The condo was incredibly clean, especially considering the location near the beach. Had everything we needed and wanted for a relaxing, enjoyable trip. The elevator was a little tricky, although nice to have for the less mobile of our group and for getting luggage and groceries in / out.
My favorite place at Carolina Beach! This location is great, close to the beach and boardwalk etc. There are beach towels, chairs and umbrellas etc. Christine was great and helped us with any questions we had. We will be back!
Very nice and clean upper floor of a three story beach house. Not even 2 minute walk to the beach and within walking distance to the boardwalk as well as a short drive to the pier. Would stay here again.
Great location, walking distance to anything you need. I would call the middle room without balcony access the master. If kids stay in the 2 guests rooms they access the balcony/exit, not a closed in balcony. It worked for us but I’m sure some would prefer a different setup.
This is the best location. A block from the beach, view of the fishing pier and walking distance to Boardwalk and several wonderful restaurants. This was our 5th stay at the Penthouse and will definitely book again.
Christine is a wonderful host. I am so thankful she shared her special place with us. The atmosphere is lovely and inviting. It is such a great location. We are looking forward to when we can stay again.
LOCATION! safe area for walking, jogging, kids to be on their own too!, comfortable, easy to grocery store, gas, boardwalk, simple, family oriented, but for teens too! amenities were so helpful as well.
I was in Wilmington for Ironman race with family and friends. Condo was wonderful. Well stocked with supplies. Spectacular views. We could walk to the beach, restaurants, and bars. Will stay there again.
We planned our first family vacation to the North Carolina shore. The penthouse checked all of our boxes for location, bedrooms, bathrooms, living space and price. Traveling with kids, teens and adults we needed a place that would keep all parties happy and comfortable for a week. Very pleased to say the penthouse passed with flying colors. Very easy beach access, short walks to many restaurants and the boardwalk.
Christine was very easy to communicate with during the booking process. I really appreciated her simple directions to make check-in and check-out smooth.
If you are traveling to Carolina Beach for a family vacation the penthouse should be at the top of your list!
As if any review there are always pros and cons…
Starting with the pros -
The condo is in a great spot or Carolina beach and very close to the beach itself. The owner was very quick to reply and explained the rules / supplied all needed information in good advance. The condo itself was nice and clean and also had a nice porch with a view (after all it is the top floor!). And parking can accommodate two cars covered which was nice as well.
A couple of cons which may or may not be important to some but it’s always worth mentioning for those considering this property -
The master bedroom bed was extremely uncomfortable, and if you moved at all, you had loud sounds from the box spring. Additionally, (and I understand the reasoning) the pillows provided had a protectant cover on them which made a “crinkle” sound when moving around. It also made sleeping on them a little hotter than your typical pillow. I would recommend to bring your own.
The only other con is regarding the elevator. While the description mentions an elevator in the property, expect to only use for loading/unloading. If you don’t follow the directions exactly, it leads to the elevator not working and a $500 fee to fix it. Based on all the warning stickers, you also need someone to assist who isn’t taking the elevator to close the outside door after the people riding properly close the according door. For most, this isn’t an issue, but we had elderly people who just had back and knee surgery so that lead to a little disappointment.
Overall, I’m sure most folks would love this place! For me, a couple tweaks and it would be 5 stars.
Loved staying in the penthouse. Great location: walking distance to the beach and boardwalk. Beautiful house and the property owner was very easy to get a hold of via messages and super accommodating. Highly reccomend.
The Penthouse was perfect for our needs...three generations. Close to beach, views of water from front and back, plenty of spacious comfort, and an elevator to accommodate the grandparents. So many things within walking distance for the younger folks. Christina was a blessing to work with as we had to juggle our plans and she worked with us. It was great.
The Penthouse was not only a wonderful place to stay but the location could not be beat. From our temporary home we were able to be at the beach and/or boardwalk in minutes. And when we were 'home' our views of the ocean and canal were perfect. We were even treated to mother nature's own fireworks while sitting out on the porch watching the lightening storm in the distance. There were six of us. Each pair had their own room and bathroom making things very easy on all of us. We played games, watched movies, made simple meals and snacks, and just plain enjoyed being with each other. In short, we loved the Penthouse and would certainly consider it again if we go back to Carolina Beach.
Thank you to Christine for opening your place to us. The welcome bottle of wine was a sweet touch and very much appreciated.
If you are considering time at Carolina Beach, a stay here would be a great choice.
We had a wonderful time! The place was very clean and spacious. It is walking distance to many restaurants and an easy one minute walk to the beach with plenty of space on the beach to put up a tent or parasol. The faucet to rinse off outside on the ground level was very convenient when coming back from the beach. Overall, the condo exceeded our expectations!
