✨Heated pools in Carolina Beach and Kure Beach are typically heated seasonally, most often from early spring through fall, when outdoor temperatures allow them to function efficiently. Pool heaters rely on the surrounding air temperature to maintain comfortable water levels, which is why they perform best when nighttime temperatures stay above 60°F. When temperatures drop below this range, especially overnight, it becomes much harder (and less effective) for heaters to keep the pool warm, even if they are running continuously. For this reason, heating is generally limited to in-season months to ensure guests get the best possible experience.

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. Very clean, very organized and lots of amenities. The pool and jacuzzi were clean and extremely relaxing.
The check-in process was easy and the property management was very attentive and answered our questions in a timely fashion.
House is in a beautiful location, close to the beach, boardwalk and parks.
Will be coming back!

Beautiful home. It was in a nice location, lots to do all around us or we could just stay in the house because it had a relaxing atmosphere. Really enhanced our vacation.
We had the best time at 13 Palms. The house, pool and yard were gorgeous. The house has plenty of space for relaxing in between pool time and trips to the ocean. We rented a golf cart and loved cruising around the neighborhood. The playground nearby was a hidden perk! We will definitely rent here again!

This is by far the nicest beach house our adult familu has ever stayed it. The interior was immaculant and beautiful. The back yard was a vacation oasis in itself. The management company was very responsive with the minor issue we have. I hope to make the house a regular vacation spot.

We had a lovely stay with a group of family and friends. Vacation home was very clean, with lots of amenities made available to us. I cooked a beautiful Thanksgiving meal in the well stocked kitchen. Everyone was comfortable, fat, and happy! Home was in a great location, and surrounding neighbors were friendly. Being close to grocery stores and restaurants made it very easy for everyone to get around. We also brought along our family dog and he loved the easy walks to the beach and park, everyone did! A1 property management was very helpful and quick to answer questions even on a busy holiday. Our family made some wonderful and fun memories in this comfortable, and beautiful home. We all decided we will definitely make our way back to this fantastic gem to make more.
Very impressed with the house, everything was very clean, well stocked kitchen, beds were comfortable, provided beach chairs and towels. The pool was a good size and heated, the fire pit and hot tub were also nice. Plenty of seating in the living room for the family to sit and socialize.

We stayed here for a week in July and it was a great house! It truly had everything we wanted or needed and the property management company was responsive to questions and well organized. We loved the pool and the beach was a quick golf cart ride away. Everyone on our trip agreed- we’d love to come back!
Loved the house and backyard area! The primary bedroom mattress wasn't comfortable, the sides felt like you had to get into the middle of the bed or fall off and it was too soft. It wasn't clear how to operate the outside speakers or operate the heated pool and we ran into issues with the main tv. The maint guy was very helpful and professional when he came by. We had a great time overall and it was a nice house for our group. The kitchen worked well and the grill outside was a good size for cooking. The property management company was responsive and very pleasant. Wished there were swim pool noodles to float with in the pool. Thanks!

Our family of 5 & our dog stayed at the property. It was very clean, modern, fully stocked with all the starter supplies needed & close to everything. We had plenty of room (and more) to spread out. The pool was so nice especially after a long hot day of site-seeing. There was plenty of room for parking (including the garage if you choose to). The house is close to a trail so it made walking the dog so much nicer (poop bags & trash cans are located along the way). We had a couple of minor issues that were addressed very quickly. The A1 team was so helpful/friendly. We had a wonderful time & we’re so sad to leave!

This was truly the best vacation rental we have ever stayed in—and we have stayed in many. The home was absolutely gorgeous, with top-of-the-line furnishings and thoughtful details throughout. It had everything anyone could possibly need: games, cozy throw blankets, fully stocked kitchen items, and more.We stayed over Christmas and were initially concerned about not having a tree or decorations, but those worries disappeared immediately. The owners had tastefully placed Christmas décor in every room, including a stunning white coastal-themed tree in the living room that paired perfectly with the electric fireplace. It made the home feel warm, festive, and incredibly welcoming.The room off the kitchen with a desk that could be closed off was a perfect setup for my husband to work remotely while we were there. The layout offered plenty of space, so no one ever felt on top of each other. We especially loved that everyone had their own bathroom—each one beautifully decorated.The private backyard was a heaven-sent. We enjoyed the high-end outdoor furniture, huge TV, hot tub, and impressive grill. There was also a gorgeous pool and a lovely fire pit. Although it was winter and we didn’t visit the beach, the home was fully stocked with beach chairs, floats, balls, and coolers, which would be fantastic in warmer months.Having a garage that fit two cars was another great bonus. Words truly don’t do this home justice—it is absolutely amazing. The only thing we regret is not staying longer!
