About this property
~Updated~ Top Floor Oceanfront Penthouse - Pool, Large Deck, Stunning Views!!
**If you need more space, check out this new listing: https://www.vrbo.com/4733206**
**Minimal fees & linens provided!
Located just south of the Carolina Beach Boardwalk and a short stroll from the famous Ocean Grill Tiki Bar and Carolina Beach Greenway, this two bedroom, two bathroom condo in the Salty Hammocks complex is in the perfect location to relax and unwind.
Nearly everything in this unit is brand new and you can see the ocean from almost every room!! The view from the main living space is literally floor to ceiling with the oversized 3 pane sliding door connecting you to the ocean. The main bedroom suite has beautiful feature wall with a stunning king size platform bed and adjoining full bathroom complete with tub and shower. The second bedroom has an adult size/adult rated full over full bunk arrangement with its own balcony on the west side of the unit. It also features a twin size trundle bed for additional sleeping arrangements for children.
Since it is so close to the water and on the 3rd floor, the ocean is literally all you can see through the front windows making you feel like you are one with the sea. The stove faces the beach so you can watch the waves while you cook. The ocean facing deck is larger than most condos and it is covered which is a rare find for top floor units. This is crucial after a hot day on the beach or when it is raining and you still want to sit outside and gaze into the horizon.
The kitchen boasts ample counter space, stainless appliances, Keurig coffee maker and seating for 9. A third private balcony off the kitchen lets in more natural light. The kitchen opens up to the main living space so you are never far away from family and friends. The sofa in the main living space pulls out to a queen size bed to offer more sleeping options.
The unit is well stocked with plenty of extras including beach gear (beach cart, 6 adult chairs, kids chairs, umbrella, tent, body boards, paddle ball and bocce ball), Home Mini for music/questions/weather, smart TVs in every room, white noise machines in both bedrooms, charging station for phones/ipads, Tiki Ring Toss game, books, puzzles, board games, toys, coloring supplies and more! We also provide Spectrum TV Select Signature streaming service (150+ channels) & Entertainment View (70 channels) & high speed 1Gbps internet. All TVs have built in Roku so you can login to your own streaming services as well.
If you are looking for a Palm Retreat to enjoy a fun and relaxing vacation, you have found it here!

Excellent location and great amenities for guests. The host was very accessible and wanted to insure we had everything needed. Just steps to the beach. Will look at other opportunities to stay at this location. Thank you.

Thank you Jeanette! It was a pleasure hosting you and we welcome you back anytime.
A great place to get away--the views are amazing and being right on the beach (like right there!) is exactly what we wanted for our trip. It's a perfect location as well--close to lots of shops and places to eat in Carolina Beach but an easy drive into Wilmington if you need to head that way. We had a wonderful stay and kind of fell in love with the whole area (it was our first visit)!

Thank you for choosing our place Tim! We are so glad you enjoyed the view and proximity to everything. Come back anytime!
The condo was charming. The deck and view made this unit a standout from other rentals. The check in and check out instructions were clear and easy to follow. Would recommend
We spent a quiet October week here. The view from the balcony was just what we were looking for and the beach access (and solitude) couldn’t have been better. Proximity to the restaurants and shops in town, or in Wilmington, was very convenient.

Thank you for the review Michael! Glad you enjoyed the view and the privacy. The way it is setup you really feel like you don't have any neighbors. That is one of the unique features of this property. Come back soon!
Our stay was amazing!! The hosts go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. So clean and well kept!! The location is ideal with lots to do in walking distance as well as a short car ride. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to go back again!

Thank you so much Polly! It was a pleasure hosting you!
The property was communicated perfectly. Private but central. Clear and easy check in. Very much appreciate bedding, towels and beach accessories offered. Modern and clean. I would stay here again. Easy drive from Raleigh!

Thank you Kim! Glad you appreciated the decor and extras we provide. It was a pleasure hosting you!
Bright and airy top floor condo with wonderful covered deck overlooking the ocean. I could have sat there sipping coffee and beer all week! Other condos in this building do not have a COVERED deck which is essential in staying cool. Owners were very communicative and responsive. I would stay here again and again.

About the host
Hosted by Danielle & Chad Weeks
Danielle and Chad live in Raleigh, NC with their two daughters Aubree and Haven. Avid beach lovers, they always dreamed of having a place on the coast where they could enjoy family time away from their busy lives in the city. There is nothing better than a beautiful ocean view and toes in the sand surrounded by the people you love the most. We hope you enjoy this slice of paradise.
Why they chose this property
Carolina Beach is a great family friendly beach suitable for small children with its extended shallow wave break zone. It is also attractive to surfers due to moderate swells that occur a bit further out. With close proximity to Wilmington, upscale shopping, dining, and historic tours are only 20 minutes away. Locally, Carolina Beach offers Freeman Park where you can drive your 4-wheel drive vehicle onto the beach. Kure Beach is close by as well with more dining options. Masonboro Island is close by for shell seekers. Fort Fisher is only 10 minutes away - where you can go to the NC Aquarium and the historic battlegrounds. The North Pier is walking distance and a bike lane is available on street side. The Boardwalk and Britt's donuts are located approximately 1 mile from this home. Carolina Beach has unique shops, great restaurants, and local scuba diving, jet ski rentals, surfing lessons and fishing tours.
What makes this property unique
This condo is located on the third floor which is the top floor of the building. There is minimal noise from others in the complex as well as spectacular views of the ocean. The private pool and private beach access are right beside the staircase to this unit. The property has 3 decks with big sliding glass doors (1 on front, 2 on back). Not only does this offer multiple outdoor hang out options but it lets in tons of light and provides views of both sunrise and sunset.
