Beautiful

We have stayed at several properties for vacation over the past several years and this home was the best by far. The owners truly provide all the amenities to feel at home and for use at the beach. We also had the best of both worlds, a sunset view over the bay right outside our deck and cross the street for the beach. Also, the owner checked in with us immediately to see if we needed anything. She was so responsive and cared. We would definitely come back here, there is so much to do and this is a great location. Thank you for making this such a memorable trip.

Great condo

This condo was exactly what we needed for our little group. It looks just like the pictures and was super clean. It took us 2 minutes to walk to the beach and the boardwalk is a mile away. The owner was very quick to answer all of my questions and very pleasant to deal with. Would definitely stay here again upon returning to Carolina Beach!

Fantastic view! Exactly as depicted in the description!

This was an amazing vacation home for my family of 4. The condo was well equipped and very comfortable. The walk to the beach was a very short easy walk. The sunsets from the back deck area were truly amazing. Every single night we had the best view. The owner is amazing and quick to respond. I would highly recommend this home and would definitely stay again if I was going to Carolina beach.

Carolina Beach Vacation

We had a wonderful time at this property. The house was beautiful and the location was great. The view off the back deck was gorgeous and it was just a quick walk to the beach. We really enjoyed the pool after a day at the beach and it was never crowded. The house was updated and beautifully decorated. It was very comfortable for our group of 6 and was well supplied with everything we needed and more. Alicia was a great host and responded to any communication in a timely manner. We would definitely stay here again!!

Beautiful view, host isn't stingy, which is refreshing. Have stayed in many rentals and most hosts don't leave you anything to help with the stay because they're cheap. This one is different. Just enough is left to make the stay more comfortable. Very pleased overall!

Perfect beach condo

The pictures don’t do the views from the house justice. The back porches were our favorite morning and evening spot. The location to the beach is ideal for an easy walk each day and for a ride to the boardwalk. The house is well maintained and stocked. The only reason we did not give 5 stars for cleanliness was because we accidentally found dirty belongings from previous renters under the master bed and the oven had been used but not cleaned and there was food leftover in it. We have high standards when it comes to cleanliness and everything else was really clean and made our stay here memorable and very enjoyable. We also loved all the recommendations from the owners !

An amazing place for the whole family-something for everybody!

This was my family’s first time visiting Carolina beach and I don’t think we could have chosen a better place to stay! The listing is extremely thorough and accurate and the host Alicia is very kind and was available to answer the questions I had for her during our stay. “The Haven” has a beautiful view of the marina & all of its boats & paddlers from two different decks, as well as access to a pier/gazebo that’s perfect for the fishermen in your family. Unfortunately the dock access was closed during this trip but that will be an excellent addition for guests who either own a boat or enjoy kayaking/canoeing/paddle boarding/fishing/crabbing. The beach is only one block away which made the walk very doable for the elder members of your family. The kitchen is perfect for the family’s best cook and the home is spacious enough for the energetic children. We chose to rent a golf cart to get to the nearby restaurants and attractions. The Carolina Beach Pier was only a few blocks which we loved! There was also a nearby kayak launch Alicia told me about that I really enjoyed using. I would recommend this place for any family or group friends - you will not regret.

The Haven is a perfect beach house. We love how close it is to the beach (1 street over, 5 minute walk), the private pool, and the sunset views on the back porch. Nicely equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, comfortable couch. Bring your own beach towels and extra bath towels. We'll keep coming back to Captain's Quarter's!

Amazing location! Quick 5 minute walk to the beach! The views off the back deck were 10/10, we loved watching the sunrise every night and even got treated by seeing a few dolphins our first morning there. Alicia was great to communicate with. The floors could have been a little cleaner but other than that everything was cleaned nicely. All of the beds were very comfortable.

We woke up to nornings on the canal. Weather didnt cooperate the whole time but the magic of looking out over the water can't be compared. Alicia was wonderful to work with, the property was clean and cozy and well supplied with necessities. Would recommend this property with no hesitation.

Sunsets at the Haven

Alicia was so kind to move our trip from fall to spring due to a hurricane. We had a fabulous trip with beautiful weather. Located on the canal, we got to watch gorgeous sunsets every night. We were steps away from the ocean for morning walks on the beach. We enjoyed Michael's Seafood, Island Beverages, and the Tiki Bar at Low Tides at the end of the street. We made a quick and easy trip into downtown Wilmington also for a great lunch at The Pilot House. We would definitely book again!

Family Beach Vacation

We had a wonderful time at the Haven. It is very close to the beach, about a 5 minute walk. The property was very comfortable, especially the beds. Although it only has one tv we rarely even used it. The owner is also very responsive and the few problems we had she took care of it right away. I would warn future guest though about the King Tide. On 2 nights water came up the road and if you don't have a high vehicle you couldn't get in or out. It only last a few hours then it goes down with the tide. I also heard it only happens a few times a year. The views out the back are beautiful and the front porch when there's a breeze is very relaxing. We played family games out there. Overall I would recommend the Haven.

Great stay!

Property was very clean and modern. Beautiful views from balconies. Location was very close to beach and in a quiet area. The master bed was very comfortable. Was informed by the other couple that the queen bed had a dip in the middle so they resorted to sleeping on the bunk bed. The pool was very nice and clean. There is a dishwasher but if you plan on hand washing anything, I recommend bringing a dish sponge or cloth. Alicia, the property owner, was very nice and responsive. Would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Alicia Knight

Host profile image
After growing with the beach as part of our lives (Pacific Ocean in CA for Alicia and Gulf Coast of AL for Lee), time on the coast brings us both rest and relaxation. After relocating from Washington DC to Raleigh in 2020, we began our search for a nearby beach community and place to call our second-home. So pleased to have found our vacation townhome in Carolina Beach as our place of respite.

Love walking on the beach, kids playing in the ocean, taking a dip in the pool, and enjoying the beautiful sunset. All the things we love to do and enough space here to do them with the people we love (family if 5 including our older daughter and her significant other; or with grandparents or two small families)!

When not beaching, we spend our time working, spending time with family and friends, and participating in school activities. In the summer you will find us at the neighborhood pool, and in the fall, in the stands at NC State football games (go Pack!).

We look forward to hosting you in our second-home.

Why they chose this property

Property offers the best of all Carolina Beach has to offer…waterfront views, beach a block away, access to bay for recreation, boat slip, community pool! The unit itself has an open layout, nicely furnished, clean and relaxing. All located on the quieter north end of Carolina Beach, fewer crowds but easy access to the boardwalk. We prepare the home in the way we want to experience it. Love it and we hope you do as well!
