Hope L.
I wish I could give 10 stars! Dena and Darren with Carolina Vacays, have been an absolute pleasure to do business with. We were a bit nervous putting our house on the market to rent out. Dena and Darren put our nerves at ease and patiently walked us through the process. Picking Carolina Vacays to be our property manager for our rental property was the best decision. We look forward to continuing to do business with them.

Outstanding managers of our short term rental (STR). We know nothing about STR's and thankfully Dena & Darren are there for us. They have guided and helped get everything ready. They are fabulous managers who care just as much about our property as they do about the STR guests who stay. Very responsive and a GREAT local resource who are right there if anything is needed. I can't stress enough how important it is to have someone local to manager your STR and be there for all guest needs. Speaking of guests, look at their reviews on any of the sites and you will one of the reasons they are so great. We are looking forward to a long relationship with Carolina Vacays. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I'd give you 20 stars if I could.
Angela M.
We couldn't be happier with Carolina Vacays managing our Wilmington home! Their knowledge of the area and property management, prompt responses, attention to detail and professionalism sets them apart from the rest. They take care of our home like it was their own, thank you Carolina Vacays!!
Jennifer D.
Carolina Vacays are amazing to work with! I am a local top-producing realtor and refer all my clients to Carolina Vacays because I am confident of their integrity and aligned values of client care. My clients have had nothing but the very best to say about Dena and Darren. They are professional and go above and beyond to take the very best care of their clients while securing peace of mind for the homeowner with their most valuable assets. I highly recommend them as they have also become friends of mine through their adventures of purchasing and maintaining their own rental properties. With over 35 years of experience they 100% understand the needs and wants of renters and property owners regardless of the term length and can help with ST, LT and mid-term rentals.

Carolina Vacays has been a Godsend! Dena and Darren were both knowledgeable and friendly when directing us in all of the "next steps" as we prepared our rental property. Always quick to respond when we have any questions or concerns. It has been a positive experience to partner with such a skillful team as we take this rental journey!!
Virginia S.
Carolina Vacays has been wonderful. They are on top of everything. Our house has been rented just about every single day since they took over managing.
Beth R.
We have stayed at TWO absolutely incredible Carolina Vacays properties. The Unicorn is centrally located, spotless and utterly adorable, with two super-comfy king beds (and a primary suite on the main floor). The Cargo District bungalow is cute, cozy and inviting, and has an enviable mix of modern convenience and historic charm. We love that our pups are always welcome, too. Carolina Vacays communicates beautifully and treats us like gold. It seems like no detail is too small when it comes to making guests feel at home!
Jordan W.
Dena and Darren have been life savers. They had to come in and clean up a mess that my previous property management company created. They are so transparent, they communicate and make sure that I know everything that's happening. I will never refer another company--I'm just in the beginning phase of buying investment properties and they will be in charge of them all. They definitely make the investment avenue so much more settling.
