The condo was as described in the listing. Excellent location, easy access to the beach and lovely views from all three porches. Our family had a wonderful time and would stay here again. Could stand a few upgrades, fresh paint, new carpet and newer furniture but these things didnât detract from our experience, as we come to the beach for the beach!
The location is great. Walking distance to so many things. Price is comparable for the area. We truly enjoyed our time. They only thing I would say is the unit could use a little sprucing up but we would definitely stay there again.
If you are on the fence about booking this property, DO IT! The views from all three balconies are breath taking. The condo itself is outdated and the furniture is old but the view more than makes up for that. It is right on the beach and walking distance to restaurants. My family and I will definitely be coming back next year!
Location was perfect! Access to beach right there and fairly close to the Boardwalk. Other reviews were accurate regarding the condo itself. Very dated! Needs a major renovation. Bathrooms were very small. 2nd bedroom bathroom was dirty. Walls going up into the condo and the upstairs bedroom were dirty and scuffed up bad. Light bulbs need replaced. Did not find the garage remote until we were leaving. It wouldâve been nice if it was left out. Our vehicle was a truck so no other car could fit. I stayed in the same building last year but a different unit. Two totally different vibes. Sad to say I was a little disappointed this year.
OK location, but clearly needs a deep cleaning and major updates.
We recently stayed at this property, and while its location is greatâideal for teens and adults who are able to walk a distance, it falls short in cleanliness and upkeep. For older family members, a car is essential for getting around. But there is no free parking anywhere except for restaurants. The beach access is excellent, which was a plus. The cleanliness was disappointing. The carpets, walls, and furniture were dirty and worn and felt sticky, with chipped paint, holes, and cracks in the walls. Showers had chipped paint and one had mold. Despite the nice layout of the place, it desperately needs a deep cleaning and updates. Until improvements are made, I won't be returning.
The place is in a great location and it's really cute. Please wash/paint the walls all over and update the kitchen. Everything else is as promised, great views, and close beach access!

We have chosen Templeton year after year for its convenience to the boardwalk, the number of bedrooms, and the great views.

We had a great time at Templeton. There was a ton of space and we enjoyed the layout of the condo.
Location is great, close to the boardwalk, lake, and restaurants. Parking in town is expensive, you walk to most places.
One note is that the property photos do not accurately represent the condition of the property. Mostly cosmetic issues.

The folks at Bryant were so great to work with, I will use them any time I am vacationing at Carolina Beach. I came in on short notice but they got me in early. A vacation that started on a nightmare turned into a wonderful time with my daughters and grandaughters.
Clean enough and perfect location. The decks are wonderful and the beds are great. Definitely needs updates and some TLC. The kitchen and full baths need to be gutted and totally redone. The couch sags. I also didn't understand why I had to stop the realty office to pick up check in materials. I'd definitely come back, though.

Four adults and one child stayed in spacious Templeton at the beginning of the summer. The location and the building were very quiet. Everything we needed was in the home. We had a few issues with the bedding on the first night but Bryant took care of it for the linen supplier the very next morning. We hope to stay in or near Templeton again.

We loved that it was oceanfront and it had enough room for our family. A deep cleaning would have been nice. I spent the first day cleaning it myself and Maintenance had to come in to clean the dishwasher which was moldy/mildewy. It could use some updating.
First, I have a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan and it fit exactly in the garage with my windows folded in and a couple inches to spare, so if you want to know if your vehicle will fit, look up the dimensions. No one would give me measurements so hopefully this will help future tenants. The location of this place was excellent and with three college age kids with us, having them on their own floor with own bathrooms was perfect. It was so nice having three balconies with views. Although some of the furniture and carpeting needed cleaning or replacement, this is a beach house and we were fine with it, we did not spend a lot of time there. We thought it was a great place and would definitely stay there again.

Rental had the best views ever! Alot of steps as it's a town house so I would not recommend for older people or people with younger children but it made for a great family vacation as everyone had their own space. Great location. Close to everything. Only reason I gave a 4 star to condition is that it is dated and could use some upgrades and if you plan to cook its light on pans, otherwise everything you need. Thanks for a great 1st trip to Carolina beach. We will return.

Overall the condo was fine. Location is good and the ocean view was was nice to have bedrooms and baths on separate floors. There was a problem with the access code when we arrived, but a new one was activated immediately when I called Bryant. Inside there were two different WIFI passwords posted, both different from the one Bryant communicated. We were only there for the weekend were surprised to find no paper towels, dishwasher detergent or extra toilet paper.

The rental was very nice and only steps from the beach. It was very clean and spacious, big enough for the whole family. A terrible inconvenience was that maintenance showed up during the stay to take measurements for the unit owner. They were noisy and disturbed us while we were relaxing. I would think that maintenance could have come between vacancies as to not disturb anyone. Some of the outdoor chairs provided were worn out and should be replaced as well. Other than that, it was a good stay.
The condo was large enough to accommodate 2 adults, 2 older teens, and a middle schooler. 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths with a sofa made it easy to spread out. The bathrooms were somewhat small. Almost everything needed updating (walls painted, carpet cleaning, etc) but that also meant we didn't have to be extremely careful with things either. I've stayed places where I felt all I did was clean to keep things spotless. Everything was clean when we arrived. Bed linens were clean and without stains. The bathrooms were clean. The kitchen was clean. Be sure to take paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, and any other things you might need. The 3 balconies were great for viewing the ocean. However, there was no direct beach access. You either had to walk on the street or open the garage door to get to the access. Beaches were not crowded which was a plus and why we love Carolina Beach. Easy walk to the boardwalk and any other shops/restaurants you may want to visit. Overall, good stay.
