Amazing location to the beach and beautiful rooftop views. All the rooms were clean, had great natural lighting, and the house had great beach amenities to use. Walking to North End Cafe for coffee was a plus and it’s an easy walk or drive to the boardwalk. Great stay in a beautiful house!

We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The location was perfect—just steps from the sand with beautiful ocean views. The house itself was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially loved the bright, open living areas and the outdoor space. The host was responsive, friendly, and made the whole experience seamless from check-in to check-out. This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

The house is well appointed and our large family gathering enjoyed the ample space. We are already planning our next stay at this property in 2025. Hosts are very responsive and helpful.

We had a great time during our family beach week at this lovely home. Matt and Kristin were great hosts and were very responsive. The house itself is well-equipped with everything you could need and it's a great space for groups of people to play games and chat. There was plenty of sleeping space and the beds were comfortable with quality bed linens. The location was great, just a short walk to the beach across the street. The roof top deck was our favorite feature of the house!

Good times at Carolina beach

This was our second stay at the property for our annual fishing trip. Comfortable beds for all the adults in our group, common space on the 3rd floor has the best views of the waterway on one side and the ocean on the other. rooftop was an amazing way to start the day with a coffee and sunrise. The property was well stocked with plenty of utensils, pots, pans and dishes. The owner even provided the first case of water and a bag of ice for our cooler. We will continue to come back.

Perfect for families!

We enjoyed our Spring Break stay in this lovely home steps away from the beach. We vacationed with my cousin’s family and found the home to be very clean, modern and equipped for a comfortable stay. There was plenty of room with two king beds for the adults, our teens had their own space and the young children their rooms too. I loved the upper deck and private decks off the bedrooms! We appreciated the communication with the host and ease of check in and check out process. If we are ever in the area again, we would certainly wish to stay here for another nice visit to North Carolina. Thank you for sharing your home with us! Thanks for the bottle of wine too!

Family Beach Trip / Extended weekend

The property is just like described and listed. Great home, we loved the main floor with the kitchen and living area. The house is very clean and beds are comfy. Very close to the beach with a short walk right across the street. Kristin was very helpful, the home had little extras throughout the house like extra beach towels, beach chairs, kitchen items, and toiletries. The view from the roof and really all balcony’s are great with water views on both sides. Elevator worked great. Overall a great VRBO and host, would highly recommend for any beach trip stay to carolina beach. Would come back again.

Best property in Carolina Beach

It has been several years since I visited Carolina Beach. Not really knowing the area that well, I was hesitant to on booking a place. Boy am I glad that I did! The house was spectacular with the best views in town from the rooftop. It was super clean and offered EVERYTHING we needed from just chilling at the house, cooking, and stuff for the beach. Oh, and the beach is just across the street! Matter-of-fact, it’s location is perfect. Minutes from everything you need. If you aren’t certain yet, the owners Matt and Kristin are simply the best! I’ve stayed at a lot of places and most say that I have yet to be more impressed. Great personalities and super fast responses. Don’t miss out on the gem in Carolina Beach!
