Steps to the Beach:Oceanfront - Pools - Prime Spot

From the ocean-view living room to the private balcony, everyone finds something to love at our oceanfront condo. Escape to this first-floor retreat where the beach is just steps outside your door. A spacious floor plan lets you vacation with a group while still finding space for yourself (we get it!), and bring the family dog with you to explore the beach and scenic trails.

Here's how you can spend your getaway:

* Save a morning to rise early. Trust us: it's worth it for a view of sunrise over the ocean from the private balcony.

* Bring home your fresh catch and prep a seafood feast in the full kitchen with all new appliances. Open a bottle of wine to bribe a few people to help you prep and chop at the pass-through bar.

* No reservation needed for your dining table for six. Wander off the beach and enjoy a casual dinner in—we hear Michael's famous seafood chowder pairs nicely with a bottle of white and endless ocean views.

* Rainy day? Get cozy on the living room sofa and find your favorite movie or play a board game while storm-watching over the ocean.

Find peace and quiet in the king-size master suite with its own private bath (the rain-style shower head has gotten rave reviews).

Rest up in the second bedroom with a custom queen-over-queen bunk and its own small balcony. Adults love this space as much as kids do. There's also a futon in the living area for the snorer in your group. 🙂

We've got you covered with all the fun stuff—like sand toys, coloring books, beach chairs and body boards. And we're equipped with the essentials, too—like a washer/dryer, WiFi, and hotel-quality linens and towels.

WHERE YOU'LL FIND US

We've traveled up and down the North Carolina coast, and we haven't found a town we love more than Carolina Beach. At our condo, all the best spots are within easy reach. Plus, with access to two community pools, you can take a break from the sand and surf to practice your backstroke.

Of course there's the beach just outside your door, but within walking distance there's also Freeman Park for bonfires on the beach, Carolina Beach Fishing Pier, and a quaint downtown with plenty of places to shop or grab a bite. Don't leave without trying a Britt's donut!

Hop in your car (2 parking passes per condo) and drive just a few minutes to Carolina Beach State Park to walk down the Venus flytrap trail, see sea life up close at North Carolina Aquarium, or take a local tour to Shark Island.

Great home base
We booked this condo to use as a home base while we saw our extended family for Thanksgiving. The property had everything we needed for simple meal prep, and our dogs were happy with the scenery from the back porch. We watched the sunrise every morning-directly in front of the porch. We were able to walk on the north end with the dogs every day-wide open spaces, and much needed relaxing time.

Another lovely stay!
We have stayed several years in this unit. The owners are friendly and super responsive. The neighborhood and the beach are quiet at this end. You can’t get any closer to the beach and it’s a 30 second walk to two pools. We love coming here and always have a relaxing family vacation that can include our English Bulldog! This year there was significant beach erosion at the north end of the island but that’s to be expected given the storms this season. Did not deter from a great trip. We still went to the beach every day!

Great views and great location!
This was our first time in Carolina Beach. This place is in a great location, not busy at all. The condo is very spacious. The deck view is probably the best part though. You are so close to the beach! It’s not like a lot of places where you have to walk a long way to get down to the ocean. The beach is not wide in this area so when the tide is in, there is not a lot of space so take your chairs down first thing in the Morning. The parking spaces can be a little tight if you have a large vehicle and probably the only downside to the location is that there is not a shower or hose to rinse your feet off when coming from the beach. The shower is located at the pool, which is located across the street. Not much the owners can do about that. The Owners were great with communication and answered all of our questions very quickly. We had a great time here and will definitely come back to this location!

Great location and rental!
Property was in a great location and was exactly as shown in the pictures. I read one review that stated a concern on cleanliness. We found the property to be very clean. Also, because the property is pet friendly, I half expected there to be an animal smell, which was not the case at all. The property mgr was very responsive and very nice. Communication was excellent. We will definitely stay here again.

Nice place, beautiful view, not the best for dogs
We were very impressed with the condo itself! Loves: View of the ocean from the balcony, being steps to the beach, rain style shower heads (soooo nice!) Not so loves: We had pretty bad weather all week (nothing you can do about that), but the biggest frustration was having our dogs there because there’s really no good place to walk them so that was stressful. Overall, I think it’s a wonderful place to be for people, just not so much for the pups! Greg and Laura were very responsive and kind to allow a late checkout since our last day was by far the best weather day, and the condo management company was extremely quick to respond to a problem we had and very friendly! 🙂

Great location, but needs some care
Due to medical reasons for my large dog, I needed a location that had an easy way to enjoy the ocean view and beach. This did that for sure. However, the unit is not quite what it’s portrayed online. I’m am not new to VRBO on the island, but this is my least desired place. Arrived with previous guests dirty linens and no made beds. Rectified immediately- this was great. The living room is not the furniture in the picture. There is no futon as in description. The couch and loveseat were covered with furniture covering I’m guessing not designed for that style because the cushions would not stay on the couches. You sit down - they suck you up or cushions fall out beneath you plus overall don’t feel clean. The flooring regardless if i vacuumed, which I did, or broom clings on to sand. You wipe your feet on the inside mat - it was wet and made your feet dirtier. They advertise and show a picture of a full size washer/dryer - true, looks just like the photo. But, if you open the washer it’s ring and inside has mold on it. The unit structurally flooring isn’t level - fridge tilts as a result and just feels weird. But the constant wet feeling flooring with sand just feels grubby walking through. Lastly, not unit related was outside repairs happening on units above. Machine noise and which triggered my dogs - made for a difficult to work or enjoy ocean view. Plus, there was no prior notice, I would have changed my reservation to a diff unit, not good for dog at all.

You can’t beat the view from this condo! You are literally steps away from the beach. The deck has plenty of seating to accommodate everyone. The living room has 2 comfortable sofas and the beds were comfy as well. We did a lot of cooking and appreciated the well stocked kitchen. Just one thing to be aware of is that the parking is a tight fit for a full sized truck. We had a fabulous Thanksgiving!
