Great location
Nice views right on the beach and easy walk to the beach. The only negative about being in the lower unit is hearing everything upstairs, however it wasn’t too bad with the people who were there, thankfully.

beach groove
We liked the unit just fine. It needed to be cleaned better. And when we arrived the shower in one of the bathrooms was broken and it was 2 days before it was fixed. That changed how we got ready for the day. We have yet to hear back about some type of reimbursement. We will go back to Carolina Beach but we will try another place.

Perfect Fit
Beachfront view from an entire wall of windows (living and dining areas). We kept those curtains open night and day! There is an ocean view past dunes covered with sea oats which we really enjoyed as it was so natural and we weren't looking at lots of beach umbrellas :) Happy that the bedroom with bunk bed also had a queen bed, perfect for our son and grandson. We loved the floor plan, open living area. We used the grill on the lower deck for two dinners and the fire pit for s'mores. Private walk over the dunes to a beautiful wide beach. Lifeguard stand very close by and lifeguard on duty most days. We did have to call Bryant Realty about folks walking under the house, through the gate and using the private walk as a beach access. Quite a few people cut through the lower deck surprisingly. Not great with children outside. Bryant said they would post a sign so hopefully they will and hopefully it won't be a continuing problem. Gave check in 4 stars for keys instead of key pad :( It's a short walk to the Carolina Beach boardwalk...Britt's donuts for breakfast, live music and fireworks on Thursday nights. Short drive to Biggers Farm Market where we got all kinds of fresh veggies, fruit and even meats and a key lime pie! Short drive to NC Aquarium, State Park with carnivorous plant trail, Paddle NC also near the marina in the State Park where we had paddleboard instruction. Lots of fun nearby this house but best of all, right on the beach to enjoy swimming in the ocean!

Awesome location and condo!
Enjoyed the area, location close to boardwalk-about a half a mile. Porch was awesome- 6 rocking chairs and picnic table. Spent a lot of the evening time on the porch.

User friendly but needs new cleaning company
Overall we enjoyed our stay. I do fill the description needs to be in larger font that it’s a duplex or shared property. While the property was fairly clean we did have to wash a lot of dishes as they seemed to be put up dirty and the coffee pot was full of burnt coffee. We had used razors and hair in all showers and sand on services. Honestly we thought someone was still in the home with the toys and sand laying around. The bedding that was on the bed does not feel or look fresh. We did have clean sheets and towels provided. You only get an hour after check in to look over property. By the time you’ve unpacked and settled it’s apparent what wasn’t to standard. While this property is user friendly if it were mine I would consider a different house keeping company.

Beach house right in the mix of it all!!
First time to this quaint, little town and could not have been happier! The property was clean, could have used a real deep cleaning, but clean enough. The layout is ideal for open space living with a modern kitchen, comfy family/gathering room, TV and dining table. The three rooms were not quite as comfy regarding decor, beds and linens. The two bathrooms are updated and clean. There are two outdoor showers which are very convenient and the sand path from the house takes you steps from the white sand beaches! The house location is a short distance to the boardwalk, multiple restaurants and conveniences. Loved most everything about it; just the beds, linens and room decor could use some updating!

Great Weekend!!
Great, oceanfront location. Clean property, with adequate space for 6 to 8 people. We rented the lower floor and didn't have a clear view of the beach due to the high dune, but that didn't affect our enjoyment. Thank you.
