Great upgrades & deck

We had a great 5 day stay here. The upgrades to the condo are really nice, and the deck is huge, well furnished and a terrific place to hang out when you don’t want to be on the beach. Michael and Michelle are top notch hosts. Carolina Beach is fun and low key with lots of great dining options. This is a great rental.

Perfect for our family !

Couldn't have asked for a better stay. The condo was very clean, and so close to the beach. First floor is just up a handful of steps, so it was easy to move in and out, easy parking. Storage locker for beach items was so helpful to store our things. There is a wagon and small shade tent, plus chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, a little of everything you could want. We hit the beach every day and pool also. It was cleaned each morning. Everyone slept great in the beds, including the trundle. A week to cherish for sure, thank you.

Family Vacation/4th of July/Birthday Celebration

We had a fantastic stay at this condo! Michael and Michelle were excellent hosts. They provided our stay details a week in advance of our stay so we could be familiar with rules and check-in/check-out times prior to traveling. We also appreciated that they provided our code to access the condo way in advance. The condo was beautiful, clean and had all the incidental items you would need and the pictures of the condo are accurate to what it looks like in person! The porch was awesome as there was so much space to hang out with my family and watch the sunrises. We celebrated my birthday and the 4th of July while staying here and really had a blast! We loved how close the walk from the condo to the beach was and how we could see our spot from our porch! Also loved how close the condo was to food & fun. It was our first time coming to Carolina Beach, NC and we will definitely be back and hope to book this condo again. Thanks again.

We really enjoyed our stay! We especially loved the huge porch and when we were at the condo, spent most of our time out there. The unit was very clean and it was a great location. Nice not having to go up many stairs but still had a great view. My daughter loved borrowing the boogie board and sand toys in the closet that we had access to and the outdoor shower and pool were well maintained. We would definitely stay here again.
