Breath Taking!

Appropriately named ‘Serenity’, the ocean views, while relaxing on the deck, were stunning! From the moment you enter this beautifully decorated, well appointed, clean condo, you know your stay Is going to be special. The location is very convenient. With Just a short walk along the beach, you arrive at the boardwalk where there are plenty of restaurants, bars, shops and activities for children. This is a huge plus, especially during tourist season….not having to drive nor spending your vacation time trying to find limited parking. Our stay was absolutely perfect and I highly recommend ‘Serenity at Carolina Beach’! You won’t be disappointed!

Serenity at Carolina Beach

Adorable condo that is as nice as it appears in photos. Comfortably fit four adults and two children. Great location and patio with enough chairs to enjoy the ocean view. Since we flew into Wilmington it would have been nice to have beach towels included. My experience in other beach rentals have included beach towels.

Amazing family trip to Carolina Beach

This condo was perfect for our family trip to Carolina Beach! We absolutely loved the beds and living room furniture. The showers had great water pressure from a rainfall shower head or handheld shower wand. The condo was equipped with the right about of products for our weekend. We were lacking 2 towels but we texted and more towels were brought immediately to us. Condo was very comfy and on the perfect floor to view the beautiful ocean.

Very Relaxing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property's general condition - Condo is in excellent condition, very comfortable, very clean and furnished well. But coming up the stairwell at night is treacherous. There is so little lighting it is not even noticeable. You will need a flashlight of some sort to negotiate the stairwell. Underneath the complex the lighting is very good. Overall one the the nicest condos on the island! We have stayed here twice in a month and will be back.

Overall a great location and view. Close to everything you could want. Previous reviews mentioned that the beds were difficult to get out of but I would say they were honestly a bit painful to get out of too. Especially if you have guests that have limited movement. We liked the place and the communication/checkin processes were great… but probably wouldn’t stay again due to the beds/pillows.

Great apartment Terrible Management

Place was great, could have been cleaner but very good. We have stayed in Carolina Beach early in the season many years. Often we have small issues as we are first renters of the season. This was no different except response from Property Manager was ineffective. When challenged they offered a small refund as long as we agreed to not complain in public. Again great apartment but I will not rent any property with “IStay” again. Willl be contacting better business bureau in Wilmington.

Disappointed with Roaches/Cleanliness

The property has some issues ranging from exposed electrical outlets and spotty cleanliness. Crumbs in the utensil drawer were surprising. The cleanliness issue also led to a roach infestation which rendered the deck unusable in the evening as we were literally attacked by a colony of roaches. The property manager was responsive and tried to remedy the situation. We appreciated the effort however it wasn’t the experience we’d hoped for.

Great Location in Carolina Beach

The location of this property absolutely cannot be beaten. Direct beach access right next to the building and walkable to restaurants and the boardwalk. Overall the interior was nice. The kitchen was well stocked, there was plenty of seating and the beds were comfortable. The beds are beautiful but have a wooden frame that makes getting in/out a bit difficult. Something to be aware of if you have mobility issues. We weren't impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms, which had mold along the floor and water-stained glass. The ends of the ledge on the patio had rotting wood that had been covered with cardboard and duct tape. We had a plumbing issue in the kitchen that caused dirty, smelly water to back up all over the kitchen floor and into the dishwasher. There was only a small mop and the white bath towels, so we had to use our own beach towels to clean up the mess. The sink was also clogged and unusable. The property manager sent someone out within a couple of hours and he fixed the leak under the sink, but he didn't fix the clog. We reached out again and he couldn't come back until the next day. We didn't want to be without a kitchen, so we chose to purchase Draino and fix the issue ourselves. We received no apology from the management company or offer to reimburse us for the time and money we spent to resolve a simple issue that should've been fixed on the first visit. Because of how this issue was handled, I likely wouldn't stay at the property again.
