  We had the most wonderful stay at Sound of the Sea! The neighborhood is quiet, beautifully maintained, and the property was easy to find. The covered parking kept our car cool during the day and the garage/basement space had more than we could have wished for in terms of beach chairs, bikes, some beach games, and beach toys. The wagon, though a tad rusty, was sturdy and helped us haul all our beach stuff! We appreciated having the hose to rinse sand from feet and items and didn't find the need for the outdoor shower, which was great to have. The unit itself was immaculate. Every room was well laid-out, the beds were comfortable, the linens were clean and crisp, and we appreciated the extra blankets and pillows in each room. The bathrooms seemed brand new and were spotless. The kitchen was incredible- all the pots, pans, knives, plates, cups, etc, plus mixing bowls, utensils of all kinds, all superbly organized and clean. The dining table was perfect for our family of four and we could have accommodated a few more. The family room was comfortable, beautifully decorated, and came with board games and some books. We enjoyed having the "smart" tv's in every bedroom and living room and found them easy to use. The smart thermometer was wonderful and kept the unit cool and comfortable! The laundry room was free of any sand or dust and we found the washer/dryer to do an excellent job. Beach access couldn't

• Clean and Family-Friendly

  5/5

  Sounds of the Sea was very comfortable for our week-long stay. Everything was clean, organized and well-marked. Lots of hospitable touches by the owners that alleviated our mental load while away from home. Beautifully decorated - homey and classy. Our walk to the beach was typical for Caswell Beach. Doable for our kids who are 10, 9 and 5. I didn't realize there was a hot/cold outdoor shower and that is a big bonus for us! We would stay here again.

• Wonderful stay in lovely property

  5/5

  We had a wonderful stay here. It's accurately described, super clean, and has everything you'd want in a beach rental. The condo is recently updated and well stocked with all the necessities you need, the back deck is large for a place this size, and is perfect for spending some time outside. It's a quick walk to the beach with good storage for sandy beach things in the garage downstairs, and the covered parking is a plus on hot, sunny days. We also made use of the bikes. While it wasn't an issue for us, it may be worth noting that this unit is on the top floor, so anyone needing help with stairs should be aware. Lovely property, highly recommend.

  Manager's Response:

  From the Owner: "Thank you for taking the time to share your comments and experience while staying at our beach rental. We are pleased that you enjoyed our condo and your stay. We love spending time on the outside deck as well. Your feedback about the stairs was beneficial. The information is in the listing, but it needs to be in a more accessible location. We hope that you will visit again. Thank you."

• Great Neighborhood

  5/5

  We love this condo complex at Caswell Beach. It is a very quiet stretch of sand and has easy, handicap accessible accesses which are great for mobility challenges, wagons, strollers. Super short walk to beach from this unit- closer to beach than some units in neighborhood. There is not a view of golf course even though you are right on it because of trees right off the deck. Unit is updated and fresh and was very clean. Definitely appreciate linens, bikes, beach items and starter items like dish tabs and toilet paper. Only needs mixing/ serving bowls. Thank you for a great stay.
