Fully Upgraded for 2024! Huge Deck, Full-Size Pool, Beach Front, Linens Included

Welcome to Serenity Cove! Five Star - Fully Upgraded Accommodations for 2024! Still Dates Available in August!

BOOK NOW FOR Summer/Fall 2024! Why stay at “OLD” when you can book at “NEW”? New flooring, New Kitchen Cabinets, New Appliances, New Entertainment systems, New Bathrooms, …Can't get any closer to the Beach/Ocean! Spectacular View! This is a First Floor Luxury Direct Ocean - Beach Front Condo! Just Steps to the Beach! Wi-Fi! Linens Included. This stunning first floor condominium comes with an expansive deck with 2 sliding glass doors that lead to the living room and master bedroom with the most comfortable upgraded king-size bed. A second deck overlooking the full-size pool leads to the second bedroom, complete with a comfortable queen bed and twin trundle bed. Even though it is on first floor, it's high enough to view over the dunes and see the beach/ocean. First floor means less steps to the condo. Especially helpful when you are lugging baggage, food and beach supplies.

This condo has one of the largest oceanfront decks in Carolina Beach: Covered Deck (12' x 24') - Watch the sunrise or view the dolphins and surfers play in the sea. Most of our guests spend much of their time on the deck that has a very comfortable couch & chair, 6 high sitting captain chairs and a bar height table set to enjoy the view, dine, or play games. Even if rain, you can sit out on the deck enjoying the beach/ocean sights since it is covered. Just below the deck is an outdoor shower and in the grass area, we have a BBQ to enjoy preparing your food outside.

The Kitchen has brand new top of the line cabinets, counter tops and all is decorated in warm comfortable colors. The kitchen is equipped with everything needed to prepare your meals. The condo is also Wi-Fi Ready. You will find books & games for your added enjoyment.

Just outside the condo is the large, beautiful beach that stretches for miles. There is even a lifeguard stand right on the beach, outside our building for your added swimming safety!

Adding to the enjoyment of your stay is the charming town of Carolina Beach itself. Carolina Beach is a real, year-round community with friendly people, a wide range of restaurants, famous Britt’s Doughnuts, ice cream, frozen yogurt, coffee shops, bars and quaint beach shops of all kinds. On Thursday night in the summer there are fireworks from the beach and free family movies at the nearby lake on Sundays - check for updates on activities before and during your stay. You won’t want to miss the Boardwalk, ranked one of the top 10 boardwalks in the country by Food and Wine Magazine, with its shops and fun food as well as the Ferris wheel and carnival rides throughout the summer.

All of this, and Hang Ten Grill, Squiggles, Pops Diner, Majik Beans, Sea Merchant market, Tony's bike/surf rental, Vinny's Pizza, Granny's Kitchen, Carolina Smokehouse, Kure Beach pier/bait and gift shop, Freddie's Restaurant, Kure Beach diner, Jack Mackerel's Island Grill, Happy Hippie's coffee shop, tennis/pickleball courts and playground - all of this and more are within walking distance! A short walk from the condo is the Ocean Grill Restaurant and Tiki Bar which offers outdoor bar service and live music while overlooking the ocean.

Rent or bring your bicycle (bike rack on south side of building next to beach access path) and ride through New Green Way trail which can be accessed about ¼ mile up South Carolina Ave. Or, if you prefer hiking, head out to the wooded trails at the Carolina Beach State Park which runs along a riverbed. Either location is also great for jogging.

Visit The Carolina Beach Marina and take a sightseeing cruise or charter fishing expedition. Anglers, the fishing is great! Fish on the beach, from the pier, catch a head boat, charter a boat, or launch your own at a public launch. There are many water sports to enjoy. You can rent or bring your own equipment for snorkeling, surfing and boating adventures.

Visit the North Carolina Aquarium located at the south end of the island or take a short ferry ride to Southport for the day, where you can enjoy quaint shopping, sightseeing and wonderful local seafood dining on the water. Historic Wilmington, on the Cape Fear River only 20 minutes away, is where you'll find the USS North Carolina Battleship, ghost walks, horse drawn carriage rides, boat excursions, waterfront restaurants, antique shops, and more.

These are just a few reasons why vacationers love returning to Carolina Beach at all times of the year. For more information, please refer to the Carolina Beach website at https://www.carolinabeach.org/

Beautiful Ocean Front Property
We have stayed at this beautiful condo unit four times and will return again next year. The deck is spacious with a perfect view of the ocean and the perfect place to drink our morning coffee and have our glass of wine in the evening. The hosts are wonderful to work with and very accommodating. This is the perfect place to stay if you just want a little R&R.

Perfect Beachfront Luxury Condo for a Family Getaway
This spacious beachfront luxury condo, exceeded our expectations. The location was absolutely perfect, located right on the beach, offering stunning ocean views and easy access to the sand. This condo is ideal for families, especially for an end-of-summer getaway. The modern amenities, fully equipped kitchen, and huge balcony made it feel like a home away from home. It was the perfect balance of luxury and comfort, and we couldn’t have asked for a better spot to unwind and enjoy the last days of summer. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxing beachfront retreat!

Just what we needed
Our first stay last year was so great that we booked again this year. Two bedroom, two full baths. Very modern and adequately appointed with cookware, paper goods, and appliances. You can tell the hosts are constantly making major upgrades year after year. The location can’t be beat. Also on the first level so no climbing a bunch of stairs. The unobstructed view is everything! We lived on the porch watching the sunrise and the waves and you can wake up to the ocean view from your bed in the master. The hosts respond quickly from booking to exit. It’s the perfect size for a couple, a pair of couples or a small family. We will definitely book this location again.

Family vacation
Great vacation rental! Very clean! They have the best covered balcony with the most comfortable furniture! Beautiful ocean front views to have coffee and view the sunrise in the morning and then listen to the ocean and have drinks in the evening. The bedding was extremely comfortable. Easy keycode entry. Was concerned about parking, but since only one vehicle is allowed in the summer, we always found a spot big enough for our truck and never got blocked in. Great communication from the hosts! Would absolutely stay here again if visiting.

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.

Great condo! Great beach!
Awesome condo right on the beach. Huge outdoor deck we basically lived on. Very very clean and well appointed. Towels were fluffy. Hand soaps in both bathrooms and kitchen. Plenty of glasses dishes and silverware. TVs easy to use. It was fantastic with my grand kids. Between the outdoor shower and easy access to the beach made everything chill. Just the way a beach vacation should be. Thank you!

Wonderful property!
We thoroughly enjoyed our week. This newly remodeled condo has everything you need for a relaxing stay. All you need to bring are personal belongings and food, if you choose to cook. Cleanliness upon arrival was top notch, small appliances available along with everything needed to prepare meals in the kitchen. The large deck was such a plus! We utilized it for relaxing, eating meals, watching the sun rise and observing ocean and beach wild life. The nearby partially shaded greenway was perfection for morning runs or evening walks and terminates at a local park (a definite plus if children or grands are accompanying your party). We definitely would love to stay here again on our next trip to the area. Thank you Michael and Michele for hosting us so well!

The condo was all the pictures showed. Beach location was perfect, and I loved how there were common spices, aluminum foil and paper towels. Just needed Kleenex🙂 Michael was so kind and reachable for all my calls. Our cousins (Wilmington locals) were just as impressed as they have seen many condos. We as well as their families will be staying again. Oh and the beach closet was a true gift. Making our beach time perfect!

A Cozy Little Oasis Away From Home
This is a lovely well maintained oceanfront condo with amazing outdoor patio space. We spent much time on the patio as we listened to the many sounds of nature. It is equipped with all one needs to feel the comfort of home. The hosts were great in communicating with us in a timely manner if we needed to ask a question. This was our third consecutive year staying at this condo and have booked for next year as well. I highly recommend this condo for your next beach adventure.
