Easy check-in and great location near Carolina Beach boardwalk, shopping, and restaurants. Clean house, a few steps to the sand and ocean, and great relaxing on the back deck with a coffee!

Reviewer Comments:
We always spend New Year's Eve at the beach; it's kind a tradition, sometimes with family, friends or both. This was my first experience renting a house in Carolina Beach with A1 Property Management, and I can say it was one of the best. The house was clean, beautiful decorated, organized, and well-equipped not only with appliances but also with necessary accessories like dishwasher and laundry pods, etc. The A1 Property Communications was easy and always available. I will absolutely be back to this house and would try any other property from A1 in the future.
Property was spotless and the host were very responsive/ the view we had daily while having our morning coffee was beautiful. We also enjoyed hear the waves crash the beach. We would stay here again
This location couldn’t be better. The kitchen and family room had a beautiful view of the ocean. The home also had a deck with a private walkway to the beach, so it’s really a great house for a family vacation. We had a great time!

This is our 6th year renting Sol Shine. It is a great beach house for our family and ample seating for everyone. The house is fully equipped and everything in working order. We enjoy the spacious outside shower, the grill, and great deck.. We also appreciate that it is dog friendly for our well-behaved dog. We plan on renting it again next year. Thank you to owners for maintaining a welcoming beach house.
Amazing weekend at the beach. Wonderful place. Clean, comfortable, and gorgeous views. Host was very accommodating. Our girls and the dogs had a ton of fun on the beach. Great experience.

We checked in and the linens had not been changed and washed. We called the property manager and he promptly came over, gathered all of the linens and towels, took them, washed them, returned them, and made up the beds. Very good service.The property was ocean front with a board walk to the beach. The views from the porch were spectacular and espescialy the sunrises and sunsets. The place was clean and very nice. The backside (facing the ocean) was the kitchen and seating area and the views were as good as the porch. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils and a coffee maker. They also had a hot pot for heating up water for the tea drinkers in the group. Overall, the property was as described in the listing, the attentiveness of the property manager was top notch. I would recommend this property to anyone. My group is talking about coming back.

Amazing place! I was impressed with the property. Unfortunately, the outside water did not work and there were lights that did not work but overall this place worked perfectly! Gorgeous view, convenient, clean, comfortable beds, clean, private. Would stay again.

Hey Angel:
We turn off the water to all our outdoor showers in the winter as we don't want the pipes to freeze. We will be turning them back on now as the nights below freezing are over. As far as any lights that didn't work we hadn't noticed but if you you had mentioned it we would have come right over. We keep spare light bulbs under the kitchen sink and both bathroom vanities. You are welcome back anytime.

The house was absolutely perfect for our family stay. Being right on the beach is priceless with children ages 2 & 3. The sunrise views in the morning are beautiful & gets your day started on the right foot. Very centrally located - went to the aquarium one morning (10 minutes away), ice cream right across the street, Tiki Bar a few houses down & Publix one mile away. Love the retro feel of Carolina Beach & watched the surfers every day!
Everything about this house was just right for our group of 5. The only complaints we had were that the lock box for the key was a bit difficult to open and the showers are really small. But location was perfect and overall property was very nice. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location and spectacular views! The property was clean and included thoughtful amenities for guests. The house was spacious providing ample areas to spread out or gather together without being cramped. Interactions with the property management company were courteous and professional. Check in annd out were both very easy.
Everything was Wonderful! Best house on the beach, everything was in walking distance. Hated to leave! as it was worth every penny we paid.
Thank you
