"Absolutely beautiful condo - spotless and very well appointed. It is spacious and does not feel cramped at all. Everything we needed in terms of appliances and utensils for cooking was there. The kitchen is very well stocked with all the necessities for cooking and the 2nd bedroom closet is full of beach chairs, umbrellas and items for the littles if you have them with you (high chair, pack-n-play etc). The beds were comfortable and the a/c unit worked great! The views are amazing and the location is walkable to the boardwalk or the pier. Lots of bars and restaurants within walking distance. We really had no major issues with anything and would definitely rent this place again! The only somewhat negative thing - and it's not a huge deal -but the bath towels are a bit of a bummer - small and scratchy, which for the price of the stay, we thought they should've been better quality. Overall 5 Stars! Thank you!"

The location is everything for a beach view and such easy access to the beach! The host were responsive with helping us locate the trash receptacles and about an air issue we were having! The listing photos are accurate and represent the listing well! Again we had a great time!"

"Zach was very friendly and helpful. We had to contact him for our lock and heat. It would be helpful in the winter if the heat was not set so low. It would have made us more comfortable and prevented 2 phone calls. Everyone at Carolina Beach Realty is very helpful. We will be renting from you again. "

"The condo was nicely equipped with everything we needed for our Thanksgiving stay. This was a first for our family, being at the beach for a holiday but it was perfect. They did a good job with the remodeling. We brought extra items for cooking but overall the place was stocked. (Need a dust pan & dish scrubber). We were lucky enough to have the entire building to ourselves. We will save this condo for future stays! "

"Perfect adult getaway - This property and area was perfect. It was close to various types of restaurants, ie fast food, take out, delivery, sit down, higher end, affordable budget... as well as various grocery stores. It was close to the beach to where if you had a large haul it was not too far away. The accommodations were clean, with a well equipped kitchen and very comfortable sleeping. I would highly recommend this for an adult getaway. We certainly plan on booking for any other upcoming getaways and even more frequently as enjoyable as it was! More of a 10 star!"

"Blue Skies - The condo was beautifully and tastefully decorated. The master bed is very comfortable but the pillows are too firm. The only thing that needs to improve is the amount of soap, dishwashing detergent, laundry soap and the paper towels and toilet paper plus the quality."
Allison

Thank you for your review, Karen! We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We only provide a starter roll of toilet paper per bathroom, a starter roll of paper towels, and one pack of dishwasher detergent to get our guests started. All other disposable items are for guests to provide. We hope to host you again soon!

"This place is a gem. It’s in a prime location, near great restaurants and the boardwalk, and the beach wasn’t mobbed because it’s mostly private access. Looks like an older building, but the unit has been totally remodeled and it’s beautiful. The bed is super comfy, the view from the oceanfront deck is unreal and the place is spotless. Recommend bringing your own towels. Towels are provided but they’re like motel thin— totally out of step with the otherwise luxe feel of this place. Also, it’s basically run like corporate housing, so there no bathroom extras like shower gel or shampoo and there are no leftover spices in the cabinet from other guests like in other AirBnBs. Just FYI, but definitely not a dealbreaker. Absolutely will be back! Thank you!"

"Our stay was a wonderful! The condo was clean, nicely decorated, spacious enough for our family of four, and had amazing views. Two areas of opportunity are: the master bedroom is warm compared to the rest of the condo and the deck, while amazing in the evening and at night is extremely hot during the day with no cover. "

The remodel of the bathrooms were very nice and we never ran out of hot water with four back to back showers. Comfortable beds and furniture. We would rent this condo again!"
