Good Times and Tan Lines -Best of both worlds- Beach and Pool

This 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo in Carolina Beach has fantastic ocean views. It is decorated with neutral coastal colors and bright decor. You will feel right at home with the comfortable furnishings and fully equipped kitchen.

The living room has a smart 50” flat screen TV allowing guests to log on to their accounts to stream from Netflix, Hulu, and other apps including free Wi-Fi for the entire unit. You will find a Queen sleeper sofa with memory foam mattress and access to the front balcony with great ocean views! The spacious balcony has a large table to enjoy your morning coffee as the sun rises, a family dinner or a quiet evening drink.

The unit has been updated to make your stay as enjoyable and relaxing as possible with bath towels, new bedding and a fully furnished kitchen which includes refrigerator with automatic ice maker, glass cook top stove with a full size oven, microwave and a ultra quiet dishwasher. Gather around the dining room table that easily seats six for a seafood dinner or family game night.

The private master bedroom has a King pillow top bed, a full master bath with walk in shower, smart flat screen TV. A patio door leads to a separate balcony that faces west for gorgeous sunsets.

The guest room features a Queen bed, a portable crib and dresser and TV/DVD Combo.

The main bathroom located right next to the guest room includes plenty of storage space for your personal items, a tub/shower combo, bath towels and a washer and dryer.

Across the street, you will find the public beach access that will take you directly to the ocean where you can watch schools of dolphins just offshore, fish, surf the waves or just sit and soak up the sun.

Below the unit located in the outdoor closet are beach chairs for adults and children, a beach mat and plenty of sand toys including boogie boards to play in the surf for your enjoyment.

This unit includes parking for 2 vehicles in the parking lot behind the building. The pool is next door which includes an outdoor shower to wash off the sand as you come back from the beach.

One mile south of the condo is the Carolina Beach Boardwalk which was named one of the top boardwalks by the Food and Wine magazine. It features numerous shops and restaurants! Be sure to stop at the famous Brits Donuts and hit the amusement park rides.

You can head a few miles south on the island to find Fort Fischer Historic Site and recreational area, the North Carolina Aquarium or the ferry to Bald Head Island and Southport. The island also features a 761-acre State Park that is home to a rare and beautiful Venus Flytrap along with many nature trails, marina and campsites.

Just a few short blocks north of the condo is the Carolina Beach Fishing Pier that features an outdoor tiki bar and Freeman Park where you can kick up some sand four wheeling, surf the waves or camp overnight.

The main marina on the island is just a quick drive from the condo with daily departures on fishing charters, sunset/dinner cruises and boat rentals. There is a kayak launch on the Intercoastal water near by.

Carolina Beach is alive with festivals and concerts all summer long. The summer features a Thursday night firework display while Sunday night is movie night at the Lake. During the off-season annual events include Boardwalk activities such as Christmas by the Sea and the Island of Lights Festival. There is so much to do that you will want to stay at least a week!

For more added adventure, Wilmington is only 20 minutes away where you can take in the sights of the Riverwalk downtown river district along the Cape Fear River. Wilmington was voted the America’s best riverfront and rivals Charleston and Savannah for its southern charm and history. We hope to see you soon!

Prefect spot close to the beach!

This was my best VRBO experience so far! The condo was very clean & they provided more than we ever needed. Lots of towels, kitchen gadgets & beach stuff too! Check in was very smooth. This is a very short walk to the beach & a small drive to the boardwalk. Lots of great restaurants just a few minutes by car. Loved having the two balconies & two bathrooms!

Extremely cozy condo by the ocean

Everything about this condo was welcoming and comfortable. The beds are so soft we didn’t want to leave. Everything was very clean. We really appreciate the thought put into the little things kept at the condo from board games and toys for the kids to the aloe gel in case of sun burn from the beach. The view is amazing, just steps from the beach. We had a really great visit!!

Amazing place!

This place was perfect! Right across from the beach and so close to everything!! The owners where quick to respond to any issues. The internet was down the first few days due to the storm, and they worked hard to fix the issue quickly! Even giving us some money back bc of the inconvenience (which honestly was not much of one) We had 3 adults and 2 children and it was the perfect size for us! I highly recommend this place and we would stay here again in a heart beat!

Great weekend

When we arrived you could smell the cleanliness as soon as you walked in. The family room and very comfortable furnishings and the view was amazing. The whole place was very welcoming and clean. Everything we needed was made available and we did not have to worry about anything. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very clean and ready for our stay. We had a great girls weekend! We would recommend this location to anyone. The owners were very responsive and willing to answer any questions.

Perfect beach location for family!

We had an excellent experience at this vacation getaway. We loved the easy access to both the pool and the beach for our family of five (kids ages 8-14). We had use of beach chairs and sand toys that were provided. We enjoyed morning coffee on the porch and an evening swim in the pool. The beach was an ultra short walk from the property and was easy to carry supplies to and from!

Great location and view!

From the moment we walked in, we knew we picked the right place. Everything looked and smelled so clean. The location was perfect—right across the street from a beach access and close to many restaurants and activities. The instructions were perfect and checking in and out was so easy. Every detail was covered by the hosts and we didn’t have to worry about anything at all. We would definitely stay here again!

Vacation

We had a great time at the condo! It was the perfect location to the beach, especially having a little one that needed a nap. The owners provided some great beach toys and chairs :) We were just a walk or short drive from delicious meals! Overall we loved our stay and can’t wait to go back!

Great Place on a budget

This renovated clear 2 bedroom was perfect for our last minute stay. Although not on the ocean, access is very close and convenient. The over sized covered front porch makes for comfortable happy hour or that morning coffee. The hosts were easy to communicate with before and during our stay.

Was a cute spot right on the beach

It was many flights of stairs to the near top of the condo. There was no air flow in the stairwell. We were drenched in sweat bringing up our things. We tried to adjust to air to cool the place at 70 degrees at least. And it was set on auto or something. Kept shooting up to 77!.... which is never a “comfortable” summer setting. Needless to say my group was very uncomfortably hot the entire stay. Besides that, the house was very cute, clean and well decorated.

Home away from home

Very cozy beach house, close proximity to everything Carolina Beach has to offer. Very clean and organized, easy communication with owners, spacious and relaxing. Two minute walk to beach was awesome, rented chairs and umbrella from Pleasure Island Rentals made the trips back and forth to the beach very easy. Would definitely recommend a stay here, we will be coming back...

Our march visit

Our communications with the owner were excellent. Wish every place was handled that well. Location of property was great and the info provided for our time there was very helpful. Good beds and cute decorations. Kitchen could use a little more storage for food esp if you are there for more than a few nights. Had a great weekend getaway- thank you.

Schmitz from Wisconsin

My husband and I stayed in this condo for two weeks in February 2020. We really enjoyed this rental. We wouldn't hesitate renting here again. It was very clean, quiet and roomy. You do have to be able to walk steps because it is located on the second floor, however, the steps are not steep and are very manageable. From the front balcony we were able to see the ocean and also hear the ocean waves. This large balcony has comfortable chairs and a table. The refrigerator, stove/oven, dish washer and microwave are very modern. The owners are very helpful. Anytime we emailed them they answered very quickly. We certainly would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a vacation home.

The perfect Home away from Home.

This property exceeded our families expectations. It was spacious and had very comfortable beds. The view from the kitchen sink was breathtaking and the walk to the beach was just a few steps. Would definitely visit again! Until next time Carolina Beach!

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly and Steve Gernetzky

Host profile image
I grew up in Southern Virginia and have vacationed up and down the east coast and Carolina Beach is one of my favorite places. I couldn't wait to share it with my husband who is a Midwesterner. We vacationed there 5 years ago and my husband loved it so we decided to purchase our own place to get away from the Midwest winters and share it with others when we are not there. We hope you enjoy the area as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Close proximity to the beach, beautiful view of the ocean, one of the top boardwalks in the nation, many restaurants and attractions within minutes.
