Steps to the Beach:Oceanfront - Pools - Prime Spot

Welcome to your oceanfront vacation rental in Carolina Beach! Escape to this first-floor space where the beach is just steps outside your door. Lose yourself in the views of the Atlantic Ocean, where you can start each morning with coffee to the sound of crashing waves while looking for dolphins swimming in the water. It is a great space for your entire family – including your four-legged friend!

Property Highlights:

• Spacious Accommodation: The primary bedroom features a king sized bed, while the second bedroom is outfitted with a convenient queen-over-queen bunk bed, comfortably accommodating family and friends.
• Fully Equipped Kitchen: Whip up delicious meals or bring home your fresh catch and prep a seafood delight in a kitchen stocked with all the essentials.
• Linens Included: Enjoy the convenience of having bed linens, towels, face cloths, and wash clothes provided.
• Dog-friendly: Bring your pup along to enjoy the vacation!
• Swimming: Access 2 community pools during your stay. (Open early April until October)
• Parking: 2 community parking passes provided.

Extras to Love:

• We've got you covered with all the fun stuff—like sand toys, coloring books, beach chairs and body boards.
• Close proximity to local attractions, dining and entertainment.

Whether you’re seeking a romantic retreat, a family vacation, or a weekend getaway with friends, this oceanfront property is the perfect spot to relax and recharge. Wake up to the sound of the waves, relax on the sandy beach just steps away, and create unforgettable memories at Carolina Beach – with your pup in tow!

WHERE YOU'LL FIND US

We've traveled up and down the North Carolina coast, and we haven't found a town we love more than Carolina Beach. At our condo, all the best spots are within easy reach. Plus, with access to two community pools, you can take a break from the sand and surf to practice your backstroke.

Of course there's the beach just outside your door, but within walking distance there's also Freeman Park for bonfires on the beach, Carolina Beach Fishing Pier, and a quaint downtown with plenty of places to shop or grab a bite. Don't leave without trying a Britt's donut!

Hop in your car (2 parking passes per condo) and drive just a few minutes to Carolina Beach State Park to walk down the Venus flytrap trail, see sea life up close at North Carolina Aquarium, or take a local tour to Shark Island.

Always a great stay!
There is very little that I need to say if I tell you that this is the second time we have stayed at this place and are booking it next year. The location, the dog friendliness, and the responsiveness of the owners personally and the company when need was spot on as last year. For a family of 3 with 2 dogs, you can't beat this place and the people who own it.

You can’t beat the view from this condo! You are literally steps away from the beach. The deck has plenty of seating to accommodate everyone. The living room has 2 comfortable sofas and the beds were comfy as well. We did a lot of cooking and appreciated the well stocked kitchen. Just one thing to be aware of is that the parking is a tight fit for a full sized truck. We had a fabulous Thanksgiving!

Great location and beautiful view
Great location and beautiful view from the balcony. The biggest downfall for us was that there was no faucet at the building to clean the sand off, you had to walk across the street by the pool. Also, shortly after we arrived, there was a lot of dog hair in bunches coming out from under the couch and that was disappointing.

All 4 of us (parents, 10 yr son, and dog) felt right at home. Clean, well-appointed, great location, responsive and thoughtful owners. Our son found a great white shark tooth during our first walk on the beach, and we all loved watching the dolphins from the porch each morning. We will come back!

Nice place, beautiful view, not the best for dogs
We were very impressed with the condo itself! Loves: View of the ocean from the balcony, being steps to the beach, rain style shower heads (soooo nice!) Not so loves: We had pretty bad weather all week (nothing you can do about that), but the biggest frustration was having our dogs there because there’s really no good place to walk them so that was stressful. Overall, I think it’s a wonderful place to be for people, just not so much for the pups! Greg and Laura were very responsive and kind to allow a late checkout since our last day was by far the best weather day, and the condo management company was extremely quick to respond to a problem we had and very friendly! 🙂

Great place, great location!
The property was very clean when we arrived and had obviously been sanitized and well cared for, especially during Covid times. The kitchen was well stocked with a ton of cooking equipment. Managed to make scones, wings, and other great meals with all necessary pots, pans, and materials available. The unit is small and cozy but sits literally on the beach. Feels like you are on a boat sometimes when the tide is high.

A Fun Little Home Away From Home Oasis
The minute we walked into this unit it smelled "clean" and it was. We were welcomed with a delicious bottle of wine as well. We loved that all the towels were wrapped in plastic giving us an added sense of cleanliness. The whole check-in and check-out process was well instructed and made the whole experience much easier. The unit was well equipped with all the essentials one would need. Sitting on the balcony was the highlight of the unit and we did see dolphins on our last day there. We would definitely return to this lovely unit with a beautiful view of the ocean.

Over all nice.
The construction on the huge pipe out front ruined the ocean view. And the oven blew a fuse every time we tried to use it. Other than that it was nice and clean. We only got 1 trash bag. So bring your own.
