About this property

Coastal Cozy Condo: Pet Friendly! Steps to Beach, Perfect for Relaxing Getaways!

Welcome to your updated beach getaway! Just 100 steps from the sand! This cozy 1BR/1BA beach condo is your perfect coastal escape. Comfortably sleeps 4. Enjoy ocean glimpses from your private balcony with charming string lights. Features a fully equipped kitchen, in-unit laundry, and access to two community pools. Ideal for couples or small families looking for a relaxing beach getaway.

This peaceful third-floor condo at the Sunskipper complex offers a bright, airy atmosphere designed for relaxation. We have recently upgraded the living space to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible, including a new, high-quality queen sofa bed and a larger smart TV in the bedroom for late-night movies.

Whether you are sipping morning coffee on the private balcony or heading out to watch the waves crash against the sand, this retreat provides everything you need for a memorable stay at the beach.

Your retreat includes:

➤ A fully equipped kitchen for preparing beachside meals.
➤ Two Roku Smart TVs, including a newly upgraded large screen in the bedroom.
➤ Brand-new, comfortable queen sofa bed in the living area.
➤ Private bedroom with a serene queen bed.
➤ Convenient in-unit washer and dryer.
➤ Essential beach gear: chairs, towels, and boogie boards.
➤ A Pack n’ play for our younger guests.
➤ Access to two community pools (seasonal).
➤ Unassigned parking for your convenience.

Local Highlights:

➤ Beach Access: You are just 100 steps from the Salt Marsh public beach access, making it easy to go back and forth throughout the day.

➤ Freeman Park: Located just a few blocks away at the north end, this is one of the few places in NC where you can drive your 4x4 right onto the sand. It is perfect for a more secluded beach day, camping, or shelling.

➤ Fishing: This area is a haven for anglers. Enjoy excellent surf fishing at the north end or near the Carolina Beach Inlet.

➤ Natural Beauty: The north end offers a quieter, more rugged environment compared to the main boardwalk area, perfect for long walks and bird watching.

➤ Boardwalk Fun: When you want a bit of excitement, the classic Carolina Beach Boardwalk—home to famous donuts and amusement rides—is just 1.5 miles away.

We had a lovely time! Nothing fancy, but all we wanted. Clean and great communication from the hostess. She even returned the pet fee when we changed plans and decided not to bring a pet.It's a short walk to the beach (which you can see from the balcony), and was fine with little kids. We loved the pool- although we only found one!

End of Summer trip

Condo was exactly as described, very comfy and clean. Bed was comfortable and I loved the soft sheets! Location couldn’t have been more perfect for us, as we came to enjoy Freeman Park (entry to Freeman Park literally straight down the street). We had a great trip!

Great pet-friendly getaway

Cute little condo, had everything we needed for a few days at the beach. Great communication with host, and location was excellent! The only downside was that we couldn’t get the wifi to connect, but our cell phones worked so we managed just fine.

Vacay w/ Debby!

Thank you so much for allowing us to check in early ahead of Debby rolling in. We had a great time and loved how close we were to walk on the beach. The only con I would say was the pullout couch not being comfortable, but other than that, loved it!

Enjoyed Every Minute

We had an amazing stay. There was great food to eat all around. The home was nicely decorated and had inviting neighborhood. We noticed slight mold around the shower curtain and both was very congested after the stay we thought maybe the hvac system. Would definitely stay again and the owners were very thoughtful.

I’m so sorry about the shower curtain. We went ahead and replaced it. We do have the hvac serviced/cleaned 2 times a year. This last month has been so humid so we’ll need to look into cleaning sooner. Thanks. Hope to see you soon.

Weekend getaway

Perfect for a quick weekend getaway! The building itself is not easily marked, and finding where the units in the building are took a minute but overall, we loved it and will definitely be back. SUPER CLEAN, close to the beach and close to the main pier. It should be noted that the unit is on the 3rd floor so it is several floors up, no elevator, stairs only, so pack light.

Perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay here this week! The condo was very clean when we arrived and had plenty of towels and toilet paper stocked. The location was perfect, just a few steps to the beach which was great for a toddler (plus no having to get in the car and get sand everywhere). Robin was very responsive and great to work with. Even though it was a condo we never heard anything from our neighbors which I figured we would but nope! Would totally stay here again in the future.

1 block to the beach!

Be prepared for a workout, as the condo is 3rd floor. The place was clean, although a few things could use repair - normal for a rental I suppose. I liked the layout of the condo. Great location if you want to spend time on the beach!! Quick responses from the property manager. Enjoyed my stay there, would stay again.

Kudos for conquering the 3rd-floor climb! We're so glad you enjoyed the condo's layout and location. Thanks for letting us know that we need to schedule some time to make some repairs. We will make sure to get that taken care of so future guests can experience the space at its best. Thanks for the great review, and we hope to see you again!

Sweet Spot

Quaint condo just right for the 2 of us and our dogs. Everything we needed, well maintained. A short block to the sand so it’s perfect for scoring a great beach spot for the day. The process from A-Z was easy and well handled… Our host was timely and responsive in communication and assistance and we enjoyed working with her. Lovable small beach town with yummy restaurants, cute beachy shops and friendly people…great “throw back” beach vibe. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
