About this property

Walk to the Boardwalk and downtown Carolina Beach! Oceanfront !

If you're looking for an oceanfront stay in one of the best locations on Carolina Beach with fabulous ocean views then look no further! Our unit is in the heart of Carolina Beach with walking access to the boardwalk, downtown, and local restaurants! Parking in CB is hard to find downtown and is pricey, so just park for the week and walk everywhere! We are steps from the Boardwalk and downtown eateries.

Enjoy coffee on the deck to sunrises, and beach access just 20 yards from our steps! Our unit is filled with sunshine and ocean views out every window! This preferred condominium will sleep up to 4 people (two on sleeper sofa) and is perfect for a romantic getaway or a small family. There is a space in the bedroom the perfect size for a pack and play, or toddler to sleep.

The gorgeous wide beach is just steps from our beach closet, which holds two "Tommy Bahama" chairs for your use, and we have a lifeguard station directly in front of us, along with great shelling and surf lessons right in front too!

The bedroom has 2 windows, one with a great ocean view, one facing sound side, and a queen bed. Multiple windows in the living area make it feel as if you are right on the beach! You can watch summer months, Thursday night fireworks from the deck, and the living room and deck offer a breathtaking, unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean and miles of beach. The sunrises are AWESOME!

Carolina Beach is the idyllic sleepy, friendly and safe little beach town, yet it boasts tons of activities to fill your vacation! Whether on a romantic getaway, or with the kids, the newly renovated boardwalk area, (which is a half-block from our condo) has something for everyone--swings to watch dolphins swim by, live bands, carnival rides, Britt's Donuts, and lots more! In the summer months, activities are scheduled every night, such as bingo, bands, and fireworks on the beach. Family movies are shown on the lake--also within walking distance--on Sunday evenings and are great family fun, as is a walk on the Kure Beach Pier, just down the road. This sleepy little town makes for a sweet getaway for couples as well with romantic nights on the deck, great sushi, and craft beers, and fun trips into Wilmington for tapas and touring.

The ocean view bedroom has a queen bed. Crisp clean sheets, fresh towels, and a fresh bathmat are provided with the cleaning fee, all in a tote when you arrive. There is a sleeper sofa with an air/coil mattress that can be adjusted to comfort in the living room. We keep our place immaculate, just as we would want if we rented, and as you should expect.

There are just nine units in our building, which is the closest building to the beach on the island. Our 3rd-floor condo (walk up! Keep in mind when booking) has panoramic views which are spectacular. There are no buildings or streets directly behind us so our building is very quiet. Great shelling and surf lessons right in front too!

Please see the pictures to see just how close we are to the newly renovated boardwalk area! Our condo has recently been redecorated, including fresh paint, flooring, and a new bathroom and appliances including washer dryer. The building has recently been painted.

We have 2 cable TVs, full wireless internet, and cable. Our deck has 2 pub-height chairs with a matching table where you can enjoy cocktails and view the fireworks! We have a storage closet at beach level, where you will find beach chairs, and be able to store your items safely. There is a ground-level shower just below the building. Just bring your beach towels and swimsuits, we have everything else you might need. We have two large designated uncovered parking spots with our unit (NOTE: no golf carts, boats, or motorcycles are allowed.)

There is so much to do at Carolina Beach! The North Carolina Aquarium is at the south end of the island next to historic Fort Fisher. Daily programs include divers who swim with sharks and a touching pond for the kids. Just north of our condo is the marina with daily departures on fishing charters, sunset cruises, dinner cruises, and boat rentals. A fifteen-minute drive takes you to the city of Wilmington. The historic riverfront downtown has brick streets, waterfront restaurants, loads of antique shops, horse-drawn carriage rides, the battleship NC, and fantastic restaurants. Day trips on the ferry to Southport are so delightful, as is a walk on the pier at Kure Beach! Tony Silvagni teaches all ages to surf right in front of our place. The Carolina Beach State Park hosts stand-up paddling and nature walks. Carolina Beach is bursting with new businesses, breweries, and great food.

You could literally park your car and never use it, as so much, including downtown Carolina Beach, is within walking distance of our place!

We hope you plan your stay with us! We do all we can to make your vacation wonderful. We include a tote with bed linens, bath towels and mat, and kitchen towels with your cleaning price. (PLEASE NOTE, this does not include comforters or blankets.) Please call or contact me with any questions. (There is no pool at our building)

****Please note before renting.... there is absolutely NO SMOKING/NO VAPING in our building at all, not on the decks, stairways, or on the property in general per our HOA. No pets are allowed, and no loud parties or music. This is closely monitored by the year-round residents, same with pets, no pets, and will result in eviction) Ours is a nine-unit building conducive to couples and small families.

We recommend a weekly umbrella rental (and surf lessons) with Tony Silvangi or Pleasure Island rentals.

Exceptional property and location

This condo is always clean, very well maintained and a great, comfortable place to relax. The location is perfect with walking distance to restaurants and centered between the piers for walks. Beach chairs and the wagon are great to have and umbrella rentals are super easy to get. This is our 4th stay and we’ll be back again.

The place was great. The only bad thing was the weather. It was cloudy/rainy the whole time and tropical storm Debby came so that kind of ruined the week.

About the host

Hosted by Lauren Rockwell

Host profile image
This condo has been 5 star rated with another owner for many years, and now has a new owner and management, and is freshly painted and ready to go!

Why they chose this property

I rented this property for my kids and I for almost ten years, and loved it so much, I decided to buy it! It is just that delightful. I always say, it's like being in a aquarium- with the ocean out every window. Even the deck, with two openings and cover, allows a cool breeze all day long. It's peaceful, clean, quiet and safe.

What makes this property unique

The feeling of looking out every window and seeing water and sunshine will astound you. The spacious deck allows for mornings with coffee watching dolphins and evenings watching the fireworks on the beach right in front of us, all with the safety and fun of the little town.
