This condo was perfect in every way. Clean, well-decorated and great view of the beach! Easy access from the main highway and just a few steps away from the Boardwalk. Even though it was off-season, we found plenty of entertainment and nice restaurants. It was my first visit to Carolina Beach after having visited many other NC beaches and we will definitely go back again. This will be my first choice when I get ready to book another vacation in CB. Thank you for making our family getaway so special!

This was our second stay at this Carolina Beach condo, and this time we spent the holiday break there, and it felt like home since we had been there before! We had everything we needed for a completely stress-free vacation on the beach. Our family of 7 especially enjoyed our mornings on the ocean front balcony, where it almost felt like summer. Christmas day we all even got up early to watch the sunrise from this vantage point, which was a beautiful start to our day! Evenings were a bit chillier, but the sound of the ocean and the bright stars made bundling up worthwhile. A few perks that I want to mention are the grocery carts and luggage carts that are in the entryway as you enter the Carolina Surf building. This seems like a trivial thing, but when you're carrying in your luggage and/or groceries, this is a really significant convenience. We were able to make what would have been multiple trips up the elevator in only one, and we really found this helpful. The trash shute is also a very nice convenience. All you need to do is walk down the hallway and deposit your bags - no searching for the dumpster! Just another small thing that makes this condo special. Finally, Mel (the owner) is always easy to reach and helpful, and our only regret was that we had to leave this haven at the beach and return home to Maryland. We plan to go back again soon, though!

Great Condo - Great Location

Guest: Ocean Lover (Oklahoma)
Date of Stay: 04/30/11 Review Submitted: 05/12/11

We spent the first week in May at this exceptional condo. It is in a great location with beaches as far as you can see in both directions. There are great resturants within walking distance or at most a short drive. The condo itself is very nicely decorated and the owners did an excellent job of communicating with us. The roof top sun deck was wonderful! After almost 20 years of doing this we have learned that picking a condo from 2000 miles away is something of a coin toss. This condo is a definitely a winner. One of us could have used a hair dryer - other than that it was perfect. (And I suspect if we had asked ahead of time the owners would have made sure a hair dryer was available!)

Owner response:Great suggestion on the hairdryer! I will definitely leave one the next time there. Thanks!

Property #178988 - April 22-25, 2011

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then seeing this condo in person was worth a million. It was everything and more than we expected from the photos on your website. We enjoyed the privacy of our individual bedrooms and bathrooms as much as the cozy, inviting opportunities for togetherness at the dining table, the living room, the kitchen bar, the balcony, and even the rooftop. Unloading our vehicles was quick and easy because of the designated parking under the building close to the elevator. The luggage carts positioned there were a welcome sight. The “album” of selected menus from nearby restaurants was helpful, too. We enjoyed delivery from Bowman’s one night and highly recommend it. It was an easy walk to the pavilion where we "oldsters" indulged in Britt’s donuts and ice cream and felt like kids again. Most of all, we appreciated your kindness and professionalism throughout the reservation process. It was such a pleasure that we can’t imagine wanting to stay anywhere else, should we come back to Carolina Beach again. Thank you so very much for having us!

Spring Break magic

Guest: Cybrarygrl (Durham, NC)
Date of Stay: 04/17/11 Review Submitted: 04/24/11

What an incredible time my friends and family had for a few beautiful days during Spring Break. The location was perfect. It's close to everything! We walked to breakfast, rented bikes, explored the boardwalk area, drove down to the NC Aquarium and spent time on the beach. Our first night in the condo we experienced the most beautiful nearly full moonrise and the next night we had a gorgeous view of the full moon over the Atlantic. The condo is well stocked with utensils/pots/pans/etc. for those who like to cook in. We mixed it up with meals and ate outside on the balcony as often as we could. The decor is very beachy and I loved the turtle art that greets you upon entry. The adults really enjoyed hanging out on the rooftop deck as often as possible. A very big plus for the top floor units. Since it was chilly outside and the pool had not warmed up, the kids enjoyed playing in the warm jacuzzi tub in the master bath. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for an ocean front experience.

My family and I had a wonderful time at Carolina Beach. I had stayed at several other locations there, but your condo is by far the best. Thank you, Mel, for sharing it with us. We will certainly come back whenever possible. I discovered that October is a wonderful month to be at the beach.

GREAT CONDO, BEACH AND LOCATION

Guest: Amy (North Canton, Ohio)
Date of Stay: 07/10/10 Review Submitted: 08/05/10

This was our first experience at Carolina Beach and we loved it!!!! When we first decided to give Carolina Beach a try we had no idea where we would stay or what to expect. Searching on VRBO we found this condo and it looked like it would be wonderful for our family. Well, it was as wonderful as we expected (clean, well maintained, and exactly as the pictures indicated)! The beach was only steps away, and we were only a couple of minutes (walking) from the amusement park, shops and restaurants. What we liked best was sitting on the balcony each morning watching the sun rise over the ocean...what a beautiful location! We look forward to coming back next year!

Just got home from a wonderful vacation with my Mother. This is a great place to stay for all ages. The worst thing was that we had to leave. Wanted to stay another week. Can't wait to go back next year.

This is a great place for a family with young kids. Everything you need is within walking distance and the aquarium and battleship are also close by for rainy days. The condo is very comfortable, clean and new and comes stocked with everything you need. We definitely will be back.

Carolina Beach Condo in May

Guest: Philip (Patterson, New York)
Date of Stay: 05/08/10 Review Submitted: 06/27/10

May is at times called 'Pot Luck' Season - the weather on the beach can be great, or disappointing. Our two weeks in May could hardly have been better. The weather was pleasant and mostly sunny (the water was too cold for me, but just fine for my husband) - and the beach sandy and lovely. And the condo was exceptionally nice - striking the right balance between nicely decorated and comfortable (just right for the beach, as too formal could make a person feel they couldn't relax). And everything was clean and fresh, another essential for true relaxation. We hope to return!
