I'm Mary-Katherine your host. I'm on the island most of the time and easy to contact via message directly in the VRBO app.
If you don't already know, Carolina Beach is one of the best kept secrets in NC! You can ride your 4x4 on Freeman Park beach, walk or wheel to anything you will need to make your vacation unforgettable- World famous Britts donuts, so many amazing restaurants, many with roof top ocean views, a new top of the line Arcade, carnival rides, rentable bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, live music & fireworks on the beach, Saturday farmers market by the lake, movies by the lake on Sunday evenings, visit the Kure Beach pier and do some fishing, the list goes on and on!
This location is superb for being able to have some privacy off the beach but with ocean views and access merely across the street. Once your vehicle is parked, you have no need to get back in unless you want to visit Fort Fisher or the Aquarium or battleship in downtown Wilmington (which is also a fascinating destination in itself! There are sunset boat tours and deep sea fishing tours available across the street as well. Our beach, unlike most in this area, has lifeguards and terrific businesses where you can rent chairs, umbrellas, etc. which can be set up for you in the mornings before the heat sets in!
Sorry no pets PLEASE download the VRBO app on your phone BEFORE you leave for your trip so you have quick access to ALL check-in instructions, access codes, WiFi info, your house manual & guidebook.
Please treat our place like it is your own No pets Leave shoes at the door to reduce the amount of sand in the unit No towels or clothing over balconies (outside furniture ok) Please do not feed birds off the balcony Please follow check-in & check-out procedures closely Please do not boost the thermostat more than 1-2 degrees at a time Please do not wash off make-up on towels/washcloths; only disposable wipes Please do NOT put extremely sandy clothing or towels in washer or dryer It is prohibitive to allow children or pets on the balcony without adult supervision at ALL TIMES!
Most importantly, PLEASE ENJOY our beloved ocean side "Sandbox" condo. It brings us genuine joy to know you enjoyed your stay, that's our goal. We want you to return year after year.

Location was perfect, the beach is just across the street, along with a taco restaurant (food was really good) and a convenient store. The condo was clean and nice very well stocked with essentials and extras. My only complaint was the bathroom shower in the main bedroom was so so small l could barely turn around and the fixtures were old. Other than that, I would recommend.
Thank you for making our quick trip to Carolina Beach enjoyable. We appreciated all the extras and being so close to the boardwalk for the weekend event. We will definitely book again.
Great location! Beach access is right across the street - parking lot is the only thing between the condo and the beach so you can see the ocean from the balcony. Public beach access is also on the Boardwalk so easy walk to the rides, etc. Beds are comfortable. Communication was quick and efficient.
