About this property

Beachfront Home with Elevator & Pool. Sleeps 24!

When you're planning a trip for a large group, the right home makes all the difference.

Carolina Calm makes planning a large beach trip feel easy. This oceanfront home sleeps up to 24 guests with 9 bedrooms, multiple gathering spaces, and direct beach access.
Wake up to the sound of waves, step onto the deck with your morning coffee, and watch the sun rise over the Atlantic. Spend the afternoon by the pool or down on the sand just steps away. In the evenings, gather for dinner, a game night, or a quiet moment on the wraparound deck as the sky softens over the water.

This oceanfront home comfortably sleeps up to 24 guests and is thoughtfully arranged across three levels, offering both connection and privacy for large families and group vacations.
-9 bedrooms | 7.5 bathrooms
-Sleeps up to 24 guests
-Three levels with multiple gathering areas
-Private saltwater pool and outdoor living spaces
-Direct beach access via private walkway (no roads to cross)
-Elevator access for easy movement between floors
The home works especially well for multigenerational family trips, reunions, and annual beach gatherings where comfort, space, and layout truly matter.

LAYOUT & ACCESS
Understanding how a home flows is important when coordinating a large group. Here's how Carolina Calm is arranged.

SECOND & THIRD FLOORS
These two levels connect internally and serve as the main shared living space.
-Full kitchen
-Dining area with ocean views
-Living room designed for gathering
-Bedrooms and bathrooms across both floors
-Interior staircase connecting the 2nd and 3rd floors
-Elevator access
-2nd floor ocean-facing balcony off primary king bedroom
-3rd floor wraparound oceanfront deck with panoramic water views
-360° water views
This layout allows the group to come together for meals and conversation while still having separate sleeping spaces.

FIRST FLOOR
The first floor functions as its own private suite within the home.
-3 bedrooms
-2 full bathrooms
-Full kitchen
-Living and dining space
-Private exterior entrance
-Ocean-facing & intracoastal waterway facing balconies
There is no interior stair connection to the 2nd & 3rd floors, which many groups appreciate for added privacy.
The elevators open into a covered ground-level alcove, allowing easy access between all levels without needing to go outdoors.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Much of the trip will likely be spent outside enjoying the ocean air.
-Private saltwater pool with spacious deck
-Poolside tiki bar for shade and refreshments
-Outdoor fire pit for evening conversations
-Two outdoor showers for rinsing off after the beach
-Private walkway directly to the sand
Because the home sits directly on the oceanfront, the beach is only steps away—no roads to cross and no long walks carrying chairs or coolers.

KITCHENS & DINING
Cooking for a large group should feel easy, not stressful.
The home includes two full kitchens designed to handle shared meals and family gatherings.

Each kitchen includes:
-Oven (double oven in upper 3rd floor kitchen)
-Microwave
-Dishwasher
-Gas cooktop
-Ample counter space
Ocean-view dining areas create a comfortable setting for group breakfasts, holiday meals, or casual dinners together.

FAMILY-FRIENDLY COMFORTS
Families traveling with children will find several helpful touches already in place.
-Pack & Play available
-High chair and booster seat
-Indoor games for both kids and adults
These small details help make group travel feel smoother and more relaxed.

LOCATION DETAILS
Carolina Calm sits on a quiet oceanfront street in Carolina Beach, offering both privacy and easy access to the area's best attractions.
-15-minute beachfront walk to the Carolina Beach Boardwalk
-5–10 minute drive to restaurants, shops, and local favorites
-Seasonal rides, festivals, and live music nearby
The location offers the feel of a peaceful coastal neighborhood while still being close to everything families enjoy about Carolina Beach.

-Having space for the entire family without feeling crowded

The goal here isn't just a place to stay.

Nice location but manager could have communicated a lot better about landscapers showing up without notice and taking over the pool area. Also, faulty smoke alarms that made the fire dept show up.

Thank you for your feedback. At Carolina Calm, guest safety and communication are our top priorities, as reflected in our consistent 5-star reviews. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the home’s location, but I regret that some aspects did not meet your expectations. Regarding the smoke alarms, the property is equipped with multiple professionally maintained detectors. During your stay, an industry-standard sensor designed to detect smoking (which is not permitted) sent prolonged alerts—a rare occurrence. I reached out to ensure your safety, but after several hours without a response, I felt it necessary to request a safety check from local authorities. It was only after this incident that I received your response, attributing the alerts to cooking. Producing that level of smoke for an extended period poses a genuine fire risk, and my actions were taken out of a duty of care for all guests and the home. I have provided VRBO with full proof that our safety systems functioned as intended, contrary to your allegations. During your 7-night stay, the landscapers spent less than one hour in the pool area, necessary to ensure access to lifesaving equipment. We strive to ensure our environment remains safe and enjoyable for all guests, and we hope that this brief maintenance did not significantly affect your overall experience. I take guest feedback very seriously, and while I regret that your experience felt less than seamless, I wish you safe and enjoyable travels in the future.

Great for big groups!

We had 20 people (10 adults and 10 kids) and it was plenty of space. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Steps from the beach and the pool was great when we needed a break. Rented our beach set up from Shorebreak Outfitters and Chris was great! Would definitely book again!

Awesome

My fraternity stayed here for a beach retreat and it couldn’t have been a better experience. I’m sure we weren’t the renters they were used to but GG was a great host and responded quickly when we had any questions. I’d recommend this stay to anyone, whether it’s a family or just a group of friends looking for fun and relaxing beach weekend.

The beach at its best

Carolina Calm was the perfect place for our multi- generational family gathering. Spacious, airy, well-furnished and with incredible views of the ocean day and night. We had a few minor issues/questions, and the owner was immediately responsive. Far enough from the noise and commotion of the Boardwalk area to be peaceful, but close enough to walk along the beach for ice cream at sunset - that became our favorite thing. The pool is lovely and well-maintained. Field trips to nearby Wilmington were a delight, as was a day spent walking at Carolina Beach State Park. The battlefield at the end of the point has a new visitor center and is an easy 10 minute drive. Carolina Calm is the perfect mix spacious, clean, comfortable accommodations plus easy access to day trips. One of our best family vacations!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I’m truly honored that Carolina Calm could be the backdrop for such a special family gathering. It means a lot to hear how much you enjoyed the space, the views, and those peaceful beach walks to grab ice cream at sunset—one of my favorite parts of Carolina Beach, too. I also really appreciate how accommodating and understanding you were—it allowed me to resolve your requests quickly and make sure everything felt seamless during your stay. Knowing your family found both rest and connection here is exactly why I created this home. I’d love to welcome you back anytime for another round of coastal memories. Warmly, GG

Wonderful

Our family lives far apart and we don’t get to see each other often. We filled up both units and it worked out great. It was absolutely one of the cleanest places we have ever rented. It’s beautifully designed and set up with great views of the ocean and the pool. Any little issues or questions were handled promptly. We were so glad we chose Carolina Dream!

Carolina Calm

The location is perfect, everything is accessible. Morning wake up is beautiful with the perfect beach front view. The house is perfect for big group, family and friends, where you can cook and gather together. If you’re renting the two units, the elevator is a hustle at first but you’ll get used it. My only comment is the access to the beach, there is no access at the back going to the beach. And if two or more people are taking a shower, the water pressure is really low. But overall we all had fun and enjoyed the house although we had experienced some minor problems, G our host was easy to communicate with and she answered quickly with us. How we wish we could stay longer. It was a great stay!

Regarding your comment about beach access, we wanted to clarify that our property does indeed offer direct private access to the beach via a convenient walkway accessible from the private oceanside pool area. (This is shown in the property photos.) We understand the importance of direct access to the beach experience. The private beach-access walkway also features seating areas, allowing guests to enjoy stunning views of both sunrise and sunset. We appreciate your kind words and hope that you had a memorable time enjoying the beach and the amenities our home has to offer.

Family beach trip

This house worked really well for our family size and we really enjoyed the location and accessibility to the ocean. We contacted the property manager about a couple issues and they were initially very responsive except on check out day. We did have to rent a grill since the one on site has a rusted out bottom and several knobs that don’t work. The internet also does not work at the property. Otherwise it was a great stay and we had a great time. The elevator was clutch for my grandmother for avoiding the flights of stairs each day.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Jul, 2024
I'm glad your family enjoyed your stay and the elevator was helpful for a multigenerational family vacation. That's wonderful. The ocean air is tough on metal and thank for letting me know the grill has lost the battle against it. I will replace it. The internet was indeed fully functional during your stay. Some Apple devices are currently experiencing some initial logon challenges but I manually logged all on so everyone had fully functional internet. As for communication, I strive to be as responsive as possible, but was not immediately available after your checkout when you notified me that items were left behind. I routinely get high ratings for excellent communication but may not always be immediately responsive when no guests are in the home. I did offer after checkout to faciliate your access to retrieve the items but I understand your travel plans did not allow a return. Thank you again for being wonderful guests and I'd be happy to welcome you back in the future.

5 star seaside oasis for families - Carolina Calm

Our stay at Carolina Calm for Christmas exceeded all expectations, offering a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and family-friendly charm. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the seamless accessibility of this oceanfront gem, thanks to convenient elevators providing easy access to all floors. The spacious interior was thoughtfully designed with families in mind, providing ample room for everyone to spread out and relax. The tastefully decorated living spaces exuded a sense of warmth and elegance, while the well-appointed chef's kitchen made meal preparation a breeze. One of the highlights of our stay was the direct beach access, via a private walkway connecting the beach to the home and a private deck with saltwater pool and tiki bar for entertaining. Even the December weather was perfect for beach walks and gathering seashells. One night we enjoyed s'mores at the outdoor fire pit. We greeted sunrises with coffee and celebrated sunsets with a glass of wine - the home offers 360 degree water views of both the Atlantic Ocean and intracoastal waterway. We savored moments of tranquility overlooking the endless expanse of the Carolina coastline. Carolina Beach itself proved to be a treasure trove of family-friendly activities and dining options, including waterfront restaurants serving up fresh seafood to enjoying lattes on porch swings on the Boardwalk. Yet, despite its proximity to the vibrant beach town, Carolina Calm offered a sense of seclusion and privacy that was truly unparalleled. The serene surroundings and quiet ambiance made it easy to unwind and enjoy moments of uninterrupted relaxation. The host answered all our questions promptly, provided free high-speed internet and Wifi, and the beds and sheets were exceedingly comfortable with the sound of the waves lulling us to a great night's sleep. In summary, Carolina Calm provided the perfect backdrop for our family vacation, combining luxury amenities with the comforts of home and easy access to all the wonders of Carolina Beach. We are already counting down the days until we can return to this seaside oasis. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable and rejuvenating getaway.

Thank you for choosing Carolina Calm for your beach stay and for taking the time to leave a review. I noticed you gave 4 out of 5 stars for both location and accuracy, which surprised me, as the home sits directly on the oceanfront with private beach access—something guests consistently mention as a highlight. I take great care to ensure the listing reflects exactly what guests can expect, and I’ve had no previous concerns about inaccuracy. You didn’t reach out with any questions before booking, share any feedback during your stay, or include any details in your review, so I didn’t have the chance to address any concerns at the time. I always welcome communication and the opportunity to make things right in real time. I also want to acknowledge the damage during your stay, including a broken picture frame (which you kindly reported after departure) and a broken door handle that required emergency repair and was not mentioned. I do wonder if perhaps the lower rating was related to those post-stay charges, though I hope that’s not the case. I always strive to provide a five-star experience and truly value thoughtful, transparent feedback. Warmly, GG – Carolina Calm
