We had a great time! Super close walk to the beach and able to walk to the boardwalk with no problems. Everything was very clean and the hosts were always very responsive. We would definitely stay there again if we ever go back to Carolina Beach! We were even able to see the beach fireworks from the balcony one night which was a lovely bonus! Highly recommend

A break before school starts

We had a great time! Great location to beach access, Boardwalk, restaurants, etc. The listing for the condo was just as listed on VRBO. Next time, we may ask to use the elevator (instead of 3 flights of stairs) if elderly family members plan to visit.

Very clean comfortable home

We really enjoyed our stay! There were plenty of linens and having a washer & dryer was great! The condo was stocked well with everything we needed and labels on doors and drawers helped to easily find everything. The entrance to the beach was a very short distance from the condo, which was awesome! If we get back to Wilmington, we will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful condo and great property owners!

This unit was absolutely beautiful, with a very calming aesthetic and not over the top with beachy decor. It was just the right size for three adults and a kid, and probably could accommodate an extra adult and extra child 🙂 I messaged the property owner a couple of times with questions, and they were very quick to respond and extremely helpful. I'd like to stay here again next time I'm in Carolina Beach!
