Thanks so much, Chad! We’re glad you enjoyed the location and got to make the most of having the beach and great restaurants just a short walk away, without all the hustle and bustle. And we appreciate the heads-up about the staircase! 😄 We’re sure that our taller guests would keep that in mind. We’d love to have you back for another beach getaway!

Great stay! The place was clean and well kept. Only thing to note, the stairs up to the top floor bedroom are a bit narrow on the side, so just watch your step. Everything else was awesome. Would definitely recommend for budget cautious travelers. Host is very responsive as well.

Easy check in, place was clean and just as described. There are several stairs to get to the unit and parking is tight but definitely do-able. The beach was probably a 5 minute walk to the beach and several restaurants, ice cream shop and a couple blocks to our favorite coffee shop Majik Beanz. We visit Carolina Beach every year and hopefully found our new place! Thank you!

Great Location & Sparkingly Clean Stay in CB!We had a wonderful weeklong stay in Carolina Beach! The host was fantastic to communicate with, and check-in/out was seamless. You really can’t beat the location—it’s super convenient to town, with most restaurants, shops, and activities within easy walking distance.The house was exceptionally clean when we arrived, smelled great, and had fresh linens and spotlessly clean floors, which we really appreciated.A few practical notes for future guests and a couple of quick suggestions for the host:The upper half of the indoor stairs are quite steep with a shallower tread than the bottom set, so just take your time on them.For longer stays, additional clothing storage would be helpful—adding hangers in the downstairs bedroom would be a simple fix.Extra seating in the main living space (like a small loveseat) would also make relaxing as a family a bit more comfortable in the evenings.Overall, it’s a bright, clean, conveniently located home, and we would definitely stay here again!

Perfect WFH spot

My husband and I did a getaway to North Carolina but also needed to work, and Atlantic Escape was great. Gave us enough privacy to be on the phone or in zoom meetings and excellent WiFi. The location was wonderful for walking on beach each morning and we fell in love with maLama cafe for breakfast each day. First visit to CB was perfect!

Convenient location near the beach

My wife, our small dogs, and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Carolina Beach over the Memorial Day weekend. The units are easily walkable to the beach and several good places to eat and drink. The hosts were quick to respond to our booking and questions and had our unit well stocked, clean, and ready for our arrival. Thanks to them for helping make our trip a memorable one.

Amazing!

This property was perfect, clean, modern and plenty of room for a family of 4. We enjoyed all this property had to offer. It was super close to everything we wanted to do. Boardwalk 5 minutes, beach 5 minutes, restaurants, ice cream....it was the perfect location. Simple check in and check out instructions. We will definitely be back!
