Savor your culinary creations at the dining table, surrounded by the soothing ocean views. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.

Our condo, affectionately named “Beachfront ELM,” serves as our personal sanctuary and getaway. Nestled on the 2nd floor, it offers unobstructed views of the ocean and beach from its private, covered deck. Beachfront ELM boasts an impressive 1,067 square feet (includes two decks) designed to provide comfort, relaxation, and everything you need for a wonderful family vacation or a romantic beach getaway. Our condo sleeps 5 with beds consisting of 1 king bed in the primary bedroom, 2 twin beds in the guest bedroom, and 1 chair sleeper twin size in living room.

The beach in front of our building is typically quiet and uncrowded providing a peaceful retreat. Conveniently located within a 5-10 minute walk, you’ll find shops, activities, restaurants, and the boardwalk. And the best part? Less than a 1 minute walk from the building takes you directly to the beach, where you can soak up the sun and feel the sand between your toes.

Rain or shine, you can enjoy the outdoors from the covered oceanfront deck. You will be treated to breathtaking panoramic and unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, the soothing sound of waves crashing on the beach, the playful antics of dolphins in the surf, and the stunning sunrises all come into view, creating a truly unforgettable experience. Don’t forget to bring your binoculars to get a closer look at those dolphins!

Please note: This property cannot accommodate charging of electric golf carts, low-speed vehicles, cars, or trucks.

Carolina Beach, nestled along Pleasure Island with Kure Beach and Fort Fisher, offers a plethora of excellent dining options, specialty retail shops, drug stores, full-service grocery stores, beach rentals (including bikes, linens, beach umbrellas, and beach chairs), ice cream parlors, charter cruises, the North Carolina Aquarium, the Island Greenway, Carolina Beach State Park, Carolina Beach Lake, amusement rides, and a wide range of sporting activities suitable for the entire family.

During the summer, the Boardwalk comes alive with FREE live music, beach bingo, and fireworks. On Sundays, the Carolina Beach Lake transforms into a cinema under the stars, featuring FREE movies on a large outdoor screen. Bring your chairs, snacks, and beverages to enjoy a memorable evening under the stars.

When you are ready to explore, our condo is conveniently located just a short drive away from the bustling port city of Wilmington. Here, you’ll find a vibrant shopping scene, a diverse culinary landscape, and the historic downtown district, brimming with intriguing sites and experiences. Wilmington is renowned for hosting the North Carolina Azalea Festival in April, which features live musical and theatrical performances, garden and historic home tours, outdoor activities, delectable food, and unique crafts.

Beyond Wilmington, the surrounding areas and beaches have become a sought-after destination for Hollywood film directors, serving as prime locations for movie and TV productions. You never know who you might encounter amidst the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. I’ve personally had the pleasure of meeting several Hollywood stars.

In the Fort Fisher area, you can visit the award-winning aquarium or take a ferry across the Cape Fear River to the charming town of Southport. Southport is a shopper’s paradise, offering a variety of shops and restaurants. For history enthusiasts, the recently renovated Fort Fisher Museum is a must-visit, showcasing artifacts from the American Civil War.

With its prime beachfront location, thoughtful amenities, and proximity to the area's top attractions, our beach home, Beachfront ELM, can be the perfect haven for your Carolina Beach getaway. Escape the everyday and immerse yourself in the coastal charm of this remarkable destination.

Exactly what you are looking for

This is a great place. It must have been recently updated because everything was nice, new and shiny. Nice kitchen with new appliances. The bathrooms were immaculate. Bedrooms were very comfortable. But the first thing you notice is the ocean and beach view from the living room and covered balcony. Absolutely stunning. Easy to find with great parking under the building. Short walk to the boardwalk and the restaurants and shops. I would definitely stay here again.

Another Great Stay!

This is our second stay at Beachfront Elm and won't be our last. The location is perfect: a very short walk to the boardwalk, but not in the commercial area and thick of things. The unit is spacious, clean, and extremely well stocked: I cook a lot and don't have half the items provided in this rental! The furniture is very comfortable, and the view - well, it's spectacular! The deck furniture is great - a table with four chairs plus two tall chairs. Perfect for sitting and enjoying the view and listening to the sound of waves crashing. The very nice owner checked with us to be sure we had everything we needed. This is an exceptional property :)

What a great find. This is the perfect location within steps of the beach and close to everything you need. The view from the deck is so relaxing you won’t want to leave. The beach in front of the unit is wide and not overly crowded. The condo is fully stocked with nothing left to want for. From a very well stocked kitchen including basics in the cupboard for cooking, to extension cords in the bedroom for your electronics, the host has thought of everything. The decor is tasteful and comfortable. There are detailed instructions for everything from the AC to the TV remote control so no frustration trying to figure out how to operate things. The unit was very clean and the entry procedure was seamless. The host even checked in with us to make sure we arrived and there wasn’t anything we needed. I highly recommend this unit and we’re already planning a return trip.

This is our piece of heaven, and we want to share it with you!!

Our primary goal is that you have a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stay. We invite you to read a few of the many reviews left by previous guests. 😊

This special happy place allows my husband and I relaxation and peace in a family oriented environment. I often tell him that his brain turns to jello when we cross the bridge onto the island. He agrees! (smile). My husband does tell me that I go into some sort of scary deep-cleaning voodoo trance when I arrive at our beach home. I agree, I can't help it! (smile).

We love the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, smelling the ocean air while walking on the beach...sipping a morning cup of coffee and watching the sun rise over the big Atlantic Ocean!! Watching the dolphins play in the water isn't too bad either. Love it!!

Doesn't get any better than this!! We hope you get to enjoy our beach home real soon!

Why they chose this property

Carolina Beach is a quaint town with small town amenities. The fun and activities are endless on the island and in the Wilmington area.

What makes this property unique

Oceanfront! Oceanfront! As soon as I walked into this condo, I knew this would be our “home away from home”. As soon as you walk in all you see is the Atlantic Ocean through a 9 ft. wide glass door that enhances the view allowing for a very open sense of space. The main living area (kitchen and living room) are in this space. A few steps further, walk out onto the large covered oceanfront deck, which is like another room, to enjoy completely unobstructed views and soothing sounds of the ocean. And wow, what a breath taking view!! Stepping through the glass door, you can relax and lounge on the covered deck when it's sunny, rainy, or breezy!! Doesn’t matter what the weather is. **Covered decks are a great benefit!!**

We want you to get to experience our beach “home away from home” real soon!!
