2 BR Condo On the Beach (any closer and you'd need a tent on the sand).
Our condo is newly renovated and ready for the summer season! We kept our "beachy" colors but did significant upgrades to kitchen, living area, and bathrooms. This bright, colorful and decidedly "beachy" oceanfront condo is perfect for a family vacation or last-minute beach trip! Flat screen TV's in the living room and both bedrooms, as well as high speed, secure internet (not shared with the rest of the building). The Ocean Front master bedroom has a king-sized bed with a new Beautyrest mattress, private full bath with rainwater shower and detachable hand-held wand, and access to the oceanfront balcony. There are 2 twin beds In the street-facing second bedroom with access to the full hall bathroom with tub/shower. These can also be converted to a king bed with a converter kit provided. There is also a queen sleeper sofa with upgraded Memory Foam mattress in the living room should you need the extra bed space. The oceanfront balcony offers breathtaking views (make sure to catch at least one sunrise on your stay). The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for a week at the beach (and all appliances are brand new), with a Ninja Mega-Kitchen System blender, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, microwave, and J. A. Henckels kitchen cutlery. But, if you'd rather not cook, there are loads of restaurants really close by. Some of our favorites are Kate's Pancake House, Havana's, Michaelangelo's Pizza, Pop's Diner, and of course, the famous Britt's Donuts. And the Veggie Wagon (just across US 421) is a real treat, offering farm-fresh veggies, freshly baked baguettes, deli sandwiches, take-and-bake pizza's, fruit smoothies, and a pretty good selection of beer and wine. In addition to a great time on the beach, you have access to bike rentals just two blocks away (one of our family's favorite activities is to bike down to Fort Fisher and catch the ferry to Southport). The Carolina Beach Greenway is accessible at the lake which is just across the street. Here you will find a nice walking, running, cycling, or skating trail, peddle boat rentals, and there are family movies every Sunday night. Two blocks away you will find the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, with shops, restaurants, Britt's Donuts and an amusement park. Thursday nights there are fireworks from the boardwalk. See them there, or enjoy them from the beach or the deck of the condo. The unit has spacious covered parking that can accommodate two larger sized vehicles or three smaller ones. We've been coming to Carolina Beach for over 20 years and have owned this unit since 2008. It's slow-paced and relaxing, a perfect location for a family wanting to unwind or for a couple looking for a quiet, romantic getaway. We love spending time here, and we think you will too! Enjoy!

Great location, within walking distance to many restaurants, shops and the boardwalk. The space was comfortable and well appointed, with an amazing view! Hosts were very responsive to questions posed prior to our arrival. Very organized, providing information regarding appliance usage, local points of interest and check out. Our only suggestions would be a deep-cleaning and some fresh paint.
Super convenient location with a beautiful view of the ocean. This condo had everything we needed for a wonderful Easter week visit with our family in the area. Add the fact it was dog friendly along with a dedicated parking row for our condo and we will definitely be looking to book this place again.
We had a great stay! It was a super chilly and windy weekend, but still enjoyed our stay. Kitchen was fully stocked and appliances updated. View was great and location was close to many restaurants and shops within walking distance. Communication with host was easy and questions were always answered quickly. Thanks so much for providing a great getaway for our family! :)
This is an easily-to-reach 2nd floor (walk-up) condo which directly overlooks the beach and is a short walk south of the busy boardwalk area. Our stay was before the Memorial Day season, so noise was NOT an issue. The furnishings were all comfortable. Foot traffic from upstairs neighbors is noticeable. We also found the pool to be very small (the size of a large hot tub) and mostly shaded, which was not apparent in the listing photos. The deck furniture is very good and the ocean view is unobstructed for beautiful sunrises. There are several restaurant options within walking distance. A nearby property (0.5mi south) has EV charging stations in their parking lot which was convenient. Enjoy your stay!
Condo was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect as we were steps away from the ocean. Thank you for a delightful place to stay for our family vacation!
We had an amazing week at Betsy and Chris’s condo. This condo is so comfortable and perfect for our family (including our doodle). We enjoyed watching the sunsets each morning on the balcony. Can’t wait to come back again next summer!
This condo is perfect. Love the new captain chairs on the deck. The perfect spot to park your car and walk to the boardwalk everyday and steps to the beach.
We've been coming to CB every year for about 10 years, and this place was by far the BEST! The location was perfect, and the condo itself was spacious, spotless, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a fantastic vacation. We truly felt at home. We'd love to make this our go-to spot every year from now on!
Condo was neat and clean upon arrival. Great views while relaxing on the patio. Couch and beds were comfortable and made it feel like home and not like you are staying somewhere else. Loved having the shelves labeled in the kitchen to know where stuff belongs. We appreciated having the Brita pitcher in the fridge and the ice maker in the freezer! Will definitely stay again if it’s available whenever we come back!
Fabulous location on the beach and across from the CB park. Very pet friendly beach. Walking to several restaurants and veggie wagon was a plus! Would definitely recommend. Would suggest taking a sound machine if a light sleeper, due to noise from unit above. Always the case when not on the top floor. The owners were super friendly and attentive.
We enjoyed our stay very much! The sunrises were lovely, the beach access was so convenient. Our host was superb, we would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to family & friends.
All you need is available at this property,Well decorated, and stocked with all kitchen needs for cooking meals. We really enjoyed our stay, and hope to return next year.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cozy, well appointed, nicely maintained condo on the beach. We will definitely visit again and highly recommend!
This was our second time staying at Chris & Betsy’s place and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Their place is as advertised and couldn’t have been better… the only thing we would have changed was the weather 😀
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The location was great and we liked being able to walk to restaurants. We were steps away from a beautiful beach that wasn’t too crowded. Would definitely stay here again if visiting Carolina Beach. The property manager was great as well.
We had such a good time. Wonderful hosts, great location. The condo is perfect for our family of 3 plus two dogs. Absolutely will visit again!

About the host
Hosted by Chris and Betsy Head
Chris and Betsy met in college, and fell in love a few years later. Married since 1989, they have raised 3 wonderful children who are now grown and making their parents prouder every day! Carolina Beach has been one of those touchstones in our lives. It's a wonderful place to leave the world behind and focus on family time. Today we live in Virginia, but come here as often as we can to dig our toes in the sand!
Why they chose this property
Betsy always wanted to own a home at the beach. As an infant, her first beach experience was just north of here, on Wrightsville Beach. Chris has family in the Wilmington area, so the fit was a natural. When this condo came on the market, the two knew the time was right. With the condo's unique view of the Civil War wreckage, there is a special charm to this quiet beach village of Carolina Beach.
What makes this property unique
From the first time we stayed in one of the Sands III condos, we loved the view of the beach from the deck. With the beach access right next to the building, we couldn't ask for better location. And the lake across the street is a great place to get our steps in every day! The pathway around the lake is perfect for walking, running, or taking your furry friends for a stroll. All in all, our condo is in a perfect location for everything! We can walk to restaurants, bike all over the island, or grab a green smoothie just a block away at the Veggie Wagon (a discovery we just made in April of 2017!) The pool, while small, is perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach. And Carolina Beach offers us whatever we are looking for: great restaurants, amusing nightlife, good shopping, outdoor recreation, and so much more!
