Best Beach Getaway

This was a great beach spot for our weekend trip. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony listening to the waves and walking to all the local restaurants and boardwalk. The condo was spotless and comfortable for our group of four. Highly recommend!

Carolina Beach Trip August 2024

Our stay was very enjoyable! The condo was very clean and very well stocked with essential items with a very nice view. Very accessible to the boardwalk and other local amenities. The only negative thing about our stay was having only one elevator in the complex which was on the South end of the property, while we were located on the North end of the property.

Great location

Very easy to access and get too! The only complaint would be the front bathroom tub and as hard to use because of the knobs other than that it was a great condo! Lots of space for us 4 a nice little kitchen and I enjoyed the freezer having an ice maker! Our kids loved it they walked in and was so excited about it and how they had there own bathroom!

Nice Location

Stayed here with my husband and 6 year old. Location is very convenient/easy access to beach and boardwalk. Accommodations were as described. Easy check in and check out process. Only complaint that I communicated was that the shower heads should definitely be replaced. But other than that, it was as expected.

Family vacation

You can not beat the location! Steps from boardwalk. We only drove twice and that was to pick up a few extra groceries. Otherwise, we walked to dinner/dessert/drjnks/games every night. Condo was great for my family of 4. Only complaint would be the washer is very very loud. We only ran it when we went to the beach or pool as you could hear it all through the condo. All in all it was a fabulous week. Thank you!

Beautiful place at the coast

Our vacation could not be better than this oceanfront place in Carolina beach! We loved being just steps away from a vibrant array of dining, shopping and activities after a long day on the beach or at the pool. The condo is bright, beautifully updated with modern finishes and tasteful decor. The kitchen is stocked and the beds are equally impressive. The rental management company’s communication is subpar to none. The place is a true gem, blending convenience at the coast with a beautiful, clean, modern condo experience.
