Welcome to Chasin' Waves at Carolina Beach! Chasin' Waves is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath, oceanfront condo! Wake up, take a deep breath of ocean air, feel the warm sun on your face, exhale. Relax - you are at the beach! Where else can you take in a breathtaking sunrise and a great cup of coffee on your private balcony, then stroll down the beach to the boardwalk and grab some Britts donuts for breakfast?! That's just the start of many incredible memories you'll make visiting Carolina Beach. We love this island and we are happy to share both the island and our home with you!
New in 2023: New bedroom furniture in both bedrooms, new mattresses and new box springs! We include all linens, sheets and towels with your rental! We believe a great vacation starts with a good night's sleep which is why both bedrooms are equipped with room darkening curtains. The master bedroom is equipped with a ceiling fan, a 45" HDTV, an en-suite bathroom with a double vanity, a closet with hangers, as well as a small private deck. We keep a small black fan in the closet of the master bedroom for additional air flow or to use as a sound machine to help you sleep!
The guest bedroom also has a closet and direct access to a bathroom with a stand up shower and extended vanity. There are additional blankets in the closets and extra towels under the bathroom sinks.
Our dining room table is equipped with a butterfly leaf, so please feel free to make it larger or smaller to accommodate your group.
The living room is equipped with a 45" HDTV, a ceiling fan, and a sleeper sofa with an upgraded queen “cool dreamz” mattress. And last, but certainly not least, the oceanfront porch is large enough to comfortably accommodate seating for multiple people. There is a small high top table, 2 swivel chairs and 2 stools. You can also use our high-boy beach chair or any of the kitchen stools for additional seating. We plan to add a few more seats this summer!
Parking! 1 reserved space directly under the building and 1 additional space in the lot directly across the street.

The house location was great. Easy access to the beach and walkable to central Carolina beach. The beds were both comfortable. Snacks and wine on arrival, plenty of items to get us through the long weekend, soap, shampoo, dish soap, hand soap, etc. We had a great time, thank you again for sharing your home.
The condo is perfectly located to the beach! It was within walking distance of shops and restaurants and had everything we needed. Would absolutely stay here again!

We had a great stay! The condo was perfect for our weekend getaway! Cute, clean, and in the perfect location.

The beds were comfy, the appliances all worked well, and everything felt easy and relaxing.Overall, it was a wonderful beach condo and we’d love to stay again!
Great to be in this lovely condo steps from the beach. Nice kitchen, lovely porch, washer/drier, and good water pressure, which you don’t always get at the beach. Host responded quickly when contacted. We enjoyed it!

We had a great time despite the rain. The condo was perfect for 4 adult's. The beach view was good. The kitchen had all we needed. Good beach access. We would stay there again. Only issue was someone was parked in the parking spot under the condo when we arrived. Thankfully there werr enough spots across the street.

So glad you had a great time in Carolina Beach! I am so sorry that someone was parked in the wrong spot when you arrived. I will make sure to have a conversation with the HOA regarding this disrespectful behavior. Each condo has their own respective parking spaces and guests need to respect the parking policies.
Wonderful beachfront location. Quiet beach and a short walk to the action of the boardwalk. Comfortable condo with all the amenities we needed. Thank you.

Thanks Katie! We hope you’ll return again next year. Thanks for renting Chasin’ Waves!
This rental was perfect for my kids and I to enjoy a weekend at the beach. It was comfortable, clean, and the view was awesome. The owner is a really great guy who cares about the home and cares about his renters. We can’t wait to plan another visit!

Thank you Jaclyn! We enjoyed having you and hope you will be back again next year!
Host was great! He addressed the issues we had at the property right away. Can't beat the location. Property could use a good deep clean but overall was nice. Bed was super comfortable.
Every thing was great about this location. My only minor complaint was the beds seemed more like a full size instead of a Queen, but that may be because I’m used to a king. I would book this location again.

Wonderful. Felt like home during our stay.
Much better view than the pics and much bigger on the inside than expected. Everything we could have needed to make ourselves at home was either provided or was available within a short drive. Beach gear provided was great and having access to an outdoor shower to clean off the sand was fabulous.

Thank you so much for the great review! We are glad you loved the space, the view and the convenient location. It makes us happy to know you felt at home on your vacation. We would love to have you and your family stay again next year!
A delightful getaway spot for a birthday week. Easy beach access and so much sky watching to be had! Clean. Well-appointed. Close enough to walk to restaurants and the boardwalk, but far enough away to be out of the hub-bub. Truly comfortable beds, too.

Why they chose this property
We chose Carolina Beach because it offered so many things to do, golf, fish, scuba, history, close proximity to Wilmington, and of course a beautiful and rejuvenating beach. We knew we didn't want to walk up more than 1 flight of stairs, so it had to be first floor. And we knew we wanted to be able to sit on our private balcony and enjoy a cup of coffee with a stunning sunrise. But we also knew that we would want things to do with the kids: Aquarium, Fort Fisher, Ferry to Southport, Boardwalk, Attractions ---- and we wanted to be close to a vibrant up-and-coming city full of culture, shopping, golf course - AKA Wilmington ---- and so this just checked all of our boxes.
