Oceanfront 2 bedroom condo- Pet Friendly- Mermaids Retreat

Thank you for your feedback. I truly hate that the beach renourishment project impacted your experience. The large pipe you’re referring to is part of a Town of Carolina Beach beach renourishment project. Carolina Beach contracts this work about every five years to pump sand back onto the shoreline and protect our beach long-term. It’s imperative for preserving the coastline, especially in oceanfront communities like ours. Unfortunately, this is not something that is scheduled far in advance with specific placement details shared with homeowners. The pipes were laid just days before your arrival, and I truly had no notice they would be directly in front of the condo at that time. Since then, sand bridges have been built over the pipes to allow for easier access (which I believe may not have been in place yet during your stay). I completely understand that it was frustrating not having the normal direct access you expected, and I sincerely apologize for that inconvenience. That said, this temporary project will result in a significantly wider, more beautiful beach with much more room to walk and enjoy in the coming months. Beach renourishment is a short-term inconvenience for long-term preservation, and I truly hope you’ll consider returning to Carolina Beach in the future to experience the expanded shoreline once the project is complete.
