We had an issue with the place I rented so we were unable to stay there. The place we chose was specifically for the location. It was across from the main house we had rented. In response to the issue, everyone in their office started hunting for places close to where we were.
They found one within a couple blocks and moved us there. They bent over backwards to make thing right. I could not have been happier with my Bryant Realty experience. Well done Bryant Realty and a huge "Thank you" to your staff! What a great group!

Manager's Response

Elizabeth! It was truly a pleasure to work with you! We do apologize Robin Hood Cottage ran into an issue, but we are very please to inform you that we have fixed the problem. Great to hear you enjoyed your stay at Ocean Peak! All thought that property is not as close to the beach as Robin Hood, the 2 block walk is a breeze once you walk out the front door. Thank you so much for allowing us to be apart of your Carolina Beach vacation experience! We just can't wait for your next trip to paradise soon! Stay safe and healthy!

The house was cute on the inside. It was a little difficult with small children though. Having to go outside to go upstairs was not the best. The stairs were very steep and then it was an inconvenience to have to coordinate having a key to get in the main house. The upstairs bathroom was very small. There was a window unit ac in one of the rooms upstairs, that stopped working at one point. The other room had a stand alone unit beside the bed. Downstairs is 2 more bedrooms that was a decent size. All the beds sucked, the one that my wife and I slept on fell at one point during our stay. One of the chairs in the living room was broke and when you sat in it you would fall backwards. Not really about the house but we lost internet due to the cable from the pole to the house broke. Called the property manager about it and there was very poor communication. It never did get fixed. We did like that the kitchen had everything that we needed for cooking. The house was clean and didn't have to worry about bed bugs. There was also an out building that had 2 wagons, although one had a bad tire. There were also beach chairs, body boards, and sand toys for the kiddos. We liked that the house was right across the road from a beach access. All in all the house worked for last minute but for a family of 10,I don't see us staying at this property again.

Manager's Response

Ray - Robin Hood Cottage is such an adorable beach house with amazing beach access just across the street. This property offers families the ability to find privacy inside while also finding it easy to bond in any room of this house. Make sure to check out the photos of our properties before booking to make sure you are renting what you want. This property does advertise the access to the upstairs "the upstairs has a private entrance right next to the backdoor" this is also pictured on our website. Regarding your concerns about the internet, you were told by our maintenance staff that a scheduled appointment with the 3rd party company that supplies the internet was made for the day you called in this request. I'm happy to see that the internet was restored the same day reported. When planning your next trip to paradise, please make sure to browse our inventory as we have many options to choose from. Also contact our reservationist specialist and someone will be happy to find the right property for you. Thanks for choosing Robin Hood Cottage. We hope to see you again in paradise soon!

Loved that the cottage was across the street from the beach access. Beach itself was beautiful. We had a wonderful time. Highly recommend visitors take the Fisher Ferry to Southport; quaint seaport town.
I do have one negative, please note that the upstairs can only be accessed from the outside and the steps are steep and narrow.

Manager's Response

Cherie - Sounds like you made the best out of your trip to paradise! Thank you so much for allowing Robin Hood Beach Cottage to host your family beach vacation! You are so right! The beach access is literally right across the street from the front door, making finding your piece of paradise a breeze. I see that you had the time to check out that fun ferry ride over to beautiful historic Southport. Did you happen to have a chance to check out Fort Fisher? How about the aquarium with the all new otter exhibit? You passed right by both of these family fun activities while heading to the ferry. Make sure to come visit us again so you may explore more of this beautiful area. Thank you again for staying with us!

The location of this beach house is perfect. You don't have to worry about lugging your gear very far as the ocean is just steps from your front door. The house is an older one, but it is updated nicely and is was well stocked for our two families. I loved that the other family could stay upstairs and have their own space and we could have ours as well. My only suggestion would be to move check out to 11. Everything else was picture perfect!

Manager's Response

Jennifer - Wonderful to hear that you and your 2 families were able to enjoy the beautiful beach charm of Robin Hood Cottage! The convenience of the beach access across the street to this property is just one of the many perks! Robin Hood also sits on the corner of Carolina Beach Blvd, making experiencing Carolina/ Kure Beach a breeze! Restaurants and shops just minutes from the front door! Thank you for allowing Robin Hood to host your large family vacation, Jennifer! We're looking forward to hosting your next one soon!

The house had a Great location to the beach access. It was nothing fancy but it was clean and maintenanced well. The upstairs was fair... the stairwell was very narrow and dark and the shower up there is tiny. It has next to no ocean views.. but it was still nice setting on the front porch and talking with family. Overall a good vacation spot.

The pink house is great! It's older but well kept & in a great location. The rooms were comfortable & adequate. A few things I would suggest: Clear shower curtains for the showers, so you can actually see. More hooks in the upstairs bedrooms to hang things. Curtains on all bedrooms windows to help with morning brightness. Fix the hot water/pressure in kitchen sink. The remotes for the tv's in the upstairs bedrooms don't turn on or off & won't work for volume. Replace light bulbs that don't work. On a side note, the large advertising sign in the front yard is a bit tacky.
Other than those things we enjoyed the house and had a wonderful time!

Manager's Response

Thanks so much for the review Meredith! This home is unique and is great for the guest that does their research as you clearly have. I will pass along your suggestions to our maintenance team to make sure they address any open issues. Thanks again for your stay and we look forward to hosting you again soon!

Bryant Realty were nice people but lacked knowledge of this particular house in order for the hot water to be on immediately I was suppose to flip a switch at a box inside. They called maintenance instead.

Manager's Response

Joanne thank you for your feedback, when a guest calls in with an issue we try to diligently fix any issues instead of the staff assessing remotely. The maintenance tech found that the breaker had been tripped and needed to be reset. We apologize that this happened during your stay, but we hope that you did have a nice vacation.

I hesitated to write this review, but I think its important for the owners to see so the necessary changes could be addressed. First, the cottage is in a fantastic location, right across the street from the public beach access. However, it is on a very busy street, so parents with little ones should keep that in mind. When we checked in, the cottage was extremely dirty. There was still sand on the kitchen floor, there was a strong smell of pet urine by the front door, and there was actual dog feces under the master bed. The carpet is in dire need of cleaning, especially in the living room, along with the kitchen rug. I immediately called the agency who offered to rectify the situation immediately. After an almost 5 hour drive arriving close to closing time, we chose to clean it ourselves and make the best of it. In some of the rooms the ceilings were in very poor shape, sagging in some areas even. What was most concerning is the private entrance upstairs. Guest should be made aware, especially those with children staying, yes there is a private entrance, but this part is completely separated from the house. This was difficult at night when older children had to use a key to get into the rest of the house. When we arrived the oven did not work, and a strong sulfur smell came from the upstairs bathroom. Again, the agency agreed to send someone out to address it. There is no dishwasher, and nobody wants to wash dishes on vacation honestly. Since we couldnt use the oven, we just decided to enjoy the local restaurants! For the price we paid for the week, I think there needs to be some updating. It is a quaint house that has lots of character, but for well over $2000 for the week the condition of the home needs to reflect that price. I also think the cleaning agency should be reviewed, as we were asked not to put anything in bags for cleaning except sheets and towels, and the other bedding was not very clean. Again, just not what we expected.

Manager's Response

Hi Stacy- thank you for your honest feedback. I am sorry that the unit was not in top shape for your arrival. However, I am glad to hear that we offered to fix the problems. We will certainly bring this to the housekeeping supervisor's attention, as your family should not have experienced these issues. You are right about the private entrance- it is located just outside the kitchen door on the back stoop. As for the linens, a separate vendor rents the sheets and towels. We use a third party for our linens, so the owners' personal items (rugs, mats, bedspreads, shams, etc.) do not go back to that vendor. Our housekeeping and the linen vendor are not part of the same company. We appreciate your comments and hope you enjoyed your stay overall!

Beach house is located on a busy road and is closer to the Kure Beach pier than the Carolina Beach boardwalk. The beach access is excellent, but in my opinion, a car or bicycle is necessary to reach the piers, restaurants and shops.. The main floor is very nice, kitchen is functional and the bath has a tiled walk-in shower, flat screen tv's throughout. There are numerous family photos on the walls which I haven't experienced in other rentals, personally I would have preferred something beachy instead.
The upstairs, which has its own entrance, is great for teenagers or young adults. I say this because the stairs are steep and the ceilings are lower than downstairs. There is a nice bathroom up there and flat screen tv's in both bedrooms.
Pet friendly, which was very much appreciated. There is a small fenced in area in the back, it's a few steps from the back door.
The neighborhood felt very safe and well kept. There is a large hotel across the street, not much of a view but the front porch is nice for people watching. Again, the road is busy so children and pets need supervision.

It was like being at Grandma's house. The cozy little house was across the street from the beach with the front porch we sat on and watched the cars. I cooked dinner a few night for dinner around the table, showed my daughter how to make homemade chicken salad,and we spent nights either playing games or watching movies. The beach was less crowded than other beaches we have been to and the water was clear enough to see in. They even allowed our dogs to join us on vacation, I just wish we could have taken them on the beach.

The house is much bigger inside than it appears. Lots of room for 6 adults. The three 20 year old boys stayed upstairs and they felt like they had their own apartment, it was a little hot up there so not sure how it will be in July when really hot. Another window A/C unit would help. 4 BR with beds and a couch. House well equiped, W&D a plus. No dishwasher but no problem. Lots of chairs, toys and a wagon in shed. We had a dog so the fenced in area was nice however the dog did wiggle out one morning underneath the shed. We usually stay oceanfront so I thought I would be disappointed but was not, the hourse is right across the street and the beach access is directly in front of the house. Walkable to the boardwalk area and Kure Beach. Ample parking. Nice porch. Lots of kitchen items. Can't think of anything I'd change except to stay longer!! Such a cute house!!

Also the key for the shed in back that had all the beach supplies someone before us had broke the key off in the lock making it difficult for us to get in. Overall we had a great time and the house is very nice.
