The hotness very responsive and accommodating, she communicated well. A view that can’t be beat, with a large deck to enjoy the view. Decorations were on point. Wonderful location to all the restaurants etc.
Great place to stay on the ocean with beach access right in front of the condo. We enjoyed the beautiful ocean view from the porch. The unit is well decorated and supplied with everything we needed, Alana was a great and helpful host. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a lovely time at this condo. The view was perfect and the decor was beautiful. The host even had a small Christmas tree for us to enjoy! We loved the proximity to the boardwalk and all the great restaurants around.
This place was even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. Stunning views and easy access to everything. The decor was adorable and our hostess Alana was very sweet and responsive. I was fortunate to experience 74 degrees and sunshine in early January to celebrate my 60th birthday here. I definitely can’t wait to come back.
View and location are absolutely spectacular. We went in the off season when there was little to no foot traffic which made it all the more better. I shaved a star off as I feel there could be improvements. Kitchen sponges were questionably old, the kitchen broom and dust collector had a layer of grease on it. Door hinges in the condo, especially the bathroom doors, were heavily coated in rust. Master bath hand soap looked like it was easily over a year old and constantly filled with water.The actual condo is beautiful, but I believe if it had a true deep clean it would be phenomenal. Alana is a great host.
Great place to stay close to everything. Don’t worry about the parking it’s really never an issue. Great view!

About the host
Hosted by Alana McArthur
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!
