I'm Mary-Katherine your host. I'm on the island most of the time and easy to contact via message directly in the AirBnB app.

If you don't already know, Carolina Beach is one of the best kept secrets in NC! You can ride your 4x4 on Freeman Park beach, walk or wheel to anything you will need to make your vacation unforgettable- World famous Britts donuts, so many amazing restaurants, many with roof top ocean views, a new top of the line Arcade, carnival rides, rentable bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, live music & fireworks on the beach, Saturday farmers market by the lake, movies by the lake on Sunday evenings, visit the Kure Beach pier and do some fishing, the list goes on and on!

This location is superb for being able to have some privacy off the beach but with ocean views and access merely across the street. Once your vehicle is parked, you have no need to get back in unless you want to visit Fort Fisher or the Aquarium or battleship in downtown Wilmington (which is also a fascinating destination in itself! There are sunset boat tours and deep sea fishing tours available across the street as well. Our beach, unlike most in this area, has lifeguards and terrific businesses where you can rent chairs, umbrellas, etc. which can be set up for you in the mornings before the heat sets in!

Location was perfect, the beach is just across the street, along with a taco restaurant (food was really good) and a convenient store. The condo was clean and nice very well stocked with essentials and extras. My only complaint was the bathroom shower in the main bedroom was so so small l could barely turn around and the fixtures were old. Other than that, I would recommend.

Thank you for making our quick trip to Carolina Beach enjoyable. We appreciated all the extras and being so close to the boardwalk for the weekend event. We will definitely book again.
