation at Janssen! Thank you for your feedback concerning the bunk bed box spring. We have taken note and will investigate and come up with a solution. Thank you so much for allowing us to be apart of your beach retreat! We're looking forward to your next trip to paradise!

Though a mini weekend trip only, it surpassed others we have taken for a week with pools & elevators. I was surprised that this condo was so roomy. The peace we shared made the lack of a pool & elevator not even important. We loved it so much that we want to come back again to this same condo in a month.. Hope we are able to. Thank you to Bryant for a truly marvelous exxperience.

Manager's Response

Alyne - We are so happy to hear you were able to find your peace and relaxation at Janssen! The spacious floor plan and the ocean front deck give everyone in the family the ability to spread out while still being apart of the group. Thank you for allowing Janssen to host your beach vacation! We're looking forward to your return to paradise soon!

The open kitchen/ dining/ and living, allow families to gather together and bond while not feeling like your on top of one another.

We really enjoyed our stay at Janssen. The location was perfect, close to restaurants and the boardwalk without being in the busier sections of the beach. The views from the deck were wonderful and we spent most of our time out there when we weren’t on the beach. The unit was clean and everyone we talked with at Bryant were kind and helpful.
A few things to note:
The door sticks and makes it hard to turn the bolt when you are putting in the code.
The shower in the hall bathroom is tiny! Obviously not much they can do about this but just something to know if you will have adults also using this shower.
The master bedroom gets really warm from the afternoon sun. We kept the vertical blinds closed the whole time but it was easily always 5-10 degrees warmer in there. I would suggest they add some black out curtains to that room to help cut down the heat. Also when the air does turn on it moves the vertical blinds making them click. This was mostly a problem at night as I am a light sleeper and it would wake me up.
The chairs on the deck are not very comfortable. Especially if you use them as much as we did. We spent a few hours every night out there and most mornings having breakfast.

Manager's Response

Thank you for the feedback, Brendan! We have made note and will discuss these items with the owner. Wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Janssen! The ocean front deck make for a wonderful, relaxing vacation! Thank you for visiting Carolina/ Kure Beach! Come back soon!

Location & place itself is great, overall interactions w Bryant Real Estate were disastrous. Intracoastal Realty has properties in the same building if you're in love w the location, but don't want to chance having the type of interaction I did w Bryant Real Estate.
Out of numerous times I spoke w someone from Bryant Real Estate there were only 2 conversations that left me feeling as though they actually cared about my experience w their co (sorry you're grouped in this review to the gentleman that came to check if we had power & the woman I spoke w over the phone on 9/2/19)
When you book & pay for your vacation via Vrbo you won't be privy to the specifics & contract pertaining to your stay
1.) The less than $100 we saved by not booking at the nearby Hampton Inn would've been worth it for the bath mats, towels, garbage bags, bedding, etc. they charge for you to rent from them
2.) The associate I spoke with, Steven, stated I couldn't speak w anyone else there, he wouldn't answer some questions, didn't know the answer to others, & flat out asked if I ever stopped talking
3.) The contract you are emailed to sign AFTER you've booked & paid for your rental states "Please note: Travel Insurance must be purchased by your scheduled final rental payment." which A.) would've been good to know prior when I paid for the rental in full & B.) isn't true as I spoke w CSA (the insurance provider) who stated you're able to purchase rental insurance thru them up until 24 hrs before your check in day/time
4.) I travel frequently & I've never encountered a co that didn't seem concerned in the slightest about ensuring their guests had a pleasant stay
5.) In case it could help anyone that books during a time of inclement weather: In 2018 a woman was unable to stay in a rental she paid for on Vrbo w SeaShore Realty in Topsail Beach.

Condo had a great view and perfect access to the beach. Kitchen cabinets were not clean. Couches and floor were sandy upon arrival. There was room to sleep 7 people and there were only 5 pillows. 2 of the pillows were so dirty that I wouldn’t allow my children to use them. We contacted Bryant after the first sleepless night and they quickly brought over 5 brand new pillows.

Manager's Response

H i Chris, I do want to apologize that you did not find the unit clean upon arrival with sand on the floor and couches. Our staff does strive to keep a high standard of cleaning, but it sounds as we fell short this time. Our inspectors should have caught this issue with the pillows but I am glad we were able to get those to you as soon as you let us know. After a rocky start I hope that you and your family had a wonderful vacation and will come back to see us again next year.

This condo is perfectly situated on Carolina Beach, just a short walk from the boardwalk. It is on the second floor above the carport, and overlooks the beach. Perfect for a family who doesn’t enjoy spending the entire day in the sand. It feels like you are sitting right on the beach, but with the comforts of shade and a close restroom. The only issue we had was that the Wi-Fi didn’t work. However, when I called the rental office to let them know, they sent someone out within an hour to check it. He confirmed that it looked like the Wi-Fi address and code had been changed and the rental office was not notified. It didn’t appear that the owners were even notified, as the address and password they posted on the refrigerator were also invalid. The guy who was sent out to fix it said he would come back the next day, but we never heard from him again. We were there for three days. This was a minor inconvenience and overall we had a great experience at this condo.

We had a great experience in “Janssen” at Carolina Beach! The condo was exceptionally clean. I loved the layout. It was perfect for our family of four- and if we had an extra child it would have been fine too. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the dolphins swim by and being so close to the water. The appliances looked like new. I loved the coded entry so we didn’t have to fumble with keys. The parking wasn’t ideal, but that’s really my only complaint. I’d rent here again!

stay was most enjoyable, weather was mostly good,
unit and area was quiet, unit furnished nicely,
everything worked. one thing, the lowest stairs
down from A21 could use better lighting at night.

It is always pleasant dealing with Bryant R.E. The units we have rented are clean. The locations are PERFECT for us(a family of 4) which are right on the beach. We have rented through Bryant R.E for several years now. Mary is awesome:)

The rental unit was well equipped, very clean, and has modern furnishings. While it is not a new they did a great job with paint and decor. There was a slight smell of smoke. The view is beautiful. It is beach front and just a 60 second walk down to the ocean cannot be beat!

Very nice location, beds were not very comfortable, twin bunk beds not easily accessible for bigger kids. Very nice view, vertical blind kept falling down every time sliding door was opened in living room. Finally we just left it down until we departed. Upon leaving, we hung it upside down so that it would stay up.

Nice beach not the best rental

We really liked that this condo had its own private beach, but it was a bit stressful trying to make sure we left everything clean and in perfect order since the realty company was so strict and explicit in the contract. It’s marketed as a family friendly rental but in reality I Was super stressed that my kids would scratch or break or color on something and we would be charged a crazy fee for it. We also had to bring all of our own sheets and pillowcases and bath towels. This was an extra stress and we did not feel like it was fair to charge us to rent these items.

Manager's Response

Hi Matthew! Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear you had such a stressful stay! While our contract is detailed, we would never want our guests to feel as if they have to over-worry about simple wear and tear. As a matter of fact, the administrative fee that we charge acts in part as an accidental damage policy for the unit. Specifically, it helps cover the unit for up to $1500 in accidental damage. This means that if a child gets crayon on a wall or breaks a lamp, we will not have to charge any exorbitant fee. We don't ask that our guests do much in the way of cleaning, either. We only ask that you remove all your items that you brought in, wash and put away whatever dishes you have used, and take out your trash. It's really a rather relaxed approach that most guests appreciate, so I hate to hear that you were so frustrated by it. As far as linens go, we do provide them on stays of five nights or longer. For shorter stays, we offer the opportunity to rent them at a very reasonable rate. Otherwise, you can of course bring your own. Offering this opportunity helps keep the rent rates low for shorter weekend stays, like yours. I'm sorry again that you felt so stressed. I hope I was able to clarify some things so that next time you can focus on making memories with your family instead of cleaning. Thanks again, and we hope to see you back at the beach again soon!

Great Week!

Janssen is in a great location with quick and easy access to a gorgeous beach. We liked that it was close enough to the boardwalk to walk there, but far enough away from the noise, crowds and traffic. The unit itself I'd rate as 'good' as it needs some updates, but everything worked fine and we had almost everything we needed. It was very clean - which is a huge plus. I would add a dustpan so that renters can help clean up the sand without pulling out the vacuum each day (sand is inevitable!) The check-in process was a dream!

Overall really good. just a few small things.
I think the kitchen appliances need upgraded to accommodate people who like to cook full meals at the beach. the blender did not work so well either.
there was a storm Sunday night and it didn't seem that bad but it was a little scary when the condo actually starting moving back and forth. the ceiling fan was swaying back and forth and essentially everything in the condo moved for 5 minutes or so. I am not sure if that is normal.

Manager's Response

We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Many of us enjoy the storms when they roll through the beach, these beach houses offer amazing views and experience the storm very differently than most homes. All buildings move and are designed to move with storms. The sensation of the movement, and the amount of movement is greater the larger the building, or the more "aloft" the building. The condo you stayed at is elevated on pilings. In these buildings, you will feel more movement in larger storms, than a standard ranch style home. Did you know the Sears Tower was designed to sway up to 3 feet?!? That being said, what you experienced is normal and we appreciate your feedback. We are also sending out a maintenance tech to repair or replace the blender you noted. Looking forward to serving you again in the future!
