About Nikki and Kevin Carlson

My family relocated from Pennsylvania to North Carolina in 2009 and prior to that, we were faithful Outer Banks visitors. That is, until we took a day trip to the closest beach to Raleigh. We had never heard of Carolina Beach but decided to give it a try and from that day on, it was our happy place. It reminds me of the small town outside of Pittsburgh where we moved from, except with a beautiful beach, boardwalk and pier instead of the Monongahela river and yellow bridge! We love the southern flare, the locals, the food and festivities, as well as the newly remodeled boardwalk, nightlife, fishing pier, and the drive-on beach. When we couldn't find a last minute rental, we'd just pop a tent and camp out overnight at Freeman Park. After several years of visiting, we decided it was time to find a place of our own and when this little gem showed up on the market, we couldn't resist. One of the best decisions we ever made! We look forward to sharing our happy place with people who may be visiting for the first time (like us back then), as well as those who visit often and love it (like us now)!

Nikki and Kevin Carlson purchased this Condo in 2017

Why Nikki and Kevin Carlson chose Carolina Beach

What we love about this property is the location and the view. It sits at the northern end of town, and rather than facing either the ocean or the street like most condo buildings, it faces south...allowing for panoramic views of the ocean, the canal, and basically the entire town! It is close enough to everything, but far away enough that you can actually hear the waves at night when you sit on the balcony.

What makes this Condo unique

Skip the pitstop to the big chain coffee shops as you pass through Wilmington on your way to the beach because CB gives you 5 locally owned coffee shops to choose from. Want a "Friends" style coffee shop experience? Check out Majik Beanz. Want to try some creatively crazy good donuts with your latte? Visit Wake-n-Bake (next to the Food Lion). Feel like staying closer to "home" or maybe even walking for your morning coffee and breakfast? Then the North End Café (as mentioned above) is your place. You'll have too many restaurants of many cuisines to choose from! Also on the island, you will find some chain stores and fast food joints (such as CVS, Walgreens, Dollar General (the largest DG this side of I-95 in our opinion), Subway, Jimmy Johns, McDonalds, 2 grocery stores (Food Lion and a brand new Publix) just to name a few. If you're in need of health and wellness services, there is an urgent care facility, and a few massage & hair/nail salons on the island. Although we love Wilmington, there really is no need to go back OTB (over the bridge) once you've arrived in Carolina Beach! Some "must-try," "must-do" or "must see before you leave" places to check out before you head back OTB are Britt's Famous Donuts (established 1939), the Fat Pelican (voted #1 Dive bar in NC and #25 in the nation), Fort Fisher, the NC Aquarium, and definitely the ferry boat to Southport! Thank you so much for taking the time to read through this description.
