So impressed with this rental. It had everything needed, including beach chairs and umbrella. Super clean. Location is perfect. Plenty of food and ice cream shops directly across the street. Boardwalk is less than a five minute drive or a 15 minute walk.

Beautiful Condo/Great Location

Thank you for a wonderful stay! The condo is beautifully decorated, relaxing and perfectly located with enough space for our family. Well stocked with kitchen items as well as beach chairs, mats, etc for great beach days. We love that we can walk straight out to the beach or the pool. Our second time visiting and we are already discussing next year. Thank you so much!

The property was very nice and the location was close to the beach, the pool, and a short walk from the boardwalk area and any other place we wanted to go. We didn’t drive our car for five days at one point. The condo is spacious enough for a family of 5. We really liked the town and places we went out to eat as well. Felt like it was still a local community that had not been taken over by the tourism industry yet. Only thing that caught us off guard were many places were cash only or added a 3.5% surcharge if using the credit card, so we regret not bringing more cash.

Perfect!!!!

Beautiful remodeled condo. Owners are wonderful. We felt at home with all of the amenities that the owners provide. Beautiful oean view from deck, private beach access and pool. Sand Pebbles is family friendly and residents and guests were all so nice. Another plus is the condo is just up one set of stairs, making it easy to and unload. Condo is beautiful and very clean. We have stayed twice and will book again.

Such a great condo

I planned this vacation, we've never used vrbo before my fiance was terrified and she wasn't sure what we were going to run into LOL. we walked in and the place was GREAT super clean decorated awesome had everything that you would need if you were living there and more. Our son loved the pools you literally walk right out to the beach the owners were amazing we did have an AC issue but it was fixed in just a few hours that was very impressive to us. We got our deposit back in a timely manner also. Can't say enough great things about the condo, the owners and the location we will definitely be back

Beautiful condo

This condo was perfect. Super easy check-in process, no need to travel to a rental office. Unit was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Great view of pool and ocean. Easy beach access. Walking distance to many great restaurants and Carolina Beach Boardwalk. The master bedroom TV wasn’t working and the owners were super responsive and had a replacement the following morning. The beach area outside the complex was not crowded, lots of space to toss a football. You can tell the owners take pride in their unit.

Awesome Acccomodations!!!!!!!!

I highly recommend staying here. It was our first time visiting Carolina Beach and didn't know what to expect. Our condo was perfect, we had 6 adults and a five yr old. 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and the pull out couch were exactly what we needed. My grandson loved the top bunk bed. We slept on the pull out bed and surprisingly it was comfortable!! The view of the ocean was breathtaking. It was a short walk to the private beach. It overlooked 1 of the 2 pools which was awesome as well. We loved it and will definitely be coming back!! Owners were great and kept in contact throughout the whole process!!

Best family vacation ever!

I can’t say enough about this entire experience. This was our first family vacation ever and it did not disappoint. The process of booking was so easy and seamless. The communication with the owners of the property was timely and accurate. I felt as if I was speaking with friends. The location of this property has an amazing view of the ocean and overlooks the pool. Anything you need is either walking distance or a short drive. The condo checked all of our boxes as far as amenities! They have made so many improvements and I can’t wait to see what they do next. We penciled ourselves in for next year already. I did this as we were leaving to come home! First of many family vacations in a wonderful location, fantastic atmosphere and excellent experience!

Condo wasn’t very clean, lacked basic kitchen ware, no ice maker, gates broken, etc.

Loved the area and the beach. Condo had updated bathrooms but showers wouldn’t drain, no toilet paper holders, or places to hang your towels. Furniture in the family room was uncomfortable and there wasn’t enough furniture for 5 people to sit. Kitchen lacked basic utensils and cookware. Carpet needs replaced. Deck was very enjoyable. Paint cans in the kitchen cabinets is unacceptable, For the rental fee I expected more than what this condo offered.

A beautiful place!

The condo was as presented and described on the site. The unit looks to have freshly painted walls and is beautifully decorated. All appliances are in excellent working order. The owners respond fast and are very helpful. The check-in and check-out process is clearly defined and easy to understand. The location is great as it is close to the boardwalk and other restaurants, Squigley's Ice Cream & Treats was our favorite! The facility as a whole is well kept up, the fencing and gate around 1 of the pools was being repaired while we were there, the pools are kept very clean. The folks that seem to live there regularly were very friendly. The owners plan to do more renovations with the kitchen and flooring. Overall we had a great stay and hope to stay again in the future. Things that were beyond the owners control and did not affect my review of the condo but may be helpful to travelers: Parking can be a little tight depending on the size of your vehicle. The building does not have an elevator so I would not recommend the facility for anyone traveling with an individual bound to a wheelchair.

We had a great family vacation! First time staying at this condo but won't be our last. Such a nice, spacious condo - plenty of room for our family. Had everything we needed and a short walk to the beach. There were a lot of cars but parking never seemed to be an issue for us. We did need to communicate with the owners for a very small issue but they were very nice and responsive. Highly recommended!!
