President’s Day Getaway

We invited another couple to go to Carolina Beach with us. Serenity Now provided a great spot for us to hang out and catch up on each others lives. It was located close to Carolina Beach, Kure Beach & the aquarium so we had plenty to see and do over the long weekend.

Great time!

Overall the stay and the place were great! Had never been to Carolina Beach before this vacation & found it to be very quiet and chill. Only negative was that the support handle in the master bedroom’s shower was broken. While it didn’t bother me, I could see it being a problem if a guest had mobility or stability issues. Would stay there again!

Fantastic

This is a World Cup well furnished well stocked condo right on the beach. What else can you ask for? There’s a small market with walking distance. The boardwalk and most of the restaurants are all within walking distance as well. The beach is much less crowded in this part of Carolina Beach. The beds were comfortable. I have no complaints.

Great location but it was buggy

Loved the location. The management staff was amazing and super helpful. We had issues with cockroaches and one shower did not have hot water. We did complain and we were offered to move to another unit. Problem was we were only there for the weekend and we wanted to be beach front. They did say they contacted HOA about the bugs and maintenance about the hot water. But… again… we only had three days to enjoy and it was impacted by the bugs.

Family beach week

The place was very clean! I felt comfortable entering with my family. The location is perfect and the patio is wonderful. There were a few things I would upgrade. There is no blender and the coffee pot is about to kick the bucket. It doesn't serve hot coffee and needs to be replaced. The back patio door is extremely hard to open. It needs fixed. We didn't reach out to the management as we didn't any to be bothered ans made it work. The king bed was comfy, the second room and one great mattress and the other needs replaced. We put our youngest in that bed as she is the smallest with little weight. These are all just small things to be done. Over all it was a beautiful week! The beach view and access to everything is perfect! Not a crowded beach this far up and we were even there for the 4th. Someone bear the building had an awesome display of fire works right in front in the beach. So we watched from our porch with a perfect view. I would recommend staying here. :)
