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.

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.

The home is lovely with everything you need to enjoy your time at the beach - tons of space, steps from the beach, and within walking distance of restaurants/bars and groceries.
Loved our stay. Great location as we were able to walk or ride a bike to stores and restaurants. Very clean beach house with beach themed decor. Amazing view of the beach from two bedrooms, deck, and living room. Would definitely recommend staying here.

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.

Outstanding trip!
Central to the heart of Carolina beach, we had a great time on this trip. A well appointed kitchen made cooking for our large group a breeze! Owners have thoughtfully decorated and furnished this house and we wouldn’t change a a thing!!
Close to everything. The teens walked everywhere. The house had all the basic necessities. Fun times hadby all.

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.
