The views from our unit were immaculate. The photos do not do this unit justice. We had views from both balconies. Ocean on one side and canal/waterway on the other. Literal sunrise on one balcony and sunset (heat) on the other side. The common areas are spacious and we had enough seating for our five. Chair and a half was cool and a large couch.The local Carolina Beach area has lots of attractions for all alike and great food!The kitchen has lots of cookware. Alicia restocks in the off-season, but we did leave a few items we bought for the remainder of 2026 season.Alicia Leo communicates clearly and your check-in instructions come in the morning of your arrival. Hosts do it in different ways: through the app, via a direct message. So I wasn’t sure when it was coming but it got to us the morning of check-in:The ocean accesses are one 1/2 block in each direction: 407ft to the ADA accessible entrance & 348ft to a non-ADA accessible entrance.The pool was outstanding (salt treated) and plenty big for several families to use with small children, or big kids alike. It is shared with the co-building on the reverse block.One simple con was that the owner’s closet was the master bedroom closet that was locked off from use. The master bedroom had to place hanging clothes in a closet in another room. That is not mentioned in the listing.Otherwise, this unit is one you will not regret renting for the views and more!Thank you, Alicia!
