Great stay would recommend!

The property is in a great location. There is a good view of the charter fishing boats and water. Several options for dining are available within a block as is the ocean. The hosts were very responsive and had quick communication about the property. It was very clean, well furnished, and equipped.

Beautiful and comfy condo in great location…convenient to many restaurants, shops, the boardwalk and night life, as well as just a short walk to the beach. Loved our stay, and would consider staying again and recommending to others. The host was also very easy to communicate with and answer any questions we had.

Fantastic trip!

The condo is cute, super clean and the location is perfect! I felt very safe with my teens. It was a short walk to pretty much everything we needed. The beach access was close and we were able to easily catch a couple of sunrises and sunsets. I didn’t need to reach out to the hosts until after we left, but they were easy to catch and had very quick responses. Thank you for a great stay! We will be sure to look you up or refer friends when traveling to Carolina Beach!

Amazing family vacation!

We visited Carolina Beach for the first time and this condo did not disappoint! You are close to everything! Steps from the beach, restaurants and right next to a bar with live music every night that we enjoyed from the balcony while the kids were sleeping. Speaking of balcony we had the best view of the fireworks on Thursday night! The pool was a huge plus when our two toddlers needed to cool down after the beach! The condo had everything we needed and we were even able to do a few loads of laundry so we wouldn’t have to do them when we got home. We can’t wait to bring our kids back soon!

About the host

Hosted by Carole and Greg Langheim

Host profile image
We are entertainers by nature. We love hosting family and friends. We also love the beach. It has been so special for our family, so we love sharing our properties with people in hopes they will create lasting memories at the beach.

Why they chose this property

We are originally from Chicago. We moved to North Carolina and flocked to the warmth of the beach versus the extreme cold we were use to. Carolina Beach appealed to us because of the vibrant entertainment, bars, restaurants and good old fashioned boardwalk.

What makes this property unique

Sunshine Daydreams is our little gem. It is in the best location - walking distance to everything! We have two parking spaces, which is key! We are steps to the beach, but also have a pool to enjoy. We felt this sweet little condo had everything we were looking for and are thrilled to be hosts.
