Wonderful!l

The condo was exactly like the description. A perfect quiet and clean perch with great views of the ocean. The beach access was closed directly in front of the condo so we walked down two streets and were able to access the beach. The place does not have an elevator so be prepared to carry all you stuff up several flights. Phew, I was tired by the time the car was unloaded so I don’t recommend for someone who has difficulty with stairs or accessibility issues. The bulb in the living room lamp had burnt out, but there was plenty of lightning for evening board games.We had a relaxing weekend and would stay again!

September Vacation at Carolina Beach

The space was just right. Great view from the 3rd floor deck or inside from the kitchen. Clean and comfortable. Owners made me feel like I was a friend staying at their beach condo.They left snacks, a filled medicine cabinet, plenty of towels, toiletries. Close to beach whichever way you choose to walk down Carolina Beach Ave.

Light packing beach trip

We came for the weekend for one last beach trip to close out the summer. Everything was clean, functioning, and well stocked. We usually have to pack all the extra beach gear, but found out it was all available at the condo (beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys). It may be a small thing but favorite part was coffee on the porch each morning, with the ocean view though a picture frame window.

Beautiful Place and View

I’ve stayed here twice in a row now, and had an even better time than the last. My sister came with me this year, and everything was perfect. We stayed for a little over a week and this was a nice place to relax in between outings to the beach. It’s on the quiet side of Carolina Beach which we love. You have amazing views and pretty quick access to the beach even with the access right across the street closed. We both spent a lot of time on the deck reading, looking out on the water, storm watching, and I even got lucky with dolphin sightings. It was a little dusty under the bed but that’s the only thing I could think of that would need improved. They supply a bit of snacks, coffee and hot chocolate mixes (which were amazing). I will definitely be back next year!

A week of weather.

So my stay ended up being smack in the middle of a hurricane. However while this was limiting in some regards, I enjoyed my stay. The condo was quaint, some corners a little small for a rotund man like myself. In particular the bathroom door from the bedroom that lead to the shower was a tight squeeze to get to the shower. But that is the only downside for myself. The view from the living room was nice,. Everything clean, ect.

Beach escape for 2

Perfect place for a getaway for two! The front patio has a great view of the Ocean and is perfect place a morning cup of coffee. The beach is only a 3-4 minute walk away. The house provided some beach gear, the games and umbrella really made the beach fun. The house was the perfect size for two. Would highly recommend for a weekend or week long get away.

Quiet piece of paradise

Property was exactly as described. Located in a quiet area yet close to the pier for music, drinks and food. The closest beach access was closed but the next access was right down the street and easily accessible to walk to with all your beach equipment. Parking was easy. The unit is located on the 3rd floor, no elevator but it was fine for us. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

Wonderful

Clean, well stocked, and fantastic view. Up 3 flights of outside steps with no elevator which we knew this when we booked. Worth it for a peaceful week away. Beach access about a block down made for some good walks on the beach every day. Low key quiet area.

We absolutely loved our stay at Pelicans Perch. The place was beautifully decorated and had everything that we needed to enjoy our days at the beach. The only thing we did not like was the long trek up the the stairs, the first time up was brutal lol. Did get easier as we did it, definitely got our heart rate up. Would stay here again.

Relaxing stay

This condo had everything we could need. It was spacious enough for our family of three. Just perfect. The stairs were a little much but we already knew before booking. The balcony was a favorite of ours when we wanted to see the ocean but out of the sun. I did hate that our beach access was closed but it's no fall of the property owner. We would definitely stay here again.

Slightly misleading

Beautiful place to stay, but probably wouldn’t do it again. The several flights of stairs to the room might have been worth it if I was able to access the beach. The pictures would make it appear that it’s a simple walk to the beach, but it’s not. The beach access is closed and there’s a row of large rocks blocking the entrance, so you have to walk several blocks to the beach. I think that is something that should be annotated in the listing because most people (I assume) are choosing to stay in this rental to access the beach. Aside from all that, the place had everything that I needed and there was lots of beach gear. Lacy was a great house; very pleasant and also let us check in at 1pm, which is 3 hours earlier than listed.
