Great place for our short beach trip

Great Property & Wonderful Host!

Erica was super responsive and communication was wonderful! The property was clean, cozy, and very close to the beach! The pool was a great bonus too for the whole family, but especially this very pregnant mama and our toddler! We had an awesome mini vacation and look forward to staying here again in the future if availability and such permits!

Island Dream review

When we first got to the property we were shocked it was not a two bedroom as described. However, after contacting the owners we received a partial refund and they did get us a blow up mattress for our stay. The property is indeed a one bedroom smaller unit. The property is very close to the beach and common pool. If we were traveling with less people I would book here again

Great cozy condo for a family of 4

We enjoyed our stay at Erica’s condo. It was updated and decorated nicely. When we escaped the heat the inside was nice and cool so we gathered in the living area to play games. The beach was right around the corner. Communication was great! I would recommend her condo for a small family.

Beautiful condo with everything we needed for a small Mother/Daughters getaway. The beach is not far, pool's right there. I haven't stayed many places where there were enough towels...we had plenty! Smelled so clean when we walked in. Just what we needed! Erica was great with communication. Will definitely be back!

What a cute place to stay!

This property was everything I thought it would be and more. Aside from being exactly as described there were little extras as well. There was a little piece of candy on our towels when we arrived. Just like if you were at a hotel. There was also a complimentary jar of taffy that I enjoyed over the week. There were a few dishwasher tabs, laundry tabs and plenty of toilet paper and paper towels for 2 people over the week. I felt like I was at a very nice hotel.

Family friendly apartment

We had a wonderful week at Carolina Beach. The host responded so quickly to any questions we had and even checked on us during the week. There was always a parking spot available and it was a very short walk to the beach. Restaurants and grocery stores were just a short drive away! You could probably even get a nice walk in to the boardwalk from the apartment if you wanted but we didn't try it out because of the kiddos. Everyone in the neighborhood was so friendly and there was always someone on the beach willing to help carry our cart over the rocks. We loved the outdoor patio, especially for storing any beach gear or drying towels. The bed was very comfy! I feel like beach houses are notorious for uncomfortable beds and this is the first rental I've stayed at with a comfortable bed. We cooked dinner almost every night and were able to use the pots, pans, and utensils provided to cook our meals. We are so glad we found the rental and were able to enjoy a week at the beach.

Very disappointed

The condo is very pretty and clean. The TV did not work there was no dishwasher detergent. We washed dishes by hand and washed the floors. Then the host was unavailable for contact. However they then accused us of stealing a toothbrush holder and have been sending messages non stop. It is now 1:15 am by the way and they are still messaging We have had a lot of luck with gracious amd helpful hosts At Vrbo This sadly was not one.

Family vacation

When we arrived to the condo there was some slight confusion on the access code, I contacted the owners and the situation was immediately rectified. We noticed as we were going in that it was extremely warm in the unit. We thought possibly the people that were there prior may have forgotten to turn the AC on. So we tried to adjust it, and there was a problem outside. The unit was frozen up, contacted the owner again. Not only did they come themselves To attempt to fix it, but when they realized they could not, they had an emergency repairman come out. By 9.pm everything was taken care of and the rest of our vacation flowed smoothly. I will definitely keep you all in mind when booking for next year! Fully recommend this property.

Great property

When we searched for properties, we wanted one with a pool. There are 3 property buildings that share the pool, but the pool was clean and never crowded. The property has been almost entirely updated....everything except the shower. It has been tastefully decorated. It is only a block from the first open public beach access. There is some erosion on the beach, so the public access across the street was closed when we visited in August of 2021. There is no elevator and the property is on the second floor, so you do have to carry belongings up and down the stairs, but it wasn't too bad. The rental is on the smaller side. We had a family of 4 and it did work, since we didn't spend much time inside anyways, but it felt a little cramped at times. The owners are extremely quick to respond. We had an issue with the lights in one of the bathrooms as they both were not working. We reached out to let them know and they came over within a few hours and fixed them for us. As someone who enjoys her coffee in the morning, it would have been nice to have a regular coffee pot, as there was only a Keurig available. I would definitely recommend staying here.

About the host

Hosted by erica sharp

Chris & Erica are adventure seekers and travel lovers! Together we enjoy exploring new places, great food and live music. We truely love our little island and beautiful downtown Wilmington. So its super fun for us to host others and share everything we love about our community!

Why they chose this property

We love the island life and especially the the slower pace of the North End. Carolina Beach has so much to offer from great food to beautiful scenery and loads of adventure!

What makes this property unique

Right across the street from the beach, steps from the pier and tiki bar plus walking distance to hustle and bustle of the historic CB boardwalk. Our island is bike and skateboard friendly with a chill pace to help you wind down.
