The property was easy to book. Check in details were sent well in advance and were easy to follow. Location is great if you want to be in walking distance of restaurants, ice cream, coffee bars, etc. The access to the beach was ververy easy, although it was a bit crowded.
The property was beautiful, provided everything we needed. Perfect location! Very clean! Everything functioned properly. Owners amazing response time to any questions. We will definitely be back next year. We vacation in CB yearly and love it.
The space was good for 2 adults and 2 kids. The walk to beach is 2 blocks away, which was nice. The pool is very convenient for kids and after beach. The storage unit was great. Parking was easy.
No toilet paper or paper towels are provided, which I feel should be included with all the fees. The hot water heater is to hot and should be turned down so be careful with that.
The bathrooms need a little work.
We were moving our daughter into UNCW and decided to extend our stay for a last minute vacation. Owners were flexible and very responsive. The condo was clean and well appointed. Perfect location. Walking distance to the beach and many area attractions! Condo is on the third floor which gives a beautiful view of the ocean but may not be good for anyone with mobility issues.
This was our time visiting Carolina Beach, and this condo was perfect for our family of 4. The condo was the perfect location to the boardwalk, shopping and restaurants. This was the one of the first vacations that we could actually relax and not feel like we had to constantly be on the go. The only small issue we had would be the mattress in the primary bedroom wasn't the most comfortable. We are definitely planning on return next year!!!!
It’s been almost a decade (except 2 year than Canada usa border was closed) than we’re visiting Carolina beach. Feel like a second home town for us. We love this area of the town for all the proximity of beach, restaurant, surf camp, boardwalk. driving from Canada after 17h of driving we don’t want to use the car were we want to go. The unit had everything you need and a really great storage for are surf board + I was surprised by the ocean view. We’ll sure rent again for a longer stay
We loved our stay here. We did okay having 4 younger children under the age of 12. The location is great. The walk to the beach, restaurants, and boardwalk was easy and very enjoyable. The kids loved the pool and there was usually just our family in the pool. The pull cart and chairs in the storage closet was a life saver! THANK YOU FOR THAT!!
Love this location. Convenient to the boardwalk and beach access. The ability to use the first floor storage closet is invaluable. Although we brought some of our own beach chairs and umbrellas, the owners did provide several equipment, which I found very helpful.
Would love to come back and stay again next year!
This condo was in a great location, near the beach and the boardwalk. There was a great balcony view to see the rides, ocean or to people watch. Pool was never crowded. It was nice to have a washer and dryer. We were very pleased with our stay and do not have any complaints.
Condo was perfect for my family of four. Might be a little crowded for a bigger family. Walk across the street to beautiful Carolina Beach with bathroom facilities and outdoor showers available on the access road. Walking distance to boardwalk and many restaurants. We hardly needed to use our car all week! We will be back!
The owners were great to work with and keep a clean property. This property is in a good location from the beach and things to do.

Carolina beach visit
The complex where this unit is located is in a great area, close enough to walk to many places. The listing says it sleeps 7, and we were only 5, but it was a little crowded. Bathrooms and kitchen were updated. Bedrooms need new rugs. Third floor, so prepare for going up and down a lot. Parking lot is tight.
We absolutely loved our stay at this condo! It was perfect for our family of 4! The location was great and we loved the ease of being able to walk to the boardwalk, beach and restaurants! We look forward to staying here again on our next vacation to Carolina Beach!
Very pretty and compact apartment with ocean views from the balcony. Good for small family. It is technically on the 4th floor- ground level with storage rooms and carports then 3 floors up, so- 5 flights of stairs - if you have issues with climbing stairs or little kids you need to carry- probably not for your. It is perfectly located- 5 minutes walk to the beach/boardwalk and stores.
This condo was clean and tidy and just what our small family needed. It is a super quick walk to the beach, to the Carolina Beach boardwalk/rides and other attractions like The Veggie Wagon and The Fat Pelican. The pool is also an added bonus for a family with small children whop need breaks from the beach.
The owners are super responsive and do everything they can to ensure a pleasant stay. They are genuinely concerned about your comfort and enjoyment. We would stay here again and definitely recommend it.
Condo was very clean and in an excellent location.
I didn't realize that the condo was on the 3rd floor nor had an elevator. I would have never booked the condo if I had done a better job reading the description. Also, I ordered linen service and was only provided one towel and one wash cloth per person for the entire weekend. Once I asked if the towels would be replenished I was told there was a washer/dryer just off the patio. I don't know about you, but I would rather not do laundry on my vacation but had to. The master bathroom had an extremely slow drain in the bathtub. Other than these minor issues, the location was outstanding and the condo was really pretty inside. I would not recommend it if you are someone with back or pain issues. If you are younga and can handle the stairs then it would be a good fit. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
Our first family vacation was planned for the end of July. The property manager got in contact with us the morning of letting us know that the keypad to unlock the door was not working and we would have to use keys. Which was no problem. We get into the condo and my first impression was it didn’t smell like somewhere that has been cleaned throughly. I bypassed the thought we were overwhelmed by traveling with 3 under the age of 5. We were trying to get settled unpacked and beds made. We did order the linnen service. Which they seemed new but the comforters in the rooms on the other hand didn’t seem like that were washed. Did not have a laundered smell to them. The one in the master bedroom had an orange stain on it. There was some pink circle on the cieling resembled wax. The wall closest to the bathroom was filthy. The master shower drained very slowly (as read in prior review) The vent in the living room was covered with dust. Paint was chipping by the long dresser in the master bedroom. The vent in the kitchen had grime all around it. The quarter round in the living room was falling off with nails sticking out of it. As time went on walking through the condo my impression was whoever stayed before us left in the morning and we came in that afternoon. Either the cleaning lady showed up late and rushed to get “the job done” or she didn’t really care enough to clean throughly. We are not clean freaks or germaphobes considering we planned a vacation during a pandemic however my expectations were not met in the cleanliness of the condo. We also found something that i rather not disclose but can leave it up to your imagination. The owner apologized and said he “fired the cleaning lady”. The coffee maker was also broke which the manager/owner responded quickly and brought us a new one. I read reviews prior to booking and many were to be true. During the day and into the evening the thermostat no matter what will not go below 78 one night it was 82! If you are not used to stairs and don’t want to walk 3 stories this is not the place for you. Also the bunk beds were a bit rickety. The queen Bed in the master felt like sleeping on a cement slab. Overall the only thing i liked was the location. Close to the beach. The on site pool was nice as well.
Great location - walk to beach and some restaurants too! Crosswalk just outside the door.
Only issue was with door access with code - worked sometimes, but had to use key other times.
Thanks!

About the host
Hosted by Kevin and Lisa Carter
We moved to Wilmington about 2 years ago to live the Salt Life. We both grew up in Northern Virginia and were ready for a change. We moved our little family down to Wilmington to spend more quality time together and not in rush hour traffic. To say we have fallen in love with Carolina Beach would be an understatement. We decided to buy a condo a little closer to our happy place, the ocean. Even though we live in town, we come down here all the time. We like to think of this as our own little hidden treasure. We have furnished the house with high end furniture and necessities so that you just have to pack your bags and walk in and relax. Carolina Beach has so much to offer with the beach, pool, events at the lake, cool outdoor restaurants/bars, shops, summer carnival, fireworks weekly that you have a front row seat for in the condo and so much more. We welcome you into our home and hope you enjoy the newly renovated unit with high end amenities. We are local and easy to reach if you have any questions. We look forward to booking your vacation with us this upcoming season.
