Family gathering

It was perfect for our 3 generations of family with lots of room indoors and out, with a spacious, well supplied kitchen and eating area. The pool and surrounding area had plenty of chairs, lounge chairs, stocked with beach towels and kids toys etc. The view of the ocean from 3 decks is wonderful and it’s a short private boardwalk to the ocean. The home is immaculate and well cared for and we hope to return!

"Our Place in the Sun"

"Our Place in the Sun" was the setting for my family's wonderful annual hang. Although it did have some minor issues, like ants and a clogged showerhead, I am overwhelmingly grateful... On the beach; ocean views; nighttime family hangs on the balcony; daytime hangs in the living room watching the Olympics & playing Euchre; Texas hold 'em on the dining room table.

Best Beachfront Home!

Our stay at this oceanfront home in Carolina Beach was fantastic! The location is unbeatable, right on the beach, and the house itself was clean, cozy, and very well stocked. Even though we were there during Tropical Storm Debby, we still had a wonderful time. The host was kind, helpful, and responsive throughout our stay. Honestly, I almost don’t want to leave a perfect review because I don’t want anyone else to discover this gem! We want to keep it all to ourselves. Highly recommend!!

Family vacation for 9, please!

Let’s just start with, WE WILL BE BACK! Everything about our trip made it a 5 star experience. Countless core memories were made by all and this was the perfect first experience of the ocean for our kids. The house is immaculate, and literally the only item we couldn’t find were chip clips, which was fine… because we ate all the chips. Great views, responsive hosts, and heated pool. What more could you need?

About the host

Hosted by Melinda Miller

Host profile image
Glenn and Melinda live in Chesterfield, Virginia. Avid beach lovers, this purchase has been a life-long dream. With three children in their twenties and their first grandchild on the way, they wanted a place for their growing family to come back together and enjoy each other. This purchase began their foray into beach property management through their company Our Places in the Sun, Inc. Their wish is to provide a relaxing and refreshing family vacation experience for other family-oriented renters who value spending time with family and friends through this and other properties on Pleasure Island.

Why they chose this property

Carolina Beach is a great family friendly beach suitable for small children with its extended shallow wave break zone. It is also attractive to surfers due to moderate swells that occur a bit further out. With close proximity to Wilmington, upscale shopping, dining, and historic tours are only 20 minutes away. Locally, Carolina Beach offers Freeman Park where you can drive your 4-wheel drive vehicle onto the beach. Masonboro Island is close by for shell seekers. Fort Fisher is only 10 minutes away - where you can go to the NC Aquarium and the historic battlegrounds. The North Pier is within walking distance of the property. The Boardwalk and Britt's donuts are located approximately 1 mile from this home. Carolina Beach has unique shops, great restaurants, and local scuba diving, jet ski rentals, surfing lessons and fishing tours.

What makes this property unique

Water views are available from almost every window since the front of the home is oceanfront and the back has waterway views which are great for boat watching. 'Our Place in the Sun' is located close to the inlet making dolphin pods swimming close to shore a frequent occurrence. Close proximity to the North Pier and Freeman Park make it an ideal location for those who like to fish, crab, or rake for clams. A private walkway to the beach with an outside hot/cold shower make going back and forth to the beach a breeze.
