Our charter boats located at the harbor in the heart of Carolina Beach offer charter fishing both (in-shore and deep-sea). The North Carolina Aquarium and Fort Fisher History Museum are just down the road at the south end of the island. The aquarium is a great family experience and has different exhibits and events on a regular basis. From the aquarium you can also access tidal marsh trails and enjoy all of the native wildlife and flora. Take a step back in time and tour the Ft. Fisher history museum and learn about the area’s history during the civil war. Over the winter there is even a live reenactment of the last battle at the fort. In the same area you will find the Ft. Fisher to Southport ferry. It is really fun to take a ride on the ferry for a day trip to historic Southport for some antiquing and lunch on the river. If you enjoy surf fishing you can access the south end of Ft. Fisher from the Ft. Fisher Recreation area by 4 wheel drives or on foot. There is also 4 wheel drive access on the north end of Carolina Beach at Freeman Park. The Carolina Beach State Park located on the west side of the island offers miles of beautiful natural hiking trails, kayaking and fishing.

Family night is Tuesday with special entertainment for the kids. At the Carolina Beach Lake (which is the closest fresh water lake to the ocean on the eastern seaboard) there is a free outdoor family movie on Sunday evening and an awesome Farmer s Market on Saturday mornings. Come for the holidays and enjoy the Island Of Lights! The lake and the boardwalk are decorated with lights and Christmas surprises with all kinds of entertainment for the kids.

Perfect Spot for a Carolina Beach getaway

The condo was nice, clean, and convenient to walk to the boardwalk and pier. My adult children and I enjoyed are stay. They loved it and will book a stay in the future. The check-in and out process was easy. The kitchen was adequate (the stove is just about an inch or two too deep so, the drawers could not open all the way because they hit the oven door.

Short walk to the ocean

We loved how close it was to the ocean . The only thing was parking every condo had 2 to 3 cars and parking spaces we only had one we had to park one of our cars 20 minutes away at Walmart there was no reason we couldn’t of parked to 2 cars in our space.

Fun Vacation

We had a great time staying at this property. The pictures and description matched the property exactly! I wish the weather had been a bit warmer but that is nothing that can be predicted ahead of time. We were able to walk to the boardwalk area for dinner, shopping and daily ice cream. Local restaurants were amazing. The beach area right out of our condo was beautiful. Hearing the waves each evening from the balcony was just the peaceful background noise I needed to read my books.

Wonderful Stay

My husband had to travel out of town during Spring Break so I decided to bring my kids to the beach myself and found this wonderful condo. My kids loved it from the second we walked in. The kitchen had plenty of pots/pans/ cooking utensils... there was even a small air fryer in one of the cabinets. The rental company was great, very easy to work with. The location was awesome, super simple to get on and off the beach. It was very clean when we got there. The beds are what you would expect in a rental. Not all that soft but I slept just fine. I like to try and keep the sand under control so I swept a lot, a new dustpan would be good. And there were plenty of plates and cups but I do wish there had been a few plastic ones for my youngest to use. But I can't even really characterize those as complaints, just suggestions. The pictures are very accurate. I would definitely stay here again. :)

Perfect Pretty Place

Think about what you want in a vacation getaway. You'd like clean beds and furniture, clean kitchen and refrigerator, plenty of towels and linen, right? This little 2 Bed, 2 Bath escape right on the beach had exactly that. Conveniently located inear restaurants, nightlife, thrift stores, grocery stores and the marina. Cannot stop bragging about "our beach house" because it became hime away from home while we were there! 5 stars!

Family Vacation

We had a great time staying in this condo on Carolina Beach. Easy, private beach access was a big plus. The condo was very accurately listed, and had new appliances in the kitchen which was nice. The only issue we had was that the floors were not super clean when we checked in, and there was sand on the floor. Overall it was a great experience and we would rent this unit again.

Overall great stay

It was our first time at Carolina beach and overall it was a great stay! The check in and out process was pretty simple. The location is great and very easy access to the beach. There a store across the street within walking distance that has good coffee and food. The place was clean and updated enough to have a nice stay. Only complaint is the living room seating was very limited. We had 4 people and it was pretty tight to all sit in the living room if we were watching tv. The parking area is pretty tight just beware. There is a parking lot close by that our friends parked at for the week that was $100 for a week parking pass. I messaged the seller before our trip to ask about additional parking but i never heard anything back but luckily it was pretty simple to find. Overall it was a good first time stay at Carolina beach.

Great Location!

The check in process was super easy, fast, and friendly! The property was as advertised. Basic and clean. You can see the ocean and beautiful sunrise and sunset from your balcony, but not the entire beach. We liked only being one floor up since there are no elevators. With two small kids and one on the way, this made frequent trips back to the condo more doable. Parking was easy at the condo for paying residents. However there were people not authorized to use the parking area using it during the day to access our private beach access. The gate to the beach access was broken and apparently this was known to the wider community. The beach itself was clean and broad. Lots of room to spread out without feeling like you are sitting right on top of others. My only real complaint which isn’t the fault of the condo owner/property manager is there is virtually no free parking anywhere in town. Getting to the heart of Carolina beach to visit the carnival (which was not operating because they didn’t have people to work it) or restaurants is almost impossible. Fortunately, we were close enough to walk everywhere we wanted to go (with .5 miles of most places). Parking was around $7 an hour and as high $14 in some places. We recommend doing your research on this before coming for sure. Overall very satisfied. My family had a wonderful last vacation as a family of 4!

Great property but the Real estate company was annoying

I loved the condo - the property was great (could have had more parking) but the real estate company was a bit annoying. We had to actually go to their office to pick up a paper parking pass. When we called them to ask about additional parking, the agent on the phone hung up on me (on purpose). No complaints about the property but if I had known it was rented through a company I may have considered a different property.

The property was at a great location right on the beach and a short distance to stores and sights. The unit could use a good deep clean, especially the kitchen. Numerous dishes were not clean and the cupboards and drawers themselves were not clean. There were even 2 dishes that looked like they were put away with no attempt to clean them at all.

Cozy

Condo was clean & cozy. Close to everything. Kitchen had everything needed to cook . I slept well in the bed. Nice sized balcony which we used a lot. Nice new walkway to the beach, very sturdy. If I have any complaints it would be to have more soap available or either a regular sized bar. (Only stayed 3 nights so maybe that’s why) We would recommend this condo. Host responded very quickly to any questions as well. The 1 minute walk to the beach was as described & was awesome to be so close. It was a nice anniversary stay. Thumbs up.

2 month get away

Love the big balcony! Unfortunately being on the first level view of the beach is limited due to the dunes. Spacious living area, nice size bedrooms. Easy check in process, only one parking spot for this location. Did utilize the open lot next door for extra parking when we had guests. Decent price for having it rented for 2 months!

Please read this current review

I was a bit hesitant about our stay given the review just three weeks prior. The previous review complained of missing light bulbs, dirty dishes and furniture, as well as both the inside and outside of the refrigerator. I called the management and was reassured that units are thoroughly cleaned and light bulbs, etc were dealt with promptly by maintenance. Upon our arrival, I couldn’t have been more pleased. While not new, the furniture was not dirty. The unit was spotless and despite being prepared with toilet paper, dish detergent, hand and bath soaps and paper towels- those were supplied for at a minimum of a few days stay. The beds were comfortable and the comforters were soft and cozy. The location is right at the beach with a private boardwalk access right there. The beach was beautiful and there were many choices for quick meals nearby, grocery and Wilmington was a short drive away. My only complaint, which is not a reflection of the unit owner, was that the interior walk up is carpeted and has an unpleasant smell in the hallway. This does not affect the unit itself. I would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Starting with the exterior, it is deteriorated, with plastering and peeling paint. The access door is terribly dirty, as well as the stairs that lead to the unit, whose door is equally dirty. The interior does not break this continuity, the dirty upholstery, the few knives and forks were stored without previously washing, that is, with food remains from the previous occupants, the refrigerator dirty outside and inside, the hallway bathroom has a support for the towels semi fallen. Light bulbs not working..... They really have an expert who manages their website, who transforms the photos of this almost mousetrap into a place that one is interested in choosing. We could say that this is all, but no, they have something magnificent, a beautiful beach that nature has given them. Good luck for it!!!!!!
