We booked our stay well in advance and timed it perfectly at the end of the busy season. The town itself is super cute, and having dedicated parking was a big plus. The view was exactly as pictured—beautiful and relaxing. The property was well-stocked with everything we needed, which made it easy to settle in without overpacking. While we couldn’t get the internet to work, it wasn’t a priority for us and didn’t impact our experience. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay!

About the host

Hosted by Ben Bradley

Host profile image
Hello! We're Ben and Shannon Bradley, and we're thrilled to be your hosts. We want you to feel at home in our home! So, here's a bit about us to help set a casual tone for your stay:

Ben loves coffee, CrossFit, SCUBA diving, mountain biking, and anything that will spark a good adrenaline rush.

Shannon loves s'mores, yoga, therapeutic massage, boating, and anything that will put her in a state of relaxation.

While we may appear to be an example of the ages-old saying "opposites attract", our strongest loves are shared: going on adventures with our children, sharing a laugh with friends and family, traveling the world, and relaxing at the beach!

Sea Drift 202 is our vacation home, and it holds a special place in our hearts. We're thankful that you chose to stay here, and are happy to share it with you. Have a wonderful time!

Why they chose this property

Our first family vacation with our young boys was to Carolina Beach. We have fond memories of the boardwalk, Ferris wheel and rides, and the town's firework display. Our family has since enjoyed returning to the beach for all the classic beach and boardwalk activities.

What makes this property unique

Carolina Beach has something to offer everyone. Breweries & disc golf, boardwalks & shopping, restaurants & cocktails, scuba diving & other water activities, relaxing spas, and more. Everything you could want on a vacation is close by. We fell in love with the location of this condo because it is a very short walk (even with kids) to the boardwalk and beach access.
