Beautiful Condo/Great Location

Thank you for a wonderful stay! The condo is beautifully decorated, relaxing and perfectly located with enough space for our family. Well stocked with kitchen items as well as beach chairs, mats, etc for great beach days. We love that we can walk straight out to the beach or the pool. Our second time visiting and we are already discussing next year. Thank you so much!

Perfect!!!!

Beautiful remodeled condo. Owners are wonderful. We felt at home with all of the amenities that the owners provide. Beautiful oean view from deck, private beach access and pool. Sand Pebbles is family friendly and residents and guests were all so nice. Another plus is the condo is just up one set of stairs, making it easy to and unload. Condo is beautiful and very clean. We have stayed twice and will book again.

The property was very nice and the location was close to the beach, the pool, and a short walk from the boardwalk area and any other place we wanted to go. We didn’t drive our car for five days at one point. The condo is spacious enough for a family of 5. We really liked the town and places we went out to eat as well. Felt like it was still a local community that had not been taken over by the tourism industry yet. Only thing that caught us off guard were many places were cash only or added a 3.5% surcharge if using the credit card, so we regret not bringing more cash.

Such a great condo

I planned this vacation, we've never used vrbo before my fiance was terrified and she wasn't sure what we were going to run into LOL. we walked in and the place was GREAT super clean decorated awesome had everything that you would need if you were living there and more. Our son loved the pools you literally walk right out to the beach the owners were amazing we did have an AC issue but it was fixed in just a few hours that was very impressive to us. We got our deposit back in a timely manner also. Can't say enough great things about the condo, the owners and the location we will definitely be back

Beautiful condo

This condo was perfect. Super easy check-in process, no need to travel to a rental office. Unit was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Great view of pool and ocean. Easy beach access. Walking distance to many great restaurants and Carolina Beach Boardwalk. The master bedroom TV wasn’t working and the owners were super responsive and had a replacement the following morning. The beach area outside the complex was not crowded, lots of space to toss a football. You can tell the owners take pride in their unit.

Awesome Acccomodations!!!!!!!!

I highly recommend staying here. It was our first time visiting Carolina Beach and didn't know what to expect. Our condo was perfect, we had 6 adults and a five yr old. 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and the pull out couch were exactly what we needed. My grandson loved the top bunk bed. We slept on the pull out bed and surprisingly it was comfortable!! The view of the ocean was breathtaking. It was a short walk to the private beach. It overlooked 1 of the 2 pools which was awesome as well. We loved it and will definitely be coming back!! Owners were great and kept in contact throughout the whole process!!

Best family vacation ever!

I can’t say enough about this entire experience. This was our first family vacation ever and it did not disappoint. The process of booking was so easy and seamless. The communication with the owners of the property was timely and accurate. I felt as if I was speaking with friends. The location of this property has an amazing view of the ocean and overlooks the pool. Anything you need is either walking distance or a short drive. The condo checked all of our boxes as far as amenities! They have made so many improvements and I can’t wait to see what they do next. We penciled ourselves in for next year already. I did this as we were leaving to come home! First of many family vacations in a wonderful location, fantastic atmosphere and excellent experience!

Great Condo!

We had a great family vacation! First time staying at this condo but won't be our last. Such a nice, spacious condo - plenty of room for our family. Had everything we needed and a short walk to the beach. There were a lot of cars but parking never seemed to be an issue for us. We did need to communicate with the owners for a very small issue but they were very nice and responsive. Highly recommended!!
