We have stayed at this condo several times. It is a beautiful, well maintained condo with an amazing large covered deck and is equipped with everything you need while away from home. The hosts are wonderful to work with and respond to any questions or concerns in a timely manner. The condo is close to restaurants and a very short walk to the beach. I highly recommend this condo if your destination is the Carolina Beach arae.

Our favorite place was the deck with an unobstructed view of beach. The deck was like an extension of the condo with carpeting and lounge furniture as well as a dining table. It was just like the photo. We enjoyed an evening on the deck with the moon shimmering on the ocean. Decor is very beachy, cheerful and clean. We would definitely plan another vacation here.

We spent 5 wonderful days at the beach. The weather did not always cooperate, but that was ok, because the deck was very comfortable and expansive. We did not to spend time on the beach, just more time out on the deck. The condo was very clean and relaxing. The bed was comfortable. We ate dinners out and made a lite breakfast in the kitchen. We would definitely come!back!!

Great upgrades & deck

We had a great 5 day stay here. The upgrades to the condo are really nice, and the deck is huge, well furnished and a terrific place to hang out when you don’t want to be on the beach. Michael and Michelle are top notch hosts. Carolina Beach is fun and low key with lots of great dining options. This is a great rental.

Perfect for our family !

Couldn't have asked for a better stay. The condo was very clean, and so close to the beach. First floor is just up a handful of steps, so it was easy to move in and out, easy parking. Storage locker for beach items was so helpful to store our things. There is a wagon and small shade tent, plus chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, a little of everything you could want. We hit the beach every day and pool also. It was cleaned each morning. Everyone slept great in the beds, including the trundle. A week to cherish for sure, thank you.

Perfect getaway

The place was super convenient. We like coming to the beach during the off-season because there’s fewer people. We chose this location because of the deck facing the ocean. It’s massive and a really great place to hang out. We spent most of our time out there. Seeing the sunrise each morning from that deck was really amazing. Highly recommend this place.

Beautiful ocean views

We spent the weekend here. Absolutely loved the property. Can see the ocean from living room and master. Left the AC off and doors open with screens to hear the ocean. Can walk right downstairs to the beach which was amazing! Clean and definitely upgraded. Attention to detail was spot on! We would 100% stay at this property again.

About the host

Hosted by Michael & Michele

Host profile image
My husband and I love the Beach. This is our getaway beach front home that provides the relaxation and comfort -that get's us away from it all! Every year we upgrade the condo making it better and better each year. We listen to the many guests that have stayed here year after year and upgrade to their expectations. Like most of our guests, we spend most of the time on the "huge deck" - very unique in Carolina Beach. Their we can see the dolphins (if we are fortunate), enjoy our morning coffee/bfast and wine/dinner in the evenings. Also, unique is that we have a 2nd deck off the guest room that is directly over the full size pool area. Great if you have children/grand children as you can watch them from the condo. We hope you enjoy the condo as much as we do and our many returning guests each year!

Why they chose this property

This condo has it all! Beach Front, Huge Deck (very few have a deck this size) - Almost another living area in size! Full size Pool. Most condos only have "small wading pools". The sunrise views are truly amazing. Large Beautiful Beach with lifeguard stand on beach just outside our building (added safety).

What makes this property unique

Unique Benefits this Condo Offers that Most condos do not have:

1) Over-sized Huge Ocean Front Deck (Covered so you can go out even if it rains)
2) 2nd Deck over the Pool Area
3)Full sized Pool. (most complexes only have wading pool or less)
4) Outdoor Shower below unit for rinsing off.
5)Updated New Kitchen, Bathrooms,.......(New interior vs. old (many))
6) First Floor (not many steps) with Amazing Beach/Ocean View.
7) Lifeguard Stand on beach, directly in front of building (Added Safety)
8) Modern fire protection system that includes fireproofed fire resistant sheet-rock underneath building, heat detection system, temporal fire alarm signals/sounds and smoke detectors in each condo unit. (Most complexes don't have this added protection).
9)Location - Large Sandy Beach, Quiet, Family Friendly but close enough to walk to restaurants, tiki bar, CB board walk, Bike or walk the new Green-way just down street, hike the 3 mile loop at the state park on the island.
