The place is very tastefully decorated….they even had a small Xmas tree up for the holidays! The beds are comfortable as well as the couches/pillows/blankets in the living room. The view is the best part of the entire experience…seeing and hearing the ocean as well as watching the sunrise is amazing.

I was blessed with some perfect weather for the first week in January, around 60 degrees during the day and 45 at night. I got to have the sliding glass doors open to hear the waves all day. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook a few meals, and the master bedroom had a large very comfortable bed. Using the first floor was very convenient for the walks with the dog. I would definitely stay here again

About the host

Hosted by Alana McArthur

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Alana! Born and raised in Raleigh, NC, I’ve been lucky to call Carolina Beach my second home for as long as I can remember. My family has always had a vacation home here, and I’ve spent countless summers enjoying the island's charm. I even had the chance to live at the beach while attending college in Wilmington, where I worked my first job as a hostess at the Carolina Beach Marriott the year it opened!

Carolina Beach holds so much nostalgia for me, and I love that my two boys (11 and 15) now get to create their own cherished memories here, just like my sister and I did growing up. I’m excited to share our family’s favorite getaway spot with you and hope you fall in love with the island as much as we have!

What makes this property unique

Our property is truly special because it’s oceanfront and one of the few on the island with an oceanfront pool, offering unbeatable views and relaxation. It’s perfectly located just an 8-10 minute walk from the iconic Carolina Beach Boardwalk and the Seawitch Café, a local favorite known for its live music and excellent food. You’ll love the convenience of being close to all the action while still enjoying the tranquility of our beachfront location!
