Carolina Beach 9-16 thru 9-21

Great location and view, nice property, kitchen, bedrooms, baths were as expected. Beach was beautiful and location was close to many restaurants. There were some opportunities, the electric lock is not backlit which makes it difficult to see, the livingroom furniture was extremely dated and very uncomfortable. The closet door in master was broken and off the rail, the TV's in both bedrooms did not have cable service or a source connection? Loved Carolina Beach area and will come back but don't think we will return to this unit.

A perfect beachfront getaway

we had the most wonderful stay at this beachfront condo! The location is unbeatable—just steps away from the sand, with stunning views of the ocean right from the balcony. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunset each evening was an absolute dream. The condo itself is beautifully maintained, clean, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had all the essentials for cooking, but with so many great restaurants nearby, we ended up dining out most of the time. The beds were super comfortable, and the living area was spacious and cozy, perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. The building amenities were a nice bonus, especially the pool, which was never too crowded. Plus, the parking was convenient, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape or an adventure-filled vacation, this condo is the perfect base. I can't recommend it highly enough and will definitely be returning!

I want to first start off by saying that the views were amazing. Being able to sit on the deck and watch and listen to the ocean was very relaxing. The overall cleanliness of the condo was sub par. There is a lot of surface cleaning that is done and not much deep cleaning. There were cobwebs in the corner of the glass sliding door to the balcony that have been there for quite some time. There was a layer of dust on the tv stand behind the tv, led you to believe they just wiped what was obviously visible. There is mold in the ceiling of the master bathroom and what appears to be water stains in the kitchen ceiling above the fridge. The mattress in the master bedroom was very comfortable and obviously newer. The queen mattress in the spare bedroom was like a taco. When you got in the bed it dipped in the middle. The twin mattress in the spare bedroom was so uncomfortable you could feel the springs when laying on it. The check out instructions that were sent to me were very straightforward but was contradictory to the instructions on the refrigerator, which also seemed to be outdated. There was no mention of what to do with the dishes or the dishwasher, which is probably why when we arrived the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. The location was nice and convenient to many things. As previously mentioned the views of the beach were amazing.

We had such a wonderful time at Carolina Beach staying at this particular condo. The view was great. Spent a lot of time on the porch, especially when it rained and it was lovely. The accommodations were just the right size for my husband and I and our dog. We had friends visiting from Wilmington, so there was room for them to come and have a meal with us and share some time at the beach. The owner was very attentive and was easily reached. She wanted to make sure everything was in order and we appreciated that.

Not a 5 Star

The location of this condo is great. We had read on previous reviews about the parking situation and still decided to stay. I will say that if you have children and there is an emergency, you could be blocked and couldn’t get out; a true safety issue. The kitchen frying pans are less than subpar. They all were teflon, severely scratched and a health hazard. The sliding glass doors to the deck did not lock. The heatpump went out our second night and we had to leave and search for hotel rooms( had to get 2). I had to drive our pet back home to a friend and drive back the next morning (5 hr one way) due to the situation. Alana, the host knew the unit was going bad and had one on ordered because she told me the previous guests also had to leave. She said the new unit was delivered and wanted to have it installed the next day. We were in town for a wedding so we decided to stay. The installers were in the condo the entire next day. Didn’t leave until after 5pm. No air, no privacy, using one bathroom. Was quite the experience but also understood those things happen. I asked for 2 night reimbursement for all the inconvenience. Alana agreed to one night only since it was a “24 hour event”. I did not get any reimbursement for pet fee nor did she ever ask how much our rooms were. Also, bathroom where the unit was installed extremely dirty after the installers left and screw left laying in floor.

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!
