A weekend at the beach

We enjoyed the condo. It is well equipped except for glasses and very clean. The balcony overlooking the ocean was our favorite part. Watching the sunrise, surfers, and beach goers while eating our meals was wonderful. The condo is within walking distance to many attractions which is convenient since parking is expensive.

Great location, agency needs customer service training

Extra large ocean-facing windows with sofa on balcony. Ideal location - just a 10 minute walk to the CB boardwalk. Annoying that rental agency required going to the office for parking passes and would have required returning them too if they were permanent passes. Also, kitchen faucet repair took three days with little communication on status. But, at least, it was replaced. On balance, a good stay.
Stayed 10 nights in May 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 23 May, 2025
Thank you for the detailed review. We appreciate the feedback and are glad to hear that you overall had a good stay. Parking in the town of Carolina Beach is strictly enforced, and due to our short window between check-ins, we have found that having both incoming and departing guests stop by for parking passes and ensuring they are in hand, helps mitigate the risk of either party being towed at their own expense. We have seen instances where guests were ticketed or towed in the time it took them to unload their luggage, so ensuring you have them before arriving on the premises is for the benefit of the guest. We will work on enhancing communication regarding any maintenance issues. Your comments will help us enhance the guest experience. We hope you had an enjoyable time and look forward to welcoming you back.

Was very clean. Had everything we needed in the kitchen.. enough space for 4 people to be comfortable. Great balcony with enough seating for 6. Never got to use the pool as it was a little cool out.

Beautiful deck veiw

I wanted a condo with perfect ocean veiw and this was it. Nice sized deck. Well decorated and stocked with everything we needed. We did have to grab extra toilet and paper towels. Quality of both was useless. Stepping out on the ocean sand direct from condo and being walking distance from great food. Try lakeside steak house and sol flavor- excellent!!
