About this property

Steps to the Beach:Oceanfront - Pools - Prime Spot

Welcome to your oceanfront vacation rental in Carolina Beach! Escape to this first-floor space where the beach is just steps outside your door. Lose yourself in the views of the Atlantic Ocean, where you can start each morning with coffee to the sound of crashing waves while looking for dolphins swimming in the water. It is a great space for your entire family – including your four-legged friend!

Property Highlights:

• Spacious Accommodation: The primary bedroom features a king sized bed, while the second bedroom is outfitted with a convenient queen-over-queen bunk bed, comfortably accommodating family and friends.
• Fully Equipped Kitchen: Whip up delicious meals or bring home your fresh catch and prep a seafood delight in a kitchen stocked with all the essentials.
• Linens Included: Enjoy the convenience of having bed linens, towels, face cloths, and wash clothes provided.
• Dog-friendly: Bring your pup along to enjoy the vacation!
• Swimming: Access 2 community pools during your stay. (Open early April until October)
• Parking: 2 community parking passes provided.

Extras to Love:

• We've got you covered with all the fun stuff—like sand toys, coloring books, beach chairs and body boards.
• Close proximity to local attractions, dining and entertainment.

Whether you’re seeking a romantic retreat, a family vacation, or a weekend getaway with friends, this oceanfront property is the perfect spot to relax and recharge. Wake up to the sound of the waves, relax on the sandy beach just steps away, and create unforgettable memories at Carolina Beach – with your pup in tow!

WHERE YOU'LL FIND US

We've traveled up and down the North Carolina coast, and we haven't found a town we love more than Carolina Beach. At our condo, all the best spots are within easy reach. Plus, with access to two community pools, you can take a break from the sand and surf to practice your backstroke.

Of course there's the beach just outside your door, but within walking distance there's also Freeman Park for bonfires on the beach, Carolina Beach Fishing Pier, and a quaint downtown with plenty of places to shop or grab a bite. Don't leave without trying a Britt's donut!

Hop in your car (2 parking passes per condo) and drive just a few minutes to Carolina Beach State Park to walk down the Venus flytrap trail, see sea life up close at North Carolina Aquarium, or take a local tour to Shark Island.

Great Girls Get-Away

Rented for an extended girls weekend. 4 generations who love the beach and seafood. Property location was great with excellent beach access, wonderful views, and a comfortable stay. Could benefit from an added outdoor spigot/shower to clean off sand. Floors are somewhat uneven.

A Little Slice of Heaven

Our stay was pure enjoyment, all around. What a beautiful and clean condo with an exceptional view! We didn't want to leave. Carolina beach is such a special place, and this condo made it even more special. It's convenient to all the great restaurants and spots yet it felt very private and peaceful. We were so grateful that we could bring our dog along, too! We will definitely be staying at this little gem again!

The beds were very comfortable which is so important and was a highlight of our stay. My kids loved the queen bunk beds too. There are some things that need fixing around the place, but nothing major. The rainshower head in the master bath basically points straight ahead so only a tall person could really have their head above the water flow. The deck is very uneven and out of level. It made it a little harder to sit back and enjoy as you end up sitting tilted, but the view of the ocean is gorgeous! The beach out front was unfortunately washed totally away by the last storm and their is a barricade of huge rocks protecting the dunes. We were able to walk behind the rocks for about a block to reach the open beach and go for walks. There was also beach to be had if you walk a couple blocks north on the street. I hear they will be infilling the beach this winter so that should make it a normal beachfront again.

Always a great stay!

There is very little that I need to say if I tell you that this is the second time we have stayed at this place and are booking it next year. The location, the dog friendliness, and the responsiveness of the owners personally and the company when need was spot on as last year. For a family of 3 with 2 dogs, you can't beat this place and the people who own it.

Great home base

We booked this condo to use as a home base while we saw our extended family for Thanksgiving. The property had everything we needed for simple meal prep, and our dogs were happy with the scenery from the back porch. We watched the sunrise every morning-directly in front of the porch. We were able to walk on the north end with the dogs every day-wide open spaces, and much needed relaxing time.

About the host

Hosted by Greg and Laura Calone

Host profile image
Hello! We have lived in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina for nearly 20 years after both having been raised in the Northeast. Greg initially moved to North Carolina for school and Laura for work. We are now a family of 5 with our 5 year old daughter Isabella and our 2 mini-goldendoodles Maddie and Mollie.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved the beach. Our journey started out by exploring the lighthouses of North Carolina. During our travels we came across Carolina Beach and found ourselves returning time after time. We came across Rolling Waves and knew immediately it was a place that we could call home. It is a place where we come recharge and unwind after a long week.

What makes this property unique

We loved this place so much that we wanted to share it with others. We want our guests to feel at home and like they are part of the family. We continue to make upgrades to help each guest have a wonderful experience.
