About this property

Surf retreat 1 block from the beach near Boardwalk

Our 2nd-floor condo is located across from Carolina Beach Lake Park, 1 block away from the beach access and a short walk to downtown and the boardwalk. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms give you enough room for the whole family. Enjoy the breeze on the large porch with two sitting areas, walk to the Veggie Wagon or Crush and Grind to grab a coffee in the morning, or get a beer from the Fat Pelican at night. When you stay at The Landing, you’re steps away from everything the island has to offer! Our surf inspired retreat has an open floor plan that connects the kitchen to the living room to the outdoor porch. Get the entire family together and spread out on the massive couch, chill in one of the 3 bedrooms, or have a family dinner in the dining room. LIVING ROOM The large living room is attached to the kitchen and provides seating for everyone. Watch tv or log into Netflix or Hulu and keep streaming your favorite shows. DINING ROOM Enjoy dinners at the dining table surrounded by our fun palm wallpaper and look out the large bay window. With 6 existing seats, we have additional chairs around the condo that can be added to provide more room if needed. KITCHEN We love to cook when we're at the condo, so the kitchen comes fully stocked with pots, pans, baking sheets, and all essential tools. You'll have access to coffee makers (drip or french press) and an electric kettle. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, stove, and refrigerator with ice maker. We provide some Public Goods dishwasher detergent to get you started. BEDROOMS There are three bedrooms in the condo, all with closets to store your clothes while you are here. Each room also has extra linens in each closet. The main bedroom has a bathroom attached. BATHROOMS We have two bathrooms with a shower tub. One bathroom is connected to the main bedroom. Both are stocked with towels and washcloths, plus soap, body soap, shampoo, and conditioner by Public Goods. LAUNDRY We have a washer and dryer in case you would like to do laundry. Don’t worry, we also have some Public Goods laundry detergent to get you started. PORCH The condo has a very large porch that runs across the front of the unit. We have a nice bench sitting area and a small dining table for 4. The breeze off the ocean is perfect on those summer evenings. Guests will be provided a unique code for access at the time of booking. If a code is not received, please reach out to hosts for more information. You'll have everything you need to access the condo on your own. Feel free to message in the app if there is anything you need. In case of emergency we will provide a phone number, but otherwise we won't intrude on your vacation. Carolina Beach still holds onto vibes of a beach era gone by. Head down to the boardwalk for a bite to eat, some of our favorites are Nauti Dog, Nollies Tacos and SeaWitch Cafe and Tiki bar and don't forget about Britt's donuts! And that is just near the boardwalk. There are plenty of great options all along the beach. Another hidden gem is Good Hops, the only brewery on the island, where you can sip some great beer and try your luck at the frisbee golf course that weaves around the brewery! You'll quickly realize you can relax as much as you want, or fill each hour with something exciting. Food and drink Nollies Tacos SeaWitch Cafe and Tiki bar Michaels seafood Nauti Dog Britts doughnuts The Fat Pelican Veggie Wagon Activities Carolina Beach Lake Park Good Hops Brewery and frisbee golf Grocery Publix Food Lion Liquor store You can easily walk to almost everything Carolina Beach has to offer. You are next door to Hang Ten, which has good burgers and beers. Walk about 10 minutes into the heart of the Boardwalk where you’ll find numerous restaurants, bars, and shops (including ice cream!). **THINGS TO KNOW** AGE REQUIREMENT This is also in our rules, but we get a lot of questions about this. We currently require our renters to be 25 years of age. PETS Also in our rules, but sadly we do not allow your furry friends at our condo. ACCESSIBILITY The condo is on the first floor, but it is 1 story above the ground on stilts. There is an elevator in the building for accessibility. COMMON AREA There is a shower and hose to rinse off on the East side of the building entry. Please use this before you enter the building when coming from the beach. There are no grills on the property and we ask that you do not grill under the building or on the porch as these are fire safety concerns. PARKING We guarantee TWO parking places. The unit has two designated parking spaces at the end of the parking lot. While there is a large garage, we have found it very difficult to get cars in and out and do not recommend parking in the garage. If you park in someone else’s designated space, you will be towed. CONNECTIVITY We have high-speed WIFI capable of WFH (we do it all the time!). GARAGE We provide 8 beach chairs, umbrella, and wagon for complementary use. We encourage you to leave your other beach gear in the garage when you are not using it.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Wonderful Family Get Away

We enjoyed out stay so much! The space was clean and the perfect amount of space for our family of 6! The walk to the beach was easy, even with toddlers, and the owners thought of all the things to make our stay and packing process easy- with a pack n play, 2 wagons for beach use, sand toys, beach chairs and umbrellas. The check in check out process was easy and I would highly recommend! Hoping to come again!

A wonderful getaway

My family and I had the best time staying here! The condo is two blocks from the beach, and the supplies that are included with the house (chairs, towels, wagon) made beach trips so easy! All the facilities here were clean and nice, but perhaps the best part was the on-site laundry. That really helped us! I recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Perfect home base steps from the beach

We really enjoyed our stay here! It was very spacious and comfortable for 5 adults and you can’t beat the convenient location for the beach and nearby activities. All the amenities were clean and accommodating, and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of cups, plates, silverware, etc. Would have loved to have a toaster and some more cleaning supplies on hand but all in all we have no complaints! Owners were very responsive and attentive to my questions.

Spacious Condo with a Great Location

This place was wonderful. I can barely even call it a condo, it was bigger than most stand alone houses we've rented by the beach! Location was perfect: we walked to the beach, the lake park, and the ice cream and coffee shops in less than 2 minutes and were walked to the main street and boardwalk in 5 minutes. The place felt brand new and with all the space, was perfect for our us, our kids, and our parents to have room to spread out and relax after a busy day out.

Perfect beach spot for friends & family alike

A block from the beach, less than a block from ice cream and hang ten grill, and the perfect space inside! This was the perfect location for two adult couples and a toddler (and honestly there was space for more to join comfortably)-very well decorated, comfy couches, beds, and pillows, huge living room TV and a porch where you can hang out and hear the live music from hang 10 grill right nearby. I loved that towels and linens were included, beach chairs and a wagon were available for us to use, and the owner responded so quickly when I had a question. Other pros include a blackout curtain for the kids room, 2 pack and plays, plenty of porch seating, and an elevator for access if stairs aren't your thing.
