I traveled with my daughter for Spring Break after Florida plans fell through. We had never been to this beach but have visited many on the Carolina coast. The weather didn’t cooperate but we did get one all day beach day. There was plenty to do within a short drive! We did a lot of shopping and even found our Easter dresses. We went to stores we don’t have at home. We did our own little tour of finding One Tree Hills series houses, bridge, and buildings. We got permanent matching bracelets at Tiny Weld. We walked the River Walk in Wilmington and took in sites. We visited Arlie Gardens with the tulips in full bloom and the beautiful Spanish Moss with the oak tree over 400 years old. Don’t forget all of the great food! This condo is decorated perfectly in my opinion. It’s new and beachy but in a simple way! Everything is functional. The condo was very clean. The deck and the view can’t be beat! You can watch the sunrise from the Master bedroom or the living room and deck in your PJ’s! The furniture on the deck is awesome for relaxing or eating a meal with the ocean view and sounds. We loved that the linens are all provided. The first floor definitely makes it nice to carry in luggage and groceries. They had plenty of soap, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, dish soap etc to start or possibly last your trip. Communication was great with the owners. We would definitely return.

Our favorite place was the deck with an unobstructed view of beach. The deck was like an extension of the condo with carpeting and lounge furniture as well as a dining table. It was just like the photo. We enjoyed an evening on the deck with the moon shimmering on the ocean. Decor is very beachy, cheerful and clean. We would definitely plan another vacation here.

The hosts are wonderful to work with and respond to any questions or concerns in a timely manner. The condo is close to restaurants and a very short walk to the beach. I highly recommend this condo if your destination is the Carolina Beach arae.

Family Vacation/4th of July/Birthday Celebration

We had a fantastic stay at this condo! Michael and Michelle were excellent hosts. They provided our stay details a week in advance of our stay so we could be familiar with rules and check-in/check-out times prior to traveling. We also appreciated that they provided our code to access the condo way in advance. The condo was beautiful, clean and had all the incidental items you would need and the pictures of the condo are accurate to what it looks like in person! The porch was awesome as there was so much space to hang out with my family and watch the sunrises. We celebrated my birthday and the 4th of July while staying here and really had a blast! We loved how close the walk from the condo to the beach was and how we could see our spot from our porch! Also loved how close the condo was to food & fun. It was our first time coming to Carolina Beach, NC and we will definitely be back and hope to book this condo again. Thanks again.

Perfect for our family !

Couldn't have asked for a better stay. The condo was very clean, and so close to the beach. First floor is just up a handful of steps, so it was easy to move in and out, easy parking. Storage locker for beach items was so helpful to store our things. There is a wagon and small shade tent, plus chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, a little of everything you could want. We hit the beach every day and pool also. It was cleaned each morning. Everyone slept great in the beds, including the trundle. A week to cherish for sure, thank you.
