About this property

Water Lover’s Paradise

Offering some of the best views on Carolina Beach, this top level two story condo sets on the Carolina Beach Yacht Basin. Relax with your favorite beverage on the balcony, as boats, kayaks, and paddle boards slowly pass. Don’t like to watch? Use the floating dock to fish or launch your own kayak. If the beach is more your thing, the nearest beach access is only a two minute walk.

This unit sleeps 8, so there’s room for the entire family. One of the bedrooms is on the second level for additional privacy. One bathroom has grab handles for the disabled. Assigned covered parking for two is included.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Tim & Kristen Pierce

Host profile image

My wife and I are professional 40-somethings who live in the area. We enjoy walking on the beach, boating, kayaking, and bike riding at the condo in the off-season. We are new to VRBO, although our condo was professionally managed in the past. Please bare with us as we go on the journey of hosting our own property.

Why they chose this property

The view of the yacht basin is much more interesting than the ocean. We have the most spectacular sunsets, which can be seen from our living room or balcony. Guests can fish, kayak, or walk to the beach. Freeman Park is 1/2 mile away, the boardwalk is a mile away, and Fort Fisher is a 10 minute car ride. The Carolina Beach State Park is a 5 minute car ride. The commercial elevator is perfect for carrying luggage, groceries, or the kids to our 4th floor unit.

What makes this property unique

Views of the yacht basin from the rear balcony and the beach from the front balcony make this property fun for everyone.
