About this property
Up on the Roof - Ocean Views - Arcade - Air Hockey - iRacing - Glow Golf!
We're the tallest townhome in Carolina Beach—a soaring 5-story retreat with a private elevator serving 4 floors. Our 4th-floor deck and 5th-floor rooftop terrace offer unmatched 180° panoramic views of the ocean and town, letting you catch both sunrise over the Atlantic and sunset over the treetops from the same spot—no need to switch sides.
Two short blocks to the sand means zero sandy floors, free parking for 4 cars, and a quiet street away from beachside traffic. Inside, it's a private resort that oceanfront mansions would envy—loaded with fun, comfort, and thoughtful details.

This worked out so well for our group. Easy to get to the beach and provided a chill place to spread out and relax. The house had everything we needed and our hosts were very responsive to help get us oriented. We’d definitely recommend to others.
Our stay at this property was fantastic the home is gorgeous and wonderfully stocked. Comfortable beds lovely layout so many areas to sit and relax indoors and out. Kitchen is great. Elevator was amazing since we had kids. Rooftop was so nice with beautiful view all the way to the Carolina Beach pier. The walk to the beach was short and your access is close to the Tiki Bar. You can see the fireworks from the rooftop or the beach access. We will rent this home again for sure.
Our family stayed at Up on the Roof for a trip to Carolina Beach, and it is the best beach house we’ve ever stayed in. Plenty of room for our group, great layout, fun and unique game room and an unbeatable rooftop patio made this an awesome place. It’s only a 3-5 min walk to the beach, making it easy to come and go. Easy check-in process and good communication from the host. There is a well stocked kitchen. And down in the garage we found chairs, umbrellas, wagon, games and basically everything needed for the beach. We really couldn’t have asked for much more. We’ll be back for sure.
We had an amazing time staying at this beach house. Very clean and well laid out. Plenty of room for two families to have space. Beautiful views from the rooftop and fun garage with lots of games.
This is an amazing property & location! Only a short 2 minute walk to the beach. The home is so clean and the owners have excellent taste in decor and durability of furniture. We had 6 kids under 8 and there were no safety concerns! The home was very comfortable for all. There were entrainment options galore for the kids & adults too. The owners were so responsive to issues, even though they were minor. We're already checking calendars to see when we can come back!
