About this property

Oceanview and waterway view townhome, elevator, pool!

Welcome to Clam Shack at Carolina Beach. Relax on one of your two large decks and take in the beautiful views of the ocean on one side, and the marina on the other! You can enjoy your morning coffee watching the sun rise over the ocean, and then unwind your day with a cool drink while watching the sun set over the marina. We have everything you could want for your vacation, including a private elevator and lovely communal pool.

We are a two-story town home (top two floors) with everything you'll need for your beach vacation. With a short one-minute walk, you'll be laying on the beach soaking up the sun in the sand. When you get back, we have an outdoor shower for you to rinse off in or just stay right in the pool before heading up for lunch.

With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, everyone will be happy. We have two large primary suites with luxurious bathrooms and whirlpool tubs. We offer three covered parking bays that accommodate 4 vehicles and a private elevator, so you don't have to lug all your belongings up the stairs! With two large decks, everyone can enjoy the beautiful ocean views. What a wonderful place for your family and friends to spend their vacation.

When you first walk in you'll notice hardwood floors, stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, and plenty of room for everyone! Your toughest decision will be to figure out who sleeps in which room. We have TV's in the living room and all four bedrooms. There is an ocean view deck off the living room and another off the upstairs primary bedroom. They are both great places to sit and enjoy the ocean breeze. The dining area has a large table as well as bar stools and seats eleven people total. The slow pace of island life makes it easy to forget about your work deadlines, and soon you won't even remember how stressful your life is back home! With beautiful beaches, great seafood, and fun activities for the kids, you'll be glad you booked this home here on Carolina Beach.

Carolina Beach is easy to get to and once you cross over the bridge onto the island you'll instantly start to relax! We are a family-friendly beach town and offer live outdoor bands, fireworks, a boardwalk, fishing pier, restaurants, and a Food Lion, Publix and Walgreen's right on the island. While here, don't forget to head over to Britt's Donuts and have one or a dozen! They're a must for any visit to Carolina Beach and have been on the boardwalk since 1939. You can also visit the NC Aquarium and Fort Fisher Civil War fort and museum. Call us today, and we'll be happy to help you book your perfect beach vacation!

A pearl in the clam shell

We had a fantastic time at the Clam Shell! The house was very clean and comfortable for our three generations to spend time together while each had their own space. There is a full kitchen and multiple covered parking spots and it was only a mile from dining out. The elevator made it very convenient for my 80-year old parents. There were fireworks over the board walk that we watched from the balcony at night and we could see the ocean and the sound during the day. The beach and the ocean were just a short walk away. We had a very relaxing time and will visit again!

Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful views of the ocean & sound. While it was a duplex, it still had a ton of space. With each room having their own bathroom, it made for a more luxury experience for each guest. Mattresses were great & I slept really well. There are a lot of steps, but the elevator helped with my grandmother who needed help. It went down, but maintenance came to fix it a few days later. Only con is parking. You anbdoluelty can get your big SUV in, but be very careful. We scrapped the corner on ours. There is a spot on the side of the property that you can park at if it’s open & its right next to the door. Overall, we would book this pretty again. Thanks for having us!

Everything was great except for parking but we noticed parking was the same everywhere due to the houses on pilings.

Great stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a beautiful unit with 2 stories. The four bedrooms are spacious and all have a connected bath. Very clean. Love the decor. The elevator was a bit quirky, but probably because it was new to us. It was a Godsend as one of us has bad knees and had a 3rd floor bedroom. Easy walk to the beach! The parking is tight. Tough to get a large vehicle in there. A1 realty was very responsive to our needs when we called them. I would definitely come back.

Great family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spent a week with three generations of our family here during 4th of July week. Wonderful spacious home with all the creature comforts. Very well decorated too! We enjoyed being near beach and boardwalk. Having the pool was great for the kids. There are no beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, shades, etc so we ended up buying our own before the trip since weekly rentals were so expensive. Plan ahead of you think you’d want to do this. Would stay again!!

Very accommodating beach house

This home is exceptionally clean and very well stocked!! It is very accommodating for large groups! All 4 bedrooms are large and all 4 bathrooms are very nice and roomy! Each bedroom has a tv which is a major plus for families/groups who have kids, teenagers and for those who want to watch something specific all day! The house is beautiful inside and out! Oh yea the elevator is a life saver!! Can’t wait until we are back in Carolina Beach cause we are getting this house again!! And management was easy to communicate with; David was awesome throughout the process!

A fun week at Carolina Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We normally stay beachfront at Carolina Beach but decided to change things up this year. While not beachfront, the walk from the Clam Shack to the beach access is so short that we found it to be every bit as convenient. The four rooms were perfect for our three couples and two teenage children. The rooms and kitchen were clean and well furnished. We had plenty of room and seating for playing games and watching TV or movies. The elevator can be a bit tricky to use but was a huge help. The parking spaces are tight but they did fit all of our vehicles. We will definitely look at staying here again in the future!
