Steps to the Beach:Oceanfront - Pools - Prime Spot

Welcome to your oceanfront vacation rental in Carolina Beach! Escape to this first-floor space where the beach is just steps outside your door.

It is a great space for your entire family – including your four-legged friend!

Property Highlights:

• Spacious Accommodation: The primary bedroom features a king sized bed, while the second bedroom is outfitted with a convenient queen-over-queen bunk bed, comfortably accommodating family and friends.

Whether you’re seeking a romantic retreat, a family vacation, or a weekend getaway with friends, this oceanfront property is the perfect spot to relax and recharge. Wake up to the sound of the waves, relax on the sandy beach just steps away, and create unforgettable memories at Carolina Beach – with your pup in tow!

WHERE YOU'LL FIND US

We've traveled up and down the North Carolina coast, and we haven't found a town we love more than Carolina Beach. At our condo, all the best spots are within easy reach. Plus, with access to two community pools, you can take a break from the sand and surf to practice your backstroke.

Of course there's the beach just outside your door, but within walking distance there's also Freeman Park for bonfires on the beach, Carolina Beach Fishing Pier, and a quaint downtown with plenty of places to shop or grab a bite. Don't leave without trying a Britt's donut!

Hop in your car (2 parking passes per condo) and drive just a few minutes to Carolina Beach State Park to walk down the Venus flytrap trail, see sea life up close at North Carolina Aquarium, or take a local tour to Shark Island.

unfortunately, the first two days that we were there, the building was being painted, and so there were workers in a basket going up and down the building which obstructed view, was noisy, and was a little obtrusive, as I was trying to sit on the porch and read. I understand this just happened to be the situation while I was there. I heard one of the owners say that the place had not been painted in years and desperately needed it. Just happen to be unfortunately during the time I was there! Also, the pools were not open for the first three days that we were there, and I was under the impression that they would be open.The condo is definitely clean, but pretty bare bones.The owners were very kind and gave me a 25% discount because of the pool closing and the workers.As far as location, it is in a great area. I will say, however, be very careful with how narrow the parking spaces are. My daughter was actually trying to get around one of the workers vans and ended up, scraping up the side of my car when she pulled in. As that happened on day two of our stay it put a bit of a damper on the trip.

Our stay was Oct 26-Nov 1. The condo was neat and clean as described. The kitchen was very well stocked. The only reason i didn't give it 5 stars was it didn't have beach access as described. The pictures show beach and beach access but because of bad weather and/or erosion the beach was gone and the city had put up huge boulders to protect property I'm assuming.The only beach access was maybe 2 miles down the road at the boardwalk. Actually the weather was pretty bad for about the first 3 days then got better. None of the issues with erosion is the owners fault of course but it would've been nice to know that there was no longer any beach access, we might've chosen a different beach. That was really the only negative thing i can say about the stay. I will say watching the waves crash on those boulders was a site to see! The condo was wonderful!The owners went the extra mile in making it homey. They were also very quick to reply to questions. It was perfect. We found the whole beach to be warm and friendly. Everywhere we went the people were smiling and easy to talk with. Every restaurant we went to was delicious and the staff was fantastic. Restaurants we visited were: Stoked-a little pricy but worth it. CBGB Carolina Beach Grill and Bar- perfectJack Mackerel- pricy but worth it. Sand Spur- loved it!Sunny Daze- on the boardwalk- awesome!Parking is about 5 an hour. I would recommend Carolina Beach to anyone. Beautiful place with lovely people.

The beds were very comfortable which is so important and was a highlight of our stay. My kids loved the queen bunk beds too. There are some things that need fixing around the place, but nothing major. The rainshower head in the master bath basically points straight ahead so only a tall person could really have their head above the water flow. The deck is very uneven and out of level. It made it a little harder to sit back and enjoy as you end up sitting tilted, but the view of the ocean is gorgeous! The beach out front was unfortunately washed totally away by the last storm and their is a barricade of huge rocks protecting the dunes. We were able to walk behind the rocks for about a block to reach the open beach and go for walks. There was also beach to be had if you walk a couple blocks north on the street. I hear they will be infilling the beach this winter so that should make it a normal beachfront again.

Wasn’t what I was expecting but still awesome!

The pictures make the condo appear larger than it really was, but it was still plenty of room for 4 guest though. The room was clean and very comfortable. The view of the ocean from the balcony was perfect. The Property owners were very responsive and helpful. The conditions for my dogs weren’t ideal because you had to search for grass that didn’t have signs that said no poop or peeing. I suggest you take your dogs to the sand every time they use the bathroom to get them use to it. There is grassy areas they can use the bathroom but you have to find them. Overall I give this condo a 4.8 out of 5. My stay was very relaxing and rejuvenating. I would definitely go back and stay in the very same room. Very pleased with my stay.

A Little Slice of Heaven

Our stay was pure enjoyment, all around. What a beautiful and clean condo with an exceptional view! We didn't want to leave. Carolina beach is such a special place, and this condo made it even more special. It's convenient to all the great restaurants and spots yet it felt very private and peaceful. We were so grateful that we could bring our dog along, too! We will definitely be staying at this little gem again!

Great home base

We booked this condo to use as a home base while we saw our extended family for Thanksgiving. The property had everything we needed for simple meal prep, and our dogs were happy with the scenery from the back porch. We watched the sunrise every morning-directly in front of the porch. We were able to walk on the north end with the dogs every day-wide open spaces, and much needed relaxing time.

Another lovely stay!

We have stayed several years in this unit. The owners are friendly and super responsive. The neighborhood and the beach are quiet at this end. You can’t get any closer to the beach and it’s a 30 second walk to two pools. We love coming here and always have a relaxing family vacation that can include our English Bulldog! This year there was significant beach erosion at the north end of the island but that’s to be expected given the storms this season. Did not deter from a great trip. We still went to the beach every day!
