We have stayed at this condo several times. It is a beautiful, well maintained condo with an amazing large covered deck and is equipped with everything you need while away from home. 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.

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.

We spent 5 wonderful days at the beach. The weather did not always cooperate, but that was ok, because the deck was very comfortable and expansive. We did not to spend time on the beach, just more time out on the deck. The condo was very clean and relaxing. The bed was comfortable. We ate dinners out and made a lite breakfast in the kitchen. We would definitely come!back!!

Great upgrades & deck

We had a great 5 day stay here. The upgrades to the condo are really nice, and the deck is huge, well furnished and a terrific place to hang out when you don’t want to be on the beach. Michael and Michelle are top notch hosts. Carolina Beach is fun and low key with lots of great dining options. This is a great rental.

Perfect getaway

The place was super convenient. We like coming to the beach during the off-season because there’s fewer people. We chose this location because of the deck facing the ocean. It’s massive and a really great place to hang out. We spent most of our time out there. Seeing the sunrise each morning from that deck was really amazing. Highly recommend this place.

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.
