Just a block from the Carolina Beach Pier, this property offers a private pool with a beautifully landscaped courtyard.

When you want to take a break from the beach, there are many other options nearby to experience. You are only minutes away from the Fort Fisher Historical Park and Aquarium in Kure Beach. You can also take the ferry from Fort Fisher over to Southport for shopping, dining and a stroll through the quaint waterfront downtown area. Just a short drive away is the historic downtown and riverfront area of Wilmington. Here you will find cobblestone streets filled with a variety of shops and restaurants. One of the most interesting sites to visit and the pride and joy of Wilmington is the USS North Carolina - the World War II battleship that played an integral role in the Pacific Theatre.

Come visit and do as much as you want or as little as you want. It's all up to you!

Good location

Great host and location. Very clean. My only notes are that I wished it was keypad entry instead of a key (just my preference) and that the property sleeps 4 but doesn't really fit 4. If you get good weather and aren't in the rental at all, it's ok. But if you're in the rehab

Adorable home away from home

I couldn't have asked for anything more in this adorable home other than an elevator haha. It was quaint, clean, with beautiful landscaping and pool view from the balcony. A short 1 minute walk to sand in your toes. I would highly recommend and will stay here again in the future!

Overall all pretty nice

Some dishes weren’t clean and bed sheets had a mildew scent but other than that, it was very nice. The description makes it seem closer to the ocean than it is, (it’s a couple streets from beach access), but that wasn’t a problem for us.

Great stay

It was a beautiful place. Hosts were understanding & helpful. FYI - the beach is nearby and those with 4 wheel drive is ideal. The closest portions in early February were closed off due to erosion. This was not our focus & was beyond the control of hosts, but others may want to check/ be aware with seasons. Overall we were thrilled with our stay.

Upon arrival it wasn't clean. Dirty linens and wet towels on bathroom floor , dirty sinks. Sliding door kept getting stuck then fell of the tracks so it had to be left open for us to go in and out. We couldn't use the water to shower because it smelled like straight sewage . Dead cockroach in the bedroom! For what I paid it was very disappointing.

A very comfortable space that had a partial view of the ocean from the balcony and a very short walk to the beach. Loved starting the morning listening to the ocean and reading. The property seems to be well maintained and cleaned. It was a great place to kick back and relax. The Carolina Beach boardwalk was about 1.5 miles away and that was a great amenity as well. Loved the place!

Wonderful place to stay.

The condo was very clean and equipped with everything needed. We had brought some things with us but they were not needed. The bed in the master bedroom was extremely comfortable. It was less than a two minute walk to the beach and only a short drive to some very good restaurants. I would definitely recommend this property and I will most likely return as soon as possible.

Excellent place!

I loved our stay at this location. The condo was clean and decorated nicely. I loved having the towels and bedding provided as well as any kitchen utensils. We were thankful for thr cold A/C and the ice maker since it was hot that week. The swimming pool was an added bonus and had a shower to wash off sand. The beach access that we used wasn't very far from our place amd you could see and hear the ocean from the balcony. We sat out on the balcony for hours. We also walkes to the pier which was a short distance and we walked to the boardwalk whoch aboit 1.5 miles. The overall area was great!

About the host

Why they chose this property

You will not be disappointed staying in our vacation home. We purchased the property in 2012 fulfilling a life long dream of having 'a place at the beach'. We completely redecorated it to give it that soothing, open 'beachy' feel, because when we come down, we want to feel like we're at the beach, not a generic condo with a few shells laying around! We use it as much as we can and want you to feel like a guest in our home, not a renter in a condo.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the relaxed and less-crowded area of the 'North Side'. This area is great for 'getting away from it all' and still have many activities to choose from. Carolina Beach has a wide variety of activities for kids, families and adults. Enjoy the beach, walk on the pier, take a dinner cruise, have fun at outdoor concerts and movies, as well as the famous Carolina Beach Boardwalk and Amusement Park. Do as much or as little as you like in this peaceful setting. It's all up to you!
