Close to everything

We enjoyed being so close to the beach and boardwalk area. We rented chairs to be set up on the beach for us every day so the convenience of just walking across the street and enjoying the beach was a great thing. Kitchen had everything we needed and we will definitely be back!

This was a great two bedroom condo perfect for us. Everything was clean as can be. We sat on the deck every moment we were there. There’s a heavenly breeze with very comfortable chairs. The town of Carolina Beach was within walking distance for us. We are in our mid 70s and had no problem walking around the town. and we really enjoyed getting our exercise each day and trying out new restaurants and coffee places. The small harbor across the street was so much fun to watch the boats come and go. We saw a lot of pelicans diving for their food. The highlight was seeing the old sea turtle. He was absolutely huge and one of the boats was feeding him fish. That was a thrill. The sunsets were amazing too!

Fantastic

The condo was the perfect location for the beach and the marina. Which we enjoyed a couple beach days and also a sunset cruise. Easy walk to the boardwalk for the adults and the teenagers. We loved sitting on the balcony and listening to the music at the sea witch at night with the convenience of having our own cocktails and bathrooms. The condo was comfy and decorated nicely. Will definitely stay here again on the next trip. The hosts were great to to communicate with very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic trip!

The condo is cute, super clean and the location is perfect! I felt very safe with my teens. It was a short walk to pretty much everything we needed. The beach access was close and we were able to easily catch a couple of sunrises and sunsets. I didn’t need to reach out to the hosts until after we left, but they were easy to catch and had very quick responses. Thank you for a great stay! We will be sure to look you up or refer friends when traveling to Carolina Beach!

Perfect location

We have a great time in this condo, walking distance to many restaurants and attractions. We used host Carole recommended restaurants list and it did not disappoint. Soul flavor, island burgers, uncle Vinny to name a few…Place is nicely kept and fully stocked with towels, sheets, dishes…. Communication with host is very easy, she came back right away with questions we have. Very easy to work with.Overall is a great place to have family spending time on the beach, plus 2 parking spaces is a big plus. Place like this just makes your vacation stay in Carolina beach a breeze.

Amazing family vacation!

We visited Carolina Beach for the first time and this condo did not disappoint! You are close to everything! Steps from the beach, restaurants and right next to a bar with live music every night that we enjoyed from the balcony while the kids were sleeping. Speaking of balcony we had the best view of the fireworks on Thursday night! The pool was a huge plus when our two toddlers needed to cool down after the beach! The condo had everything we needed and we were even able to do a few loads of laundry so we wouldn’t have to do them when we got home. We can’t wait to bring our kids back soon!

Great Place!

Just a short trip over Easter for a family of 4. The building is older and needs updating but the condo itself was recently renovated (bathrooms-well done!), and was perfect for us. I would say the kitchen could use some minor updates with new fridge and coffee maker (Keurig?) but honestly we didn’t use it at all, except for the coffee maker :-) The location is awesome! It’s literally within walking distance to everything. Just remember to bring ear plugs or a white noise machine as The Sea Witch has live bands almost nightly until midnight. Music was great but loud :-)
