About this property

Elegant beachfront escape with private boardwalk, free WiFi, & furnished balcony

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

There is nothing quite like waking up to the salty breeze and endless ocean views, so treat yourself to an unforgettable getaway to Carolina Beach and make Paradise Island Ocean Front your next home-away-from-home. With your own brand new boardwalk leading to the sand, you will have no delay in getting your fill of sweet sunshine and crashing waves mere steps from your back door. Plus, this gem is within walking distance of Carolina Lake, shopping, restaurants, and so much more.

When you find yourself heading back home from a beach day, rinse off sandy toes in the outdoor shower and head into the airy layout of the main level to whip up a tasty meal in the full kitchen. With bar seating, beautiful countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an abundance of cookware, you should have no trouble preparing your favorite recipes in no time. Not to mention, the rest of the gang will love relaxing in the living room complete with a large flatscreen TV, a gas fireplace, and access to the furnished balcony for a sunset cocktail.

There is truly no place like Carolina Beach, so book your stay while this rare gem lasts!

Yes it was very welcoming and ready for us when we arrived. It was everything that we expected and had a memorable time as a family. Only issue was with the elevator but the repairman showed us what to do when it quit on us. Just needs some usual maintenance upkeep.

Comfortable beds, beach front, and good communication. We wish the thermostat would go lower than 70, but we were there in October, so it wasn't too bad. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect location and great house for a group.

Herons Hideaway is centrally located within a easy walk to the CB Boardwalk area and several restaurants. Direct beach access could not be easier. The layout of the house provides good space for a large group without being cramped. We would be happy to stay again.

Great spot

Great location, common space, and would be ideal for large groups! We enjoyed the easy beach access and the beautiful views. The kitchen is lovely. If you absolutely need an elevator for your stay - this one seems to have a history of not always operating. Check in was challenging, but we made it in with a garage code.
