Great location for this condo

Very nice condo, walking to beach and entertainments, both rooms and beds are really comfortably and big, clean place and with all the amenities you need for either a peaceful getaway or to visit places near by. I would definitely stay again here when in Carolina beach. Only thing I would add is a half bathroom on the second floor. The condo has only one bathroom. Hosts were very prompt in responding any request, thank you guys!

Great vacation rental

This was a wonderful place to stay for our yearly beach trip! There was plenty of room and a nice small kitchen for preparing meals. The close proximity to several restaurants, bars, and the Boardwalk were very convenient. Beach access very close by. I will say though that the parking fees at Carolina Beach are ridiculous! But of course that has nothing to do with the condo. The small balcony was nice to sit on and enjoy the breezes. Especially loved that we were able to bring our dogs! Would definitely rent again.

Exactly what we needed

Carolina Dream was exactly what we needed for a quiet few days at the beach. Check-in was super easy and the property was very clean, well maintained. Very short 5 minutes walk to the beach. The propery was well stocked with all that we needed to cook some of our meals. We really appreciated the provided coffee and snacks. Our pets had a great time as well; the pet relief area on the side of the propertywas an added bonus. The furniture and beds were comfortable. The stairs to the upstairs bedroom are a little steep. This is not a criticism, just an FYI. We had a great little vacation and appreciate the opportunity to stay at Carolina Dream. thank you!

Super clean and cute! Loved the amenities the hosts offered if we needed. Bed was suuuper comfortable and I NEED to know what pillows they use cause I love them. The only thing I would change is the shower head. Loved this place and will stay here again if we come back next year!

Carolina Dream Get-A-Way

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Carolina Dream, the only problem was I thought there were two bathrooms and there was only one, this was entirely my error in reading the online listing. To have two toilets would be a huge bonus. Prior to our stay, I reached out several times to Joe and Michelle and they replied in a timely fashion. We definitely would stay there again BUT choose one of the units with two toilets. The bed was so comfortable and what was provided was beyond what we had hoped for, the walk to Carolina Beach was very doable. Kudos to an awesome vacation get-a-way!

Great getaway!

My husband, dog, and I had a wonderful stay at this rental property. The location is great and very close to the boardwalk, coffee shops, restaurants and bars. We also loved walking to the lake and having the walking path to exercise the dog. The rental unit is exactly as described and there were no surprises throughout our stay on this trip. We had a great time visiting Carolina Beach!
