About the host
Hosted by Trent Hurley
Hi, I'm Trent! I live just down the road in Wilmington and work as a mortgage loan officer. I love helping people feel at home—whether that's through my day job or by hosting at the beach. I’ve always appreciated clean, comfortable, well-located places when I travel, and I aim to provide the same for my guests. Carolina Beach is a special place, and I’m happy to share tips on where to eat, explore, or just kick back and relax. Let me know if you need anything during your stay!
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it’s the perfect blend of peaceful and fun. It’s on the quieter north end of Carolina Beach, which means less traffic and noise—but you’re still just a short bike ride or drive to the boardwalk, restaurants, shops, and all the local favorites. I love being so close to the beach and the canal—you can catch an ocean breeze in the morning and watch the sunset over the water in the evening. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, unwind, and still have access to everything that makes Carolina Beach such a great destination.
What makes this property unique
What makes this condo stand out is the location and the view. You're on the top floor of a bright, coastal-style building with peaceful canal views and gorgeous sunsets—just a 2-minute walk to the beach. It's the best of both worlds: quiet mornings on the balcony, and afternoons in the ocean or at the pool. The end-unit layout gives extra privacy and light, and the two decks let you enjoy both sunrise and sunset. Whether you're here for family fun, a weekend getaway, or just some time to recharge, this spot gives you comfort, convenience, and a true Carolina Beach experience.
