We had a great weekend and we loved using the golf cart. The weather was perfect and our dogs finally got to run free on the beach. Our labradoodle could not wait to go to the beach the second time. We would stay there again.

10/10 — we will absolutely be back!This was our second stay at this property, and we’re already planning our next visit. The home is spotless, modern and beautifully decorated with the cutest beach vibe — it immediately puts you in vacation mode.We love the proximity to the beach, restaurants, the running path, and the park. It truly feels close to everything while still being tucked away in a quiet, peaceful area. The golf cart is a huge bonus and makes getting around both easy and fun.The owners are wonderful — friendly, responsive, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Of all the places we’ve stayed in CB, this is by far our favorite!

About the host

Hosted by The Matthews Family

Host profile image
We are four brothers that wanted to fulfill our late mother's wish of having a place at the beach where our scattered family could come together every year and create lasting memories for her kids and grand kids.

We love the laid back and family-oriented atmosphere of Carolina Beach. Everything is just a short walk or cart-ride away - the boardwalk, shopping, great restaurants and bars (with some amazing live music!), public parks, and more.

We are excited to share our home with you and your family to create your own lasting memories!
