About this property

Renovated, 1 BR 1.5 Bath Condo steps from the Ocean

WE LOVE PETS, BUT DO NOT USE INSTANT BOOKING IF YOU HAVE A PET. THIS PROPERTY DOES NOT ALLOW PETS. THANK YOU.

Leave reality behind and come enjoy our newly redecorated and renovated vacation home! This condo is perfect for couples or small families. Just a short walk and you're on the beach! This non-smoking 1BR/1.5BA with additional Queen sleeper sofa end unit condo is in the desirable Courtyard at Seascape complex. Be sure and enjoy the cross breeze on the balcony as you overlook the pool and listen to the waves. Just a block from the Carolina Beach Pier, this property offers a private pool with a beautifully landscaped courtyard. But if you feel adventurous and have a 4 wheel drive truck, 1 block away is the entrance to Freeman Park, one of NC's only beaches you can drive on. Daily, weekly and yearly passes are available (come back to see us often!)

Upgrades include:
• Upgraded kitchen includes new granite countertops and all appliances.
• New air conditioning/heating unit installed Summer 2019.
• Completely equipped kitchen for cooking large or small meals.
• Brand new queen bed as well as a new queen sleeper sofa with memory foam mattress
• Bright, warm color scheme with lots of sunlight

Amenities include:
• Secure Internet Wi-Fi included
• 32'' flat screen Roku-enabled LCD living room TV with a DVD/Blu-Ray player.
• 24” Roku-enabled LCD bedroom TV.
• Cable, Roku, Amazon Prime Videos and 100's of FREE full-length movies, music and TV series on our Sony Entertainment System, and free On-Demand movies and TV shows.
• Outdoor grills are available near the pool for family or group outings.
• In-unit washer/dryer.

When you want to take a break from the beach, there are many other options nearby to experience. You are only minutes away from the Fort Fisher Historical Park and Aquarium in Kure Beach. You can also take the ferry from Fort Fisher over to Southport for shopping, dining and a stroll through the quaint waterfront downtown area. Just a short drive away is the historic downtown and riverfront area of Wilmington. Here you will find cobblestone streets filled with a variety of shops and restaurants. One of the most interesting sites to visit and the pride and joy of Wilmington is the USS North Carolina - the World War II battleship that played an integral role in the Pacific Theatre.

Come visit and do as much as you want or as little as you want. It's all up to you!

Included in the cost of the rental is freshly washed linens (wash, hand and bath towels), kitchen towels as well as bed sheets for the bed and sleeper sofa. Some renters feel more comfortable bringing their own linens. This is completely your choice. The bed and sleeper sofa are both queen size.

A fresh set of washed linens, bed sheets kitchen towels are provided with each new rental.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Address: 1618 Canal Drive, Carolina Beach, NC 28428

What Floor: 2nd floor accessed through outside stairs. Look at the website pictures for the green building. My unit is in the middle on the far left with the shade down.

Quaint, quiet condo
Very nice, basic kind of place. We did a lot of beach going and shopping here at at Wrightsville so coming back to this condo was nice as it was quiet, the tenants keep to themselves, the parking is very easy. Only downside was the closest beach access is Periwinkle, which is an easy 2 block walk.

28 Steps!
28 steps to get to the condo. Very awkward getting the key from the lockbox. The condo was not clean when we arrived at 4pm. Bed was not made and trash was full, bathroom and kitchen was dirty. We left to go to the beach hoping the cleaning person was running late. We arrived back at the condo at 6 pm and found it the same as we left. We then called the owner and told him the situation and requested our money back. He said give him 10 minutes to get the cleaning person. We waited about 15 minutes and he called back informing us someone would come clean the place. Another 15 minutes there was a knock on the door. Holli the cleaning lady was very nice and she apologized for the condition of the rental. It seems there was a miscommunication from the owner regarding the date. Anyway, she worked like crazy cleaning. She even got down on her hands and knees scrubbing the bathroom and kitchen floors. She was so good and personable we forgot about the incident. Holli and my wife just hit it off. She even ran down those 28 steps to our car to retrieve items we forgot. She gave her cell number to my wife so we could call her at checkout to help us carry items down to the car. The condo was nice but not for the older folks like us. Those 28 steps ….

Needs a little updating/ deep cleaning
The stay was just ok. The place definitely needs some deep cleaning and updating in alot of areas. The ceiling fans and vents had a thick layer of dirt on them and so did the top of the headboard on the bed. the couch was very uncomfortable to sit on (it sagged in the middle) and the wifi was extremely slow. The bed was also uncomfortable to sleep on. the location even though it was close to the beach, the access was closed off to the public unless you wanted to climb over a bunch of very large, slippery boulders. The only access where you could bring beach stuff with like a wagon or beach cart was several blocks down the road so we didnt anticipate that. The walls are very thin so you can hear every footstep above you and people opening and closing the sliding glass door all hours of the day. There were several cockroaches on the front patio, but thankfully none inside the place. The kitchen and bathroom had everything you needed except body wash for the shower. plenty of towels, linens and the washer and dryer was a plus. The A/C was nice.

Great little getaway!
This was a perfect stay for a long weekend getaway. The porch was a lovely place to catch the corner breeze and even though the building is on Canal St., you can still catch a bit of the ocean between the between the buildings. The place has everything you need, was neat as a pin, plenty of light, will definitely stay here again!

Great quick trip!
We booked last minute and glad found this place! Michael was extremely easy to communicate with and prompt in response. The condo is not hard to find even late at night. We came in late and had no trouble parking or getting into the condo. It is exactly like pictured, simple cozy and perfect for what we needed. The only hiccup we had was the face beach access directly across from the condo was closed due to erosion probably from the recent storm. The next closest access is on the far side of the pier or a little ways down the road in the other direction. Both directions weren’t too far of a walk! Michael was responsive helping answer any questions he could about it and pointing us in the right direction to find a close access for a great beach day!

This is a 2nd floor unit and was easy to access. Parking was available and within close proximity of the unit. The 3rd floor walking was sometimes audible but not too distracting. The location was good- within walking distance to the Tiki Bar, Pier Restaurant - which was fun (fire pits and good food). The beach access was roughly a two block walk. The patio had pool view and the unit cooled very well. We would recommend. There was a thorough checklist provided electronically and on the refridgerator so we did not need to contact the owner about any issues.

Good location, fast communication, cool pool, and suitable for a family of four. The dishwasher didn't really work and there was no mattress topper on the sleeper sofa so it was a little uncomfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Overall all pretty nice
Some dishes weren’t clean and bed sheets had a mildew scent but other than that, it was very nice. The description makes it seem closer to the ocean than it is, (it’s a couple streets from beach access), but that wasn’t a problem for us.

Cute and convenient location
Property was as pictured. Beach is a block away but you dont have a view of the beach, which really doesnt matter when you're that close. Pool is very clean. From the balcony you have a view of the pool. This property definitely would be a challenge to someone who has trouble with steps. I would recommend a fold up step stool to help short people, like myself, to reach the dishes as the cabinets are high. I had to climb a chair to reach them.

Why they chose this property

You will not be disappointed staying in our vacation home. We purchased the property in 2012 fulfilling a life long dream of having 'a place at the beach'. We completely redecorated it to give it that soothing, open 'beachy' feel, because when we come down, we want to feel like we're at the beach, not a generic condo with a few shells laying around! We use it as much as we can and want you to feel like a guest in our home, not a renter in a condo.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the relaxed and less-crowded area of the 'North Side'. This area is great for 'getting away from it all' and still have many activities to choose from. Carolina Beach has a wide variety of activities for kids, families and adults. Enjoy the beach, walk on the pier, take a dinner cruise, have fun at outdoor concerts and movies, as well as the famous Carolina Beach Boardwalk and Amusement Park. Do as much or as little as you like in this peaceful setting. It's all up to you!
