When you find yourself heading back home from a beach day, rinse off sandy toes in the outdoor shower and head into the airy layout of the main level to whip up a tasty meal in the full kitchen. With bar seating, beautiful countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an abundance of cookware, you should have no trouble preparing your favorite recipes in no time. Not to mention, the rest of the gang will love relaxing in the living room complete with a large flatscreen TV, a gas fireplace, and access to the furnished balcony for a sunset cocktail.

There is truly no place like Carolina Beach, so book your stay while this rare gem lasts!

Comfortable beds, beach front, and good communication. We wish the thermostat would go lower than 70, but we were there in October, so it wasn't too bad. We enjoyed our stay.

Yes it was very welcoming and ready for us when we arrived. It was everything that we expected and had a memorable time as a family. Only issue was with the elevator but the repairman showed us what to do when it quit on us. Just needs some usual maintenance upkeep.

Perfect location and great house for a group.

Herons Hideaway is centrally located within a easy walk to the CB Boardwalk area and several restaurants. Direct beach access could not be easier. The layout of the house provides good space for a large group without being cramped. We would be happy to stay again.

Great beachfront spot

Great location, 1 minute walk to the Veggie Wagon, 8 minutes to the boardwalk. Seems like a recent remodel, well appointed. Though bring a colander, cheese grater, and casserole dish if you’ll need them while you’re there.
