2 BR/2.5 BA beautiful, spacious waterfront Carolina Beach condo
Welcome to “Morning Dew” located in Carolina Beach on Pleasure Island - the perfect family-friendly or grown-up getaway! This spacious (1,271 Sq Feet) 2 bedroom, 2 ½ bath condo features the feel of a lake house yet located just steps to the beach. The spacious and private deck is the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or evening cocktails while watching the boats, ocean life and beautiful sunsets over the canal. The water-front location provides incredible views and access to the boat dock for fishing. A short one block walk will put your feet in the sand of the beautiful North End beach.
Comfort and beach vibes abound in this rental gem. Easy-breezy check-in with keyless entry (no keys to worry about losing at the beach) and access up 1 flight of stairs (also has an elevator). Unit is completely updated, and well-appointed. Some features include free secure Wi-Fi, 3 smart TVs, full-size washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen with oven, fridge/freezer, coffee maker, Keurig machine, toaster, pots, pans, dishes, and utensils. The unit sleeps 6 comfortably with 2 master bedrooms. The 1st bedroom has King bed, and a full bathroom with a double sink vanity. The 2nd bedroom has 1 Queen Bed, a twin bed with a pull-out twin trundle, and a full bathroom with a double sink vanity. The 2nd bedroom also has bean bag chairs for a "kid/teen sitting area". The unit also features a half bath, spacious kitchen, dining room, living room and private deck. Public beach access is 1 ½ blocks away. It is recommended that you bring beach chairs and toys, or there is a rental company that can deliver chairs\umbrellas\surfboards\etc. with drop off right at the beach access so you don't have to haul anything.
Not feeling like going to the beach? Head south down Canal Street to the charter fishing boats as well as other boats offering eco-tour, sunset or moonlight cruises. There are also many daytrip options including shopping\dining in downtown Wilmington or taking your car on the ferry to Southport. The Fort Fisher Aquarium or touring the USS North Carolina battleship are other popular activities. Hungry after a day of activities? Walk a few blocks over to the High Tide Lounge and Tiki bar for some drinks or food from the grill with great ocean views. One mile South puts you in the main entertainment strip with many popular restaurants, bars and shops on the boardwalk and surrounding area. We are happy to provide you our recommendation to satisfy any craving.
Looking for nightlife? There are many options, also on and around the boardwalk. Enjoy live music at the Lazy Pirate or Sea Witch Cafe, have an ice-cold beer at the Fat Pelican (the BEST dive bar around with a sand beach beer garden), or explore the many other bars and restaurant options. Note: Parking is limited in this part of the island and there is only one dedicated parking space for the unit. Also, this area is prone to flooding when there are heavy rain events. This may result in temporary closures of Canal Drive to vehicle traffic.
There is a dock that you are welcome to fish from or launch kayaks\SUPs. The dock may not be used for motorized boats.
We want you to have a fantastic vacation, create lasting memories and be our guest for years to come. We are just a phone call or text away should you have any issues or questions.

We loved the location and the peaceful atmosphere of the balcony overlooking the water. Great place to relax after coming off the beach. The condo was clean and comfortable for 4. Parking is not great but not a problem either. Good value for the money.

Perfect Beach Getaway!We had an absolutely amazing stay at this condo! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how clean, comfortable, and well-decorated everything was. The view was stunning — waking up and enjoying coffee on the balcony each morning was pure bliss.The condo had everything we needed, a fully stocked kitchen was great. . The location was perfect — just steps from the sand and close to great restaurants and shops.The host was responsive and made check-in super easy. We couldn't have asked for a better beach getaway and would 100% stay here again. Highly recommend!
Very nice condo and great location and a nice view of the marina.

We had a wonderful time in our condo in Carolina beach, the only problem was we weren’t there for long enough! The property was beautifully decorated, and we have everything we needed for our stay.
Thank you, we will definitely be back again!

The hosts thought of everything! It was very well appointed and comfortable. Easy walk to the beach. The highlight for us though was the view from the porch! We spent so much time enjoying the boats and the birds. Highly recommend!

The location was perfect! Very short walk to the beach which was lovely. The condo was well-stocked with everything that you would need For a short weekend. The veranda’s furniture was awesome as well as the view. Master bath shower doors Should Changed out.

Great view, cleand and comfortable accommodations and easy beach access
We really enjoyed our stay here! We had everything we needed for a lovely long weekend and the elevator was a huge plus. If I could change one thing it would be the parking situation for this unit specifically. Otherwise everything was perfect!! Thank you!!

Leah,
Thank you for your kind words! We are very happy you had such a nice time!
Yes, the parking is tight, but we feel fortunate because we have an assigned space. The other units are tandem spots and they have to move frequently.
Thanks again, please visit again and enjoy the rest of your summer!

The condo was very clean. There was a lot of room. The beds were comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great! The balcony opened out onto a very peaceful bay with some boaters. There was a good amount of comfortable seating on the balcony. It was a very short walk to the beach. We will stay here again!
