About this property

Ocean View. Pet Friendly - Coastal Charm, Clean & Comfy.

Unwind with the family at this beautifully decorated beach condo, perfectly situated on one of the most desirable stretches of sand on Carolina Beach. Wake up to stunning Atlantic Ocean views and spend your afternoons swaying on the porch swing daybed, the perfect spot for dolphin watching by the pier.

We are pet-friendly and even named our condo after our pup, Finn, because we know vacations are better when your four-legged family members can come along. Located on the island’s only year-round dog-friendly beach, you can bring your pup and make memories together. A one-time pet fee of $95 applies.

Beach access is just steps from your front porch, giving you two very different experiences within minutes. To the north of the pier is Freeman Park, a family favorite known for action and adventure. Surf with the locals, try paddleboarding or kitesurfing, cast a line for shore fishing, or head out for some four-wheeling and tailgating right on the sand. On the other side of the pier, you’ll find some of the most peaceful stretches of sand in Carolina Beach, perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun.

Your condo is only a short drive to downtown and the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, where you can explore shops, enjoy great restaurants, and take in the fun atmosphere. You can also rent bicycles or golf carts to experience the island the way locals do, grab ice cream at the pier, or unwind with a drink at the Tiki Bar.

Finns Up is designed with a coastal chic style and plenty of thoughtful touches to make your stay special. From the décor to the amenities, every detail has been chosen to create a relaxing and comfortable retreat. This condo is a wonderful destination for your next beach vacation, and we look forward to welcoming you to Finns Up.

Other Details:

Your 2 bedroom Condo also includes a Sofa in the Lounge area that can be converted to a Queen Size Bed and an extra twin size foldaway bed for extra sleeping arrangements. Please inquire for further details.

If you have any questions prior to or after making a booking with us please feel free to send any questions our way we will be more than happy to answer your calls or texts.

About the host

Hosted by James Aiken

Host profile image
We’re Jamie and Cindy, proud owners and hosts of Finns Up and Bear’s Beachfront here on Carolina Beach. Hosting isn’t just about providing a place to stay - for us it’s about creating a coastal retreat where families, friends, and pups can make lasting memories.

Our journey as hosts started with a love for design and attention to detail. Every corner of our condos has been thoughtfully styled to bring in the calming tones and textures of the coast, while also offering the comforts of home. From porch swing daybeds to cozy fireplaces and carefully chosen linens, we’ve poured our hearts into making these spaces feel special.

We’re also dog parents to Finn and Bear, our two Goldendoodles, who inspired both the names of our properties and our focus on pet-friendly travel. We know how important it is to bring along the whole family, and that includes your four-legged ones.

When we’re not welcoming guests, you’ll often find us exploring the local restaurants, walking the beaches, or planning little touches to make our guests’ experiences even better. Whether it’s sharing our favorite coffee spot, recommending a day trip to Bald Head Island, or just making sure your stay is seamless, we love being part of your Carolina Beach story.

We can’t wait to host you and help you experience the best of the island.

Why they chose this property

We’ve always loved the North End of Carolina Beach because it offers the best of both worlds. It’s peaceful and tucked away, giving you a true sense of escape, yet it’s still close enough to all the fun of downtown and the Boardwalk. The beaches here are wider, quieter, and more relaxed, making it easy to find your own spot in the sand.

One of our favorite things about the North End is the year-round dog-friendly beach. Watching families and pups enjoy the shoreline together feels like what beach life is all about. From our porch, we often see dolphins by the pier, and those little moments never get old.

This part of the island has its own charm -you can grab ice cream at the North End Pier, head north to Freeman Park for adventure, or simply enjoy the slower pace that makes the North End so special.

What makes this property unique

Finns Up isn’t just another beach rental—it’s a thoughtfully designed coastal retreat where every detail has been chosen with comfort and relaxation in mind. What sets us apart is the combination of location, style, and experience.

Our condo sits on the coveted North End of Carolina Beach, steps from the sand and right by the island’s only year-round dog-friendly beach. Guests love the front porch swing daybed overlooking the ocean - a spot where you can nap in the salty breeze, watch dolphins swim by the pier, or enjoy a quiet sunrise with your morning coffee.

We’ve poured care into every corner of the space, blending coastal chic décor with all the conveniences you’d want in a home away from home. From curated kitchenware and smart TVs in every room to plush linens and thoughtful touches for your pup, we’ve made sure you can simply arrive and relax.

And unlike many rentals, Finns Up offers two distinct beach experiences within steps of your door. Head north to Freeman Park for adventure - surfing, four-wheeling, fishing, and kitesurfing - or stay closer to the pier for some relaxing beach time.

Finns Up is more than a stay - it’s a chance to slow down, make memories, and enjoy the kind of coastal living that makes the North End so special.
