Location

Beautiful view from this condo and it's in an excellent location to spend time with family and enjoy the beach and local activities. A few small fixes will make it even better--If they put a sign on the main door by parking, to show which one goes to all the condos. That would save a lot of confusion on initial arrival as well as the parking which is confusing because the back two units have to pull all the way to the back and enter and exit on the side. There is a diagram on the stairwell but cars can easily block each other in without knowing. Perhaps send the diagram on booking so people know where to park.Only 3 wine glasses and 5 mugs. Tons of dish liquid but not any dishwasher liquid so that could explain why the dishes where dirty when we arrived. No doormat inside unit to catch sand.Rugs inside bedrooms are stained and need cleaning or replacing.Overall, the family loved it and slept well and had a great time. We would love to go back again!

Lovely three bedroom condo. Our family had a wonderful time staying here. Everything was great except the stairs.

Location is great. The layout of the condo is perfect for a large family. Well stocked on kitchen supplies (did not use them). We had a wonderful time. I hated all the stairs to get to the top floor. The sofa needs to be cleaned.

Very happy with our stay, great location, very close to the beach (2 minute walk), great views from the patio. There were some very minor cleaning issues, ex. The couch was stained abd had sand all over it but again its a beach house so sand is expected and the shower curtain liners were slimy. But we were very happy woth our stay! Very easy check in/out process and had zero issues while we were there. Looking forward to visiting again!

I loved this place, so close to the water and everything we wanted to do while on vacation. We will definitely be back next year. The only minor inconvenience was the beds were kinda hard, that was more a personal preference.

We had a wonderful stay. Would love to just live there.

It’s a nice place to stay, it is oceanfront and it was big enough to accommodate my family It could have been cleaner and the patio furniture was broke and the tv in the living room was busted when we arrived other than that we loved it

Condo was just as described. Beautiful view. Beds comfy. Shower hot. Finding the front door was challenging as all 4 condos share one stairwell. Kitchen was well equipped though the forks were tiny. A great overall stay

Great for our group

We were celebrating the 19th birthday of my granddaughter, and our group included her 2 brothers, her best friend, and for part of the time, her mom. The location was great, just a short walk to the beach. Although it is on the 2nd row, there was no house between us and the ocean, so we spent lots of time on the deck watching the waves. It was nice to have 2 parking spaces. If you plan to eat in a lot, you may want to bring any special pots or pans you'd need, although we easily made do with the provided ones. If you don't want to climb stairs to the 2nd floor, this may not be for you. But all in all, we enjoyed the casual laidback vibe of Carolina Beach and this home.

The overall experience was a good one. There are a lot of stairs to climb so be aware. There was no direct access to the beach which is no fault of the condo. The condo itself was topnotch. 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. All the kitchen essentials were provided. Great views of the ocean from the deck.

I’ve stayed with Carolina Beach Realty before and I’ve always had a great experience. I know that this place you recently acquired so I just wanted to tell you about our experience. There was only one extra roll of toilet paper for three bathrooms, and zero hand soap anywhere. We had to purchase our own toilet paper, hand soap, and trash bags to accommodate. Otherwise, the place is very clean and we had a great time. Thank you.

This Airbnb was more spacious than other airbnbs we have stayed at in Carolina Beach which was really nice. The view was amazing! The kitchen didn’t have many supplies such as pans, Tupperware, aluminum foil, dish soap, etc. We also had to buy hand soap for the bathrooms when we got there. The WiFi was pretty slow and the two closest beach access points were closed.
On the plus side the living room was big and spacious, and the view of the ocean was excellent. The beds were very comfortable. We would probably stay here again!
