Southern Belle 2 bed / pet-friendly / 2nd row in Carolina Beach with ocean view
Welcome to Southern Belle! This charming duplex in Carolina Beach is one block from public beach access with crosswalk - just hit the traffic button and the cars stop so that you may continue your journey to the ocean. The duplex is divided into two sides. Southern Belle only shares a wall with the other side - otherwise the fenced back yard and entry are private. There are 17 steps from the fenced patio up to the entry door. This amazing property features 2 cozy bedrooms with a king and queen bed, perfect for a peaceful night's sleep. Enjoy the convenience of WiFi, roku TV, a washing machine/dryer, and fenced yard for your furry friend. The living room with a comfy sofa bed provides additional space for a guest. Our fully stocked kitchen allows for meals in, or enjoy the many delicious restaurants right on the island. Sip your morning coffee on the balcony with a view of the ocean and spend the evening under the string lights in adirondack chairs by the fire pit. Downstairs next to patio is a closet stocked with chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, and a wagon to enjoy on the sand. A propane grill and patio table with 4 chairs allow for outdoor dining. There is also an outside shower area for rinsing off. Carolina Beach is family friendly beach town with pizza spots, coffee and ice cream shops, seafood restaurants, dive bars, and 2 grocery stores. You'll never have to (or want to) leave the island - but if you do, Wilmington is a short drive! During the summer there are free outdoor concerts and movies, a weekly Farmers Market, carnival rides / games, and Thursday night fireworks! Stroll the boardwalk and visit the famous Britt's donuts, head down to the Kure Beach pier, take a tour of Shark Tooth Island, visit the NC Aquarium or take in some local Civil War history at Fort Fisher. You can find new things to do every day or, of course, just relax on the beach and soak up the sun. You'll be glad you came to Carolina Beach, and you will want to come back year after year!

Loved staying here - great communication, clean and cute, stocked well and has all the amenities. So close to the ocean and all around a great place to stay!
The kitchen was very well stocked, the whole house was. The beds had very comfortable mattresses & toppers & nice linens. Loved the view of the ocean from the front porch, perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee. The owners provided excellent communication & everything we needed to know was emailed in advance. Great location, would absolutely stay here again.

Lindsay we’re so glad you had a great stay and hope you will return!
My family had a fantastic stay at this property. Was very clean and the host communicated check-in information well in advance. The house is super close to the public beach access (150-200 yds) and the availability of a wagon on the property to tote beach toys and other associated beach items over was very convenient. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone else headed to the Carolina Beach area,

This rental is perfect. The location is great, very clean, and very accommodating. The property is very clean and the area is quiet and relaxing. The communication with the property manager is definitely five star. I highly recommend staying at this property
Great location between two public beach access to get to the beach. Amazing back yard, pictures do not do it justice. Spent a lot of time there and on the front porch. Everything was very clean and all that you needed to have a great vacation. Would definitely do it again.

Thank you Jenn! We would love to have you back again!
Property was exactly as described. We had family in for the long weekend and rented the southern belle for 4 nights. Could not have worked out better. We're really particular about accommodations when we travel, and it was perfect for us. We'll definitely be back.

Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Courtyard smelled of urine especially on stairwell but was very humid during our stay. Wasps on balcony. We bought wasp spray. Light on stairway was out where you entered the town home that by the way was marketed as a house. Shower head was stopped up but owner replaced when I told her we were soaking in white vinegar. Key pad lock locked us out several times. Had a bit of a hard time reaching the owner but she tried to resolve our issues. Key pad was still messed up when we left but was able to use a key. Worst part was when we got locked out of the townhome. I was unable to reach the owner. It was very hot during our visit. If you’re wanting someplace quiet, dont rent this place multiple people park and hang out on the street in front of the rental. But if you want to be in the heart of the action you got it.

Thank you for your feedback. While I regret your experience wasn’t ideal, I’d like to clarify several inaccuracies in your review. You checked in on 6/21/25 via the keypad. When it stopped working on 6/22, you called at 9:40 AM; I returned your call by 9:55 AM and gave you access to the physical key, which you had for the rest of your stay. At no point were you locked out.
You mentioned a pet urine odor in the yard, not the stairwell. I explained it may have come from previous guests’ dogs peeing on the vinyl fence and arranged for our landscaper to wash down the fence.
You also noted mineral buildup on the showerhead, so I scheduled our handyman for the next morning to replace it and address the keypad.
I brought up the stairwell light being out, you told me it wasn’t a concern and that you could use your flashlight. To minimize disruptions during your vacation, I made the decision to delay that repair, based on your own feedback. However, I noticed it was still included as a complaint here.
I responded to all calls and texts, including checking in midweek, when you thanked me. When the keypad failed again, I apologized and reminded you to use the key.
As for noise, this is a lively beach town—not a remote area like the Outer Banks. While we can’t control neighbors, we can assist in filing noise complaints. We also provide white noise machines in all bedrooms for comfort.
I welcome constructive feedback, but it’s important to correct misrepresented facts.
Its listed as a house. But its more like a Duplex house. There are 2 houses in one structure that share a driveway. The entry steps are at the back of the house in an fenced in court yard. The house had electronic keypad door lock, which are convenient. The living space is well laid out. Its nicely furnished. Its well stocked with everything for cooking. There were some cleaning issues. The floors were sandy. There was kibble and bits dog food in several places on the floor. The master bed room sheets were thrown on the bed sideways. There was residue of bread crums on the kitchen counters. Its wasn't cleaned well. We cleaned it up ourselves. When we left a review about our the cleaning issues, management refunded 3/4 of our cleaning charge. I forgot to tell them the light is out in the stair case. Its really dark in there. All in all, Its a nice place to stay. Its a short walk to the beach, and they have a beach wagon in the storage closet down stairs. Its about a mile to the boardwalk, which we walked to. There are a couple restaurants within walking distance. The only drawback to the area is EVERYTHING in the area is pay to park. At 6.00 an hour, you better walk.

Hi Roy,
Thank you for your feedback! I have updated the description of our property to include the shared wall.
The cleaning company has addressed the issues with their employee. We encourage guests to report any issues immediately so that we have a chance to remedy so you can fully enjoy your stay. You were refunded 100% of the cleaning fee so please let me know if you did not receive. I am sorry again that this happened.

This is the perfect home away from home for a beach vacation. The fully fenced yard was great to have for our pup. Beach access is so close. The house was well equipped with anything we needed, comfortable and Meghan was so easy to get in touch with! The neighbors are friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We can't wait to come back!
