Rental unit in Carolina Beach
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 135 reviewsClean, cozy, lovely views, beach access, and more!
Our stay here was amazing. The location is perfect - beach access is right across the street and you can hear the ocean from your balcony! It’s close to everything in Carolina Beach but is in a nice, peaceful area. We appreciated having access to the beach gear as well. The inside was very cute, beachy, and clean. Overall it was a perfect little place for a getaway for two! P.S. make sure you see the sunrise here at least once if you can!

Emily was super responsive and nice when I had to call her when we checked in. We brought motorcycles and she was able to alert the property manager so they wouldn’t get towed without the parking pass. The location was fantastic. The tide was super high but we were able to access the beach by walking past the pier bar. We were thankful they had a couple of sand chairs for us to use, since we had to pack light. The shower could use some TLC but it was clean. Overall, a great experience at a great location.

We loved our stay at Carolina beach. We didn’t have to use our car after our arrival. We walked to the beach, restaurants, shops, arcade, and bars. We traveled with kids and we felt we had enough space and privacy. The place was larger in person than the pictures. We were very pleased and happy to come back!

Grant and Laura’s place was great! Had a few questions and we always received a response in a timely manner! It’s about a block from a public beach access. But close enough to hear it! Definitely recommend it! My wife really appreciated the necessities needed in the bathroom.

We recently stayed at this lovely Airbnb; it was everything I hoped for and more! The place was spotlessly clean, which made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The location is fantastic—just a short walk to the beach, making it super convenient for morning strolls and sunset views. We walked to the North End Cafe for lunch, which was great - a definite local spot, our favorite type of place! The host was incredibly welcoming and provided all the amenities for a comfortable stay. Overall, it was a fantastic weekend getaway, and we can't wait to return! We highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing beach escape!

Gordon’s place was exactly as described. He had a lot of kitchen and beach supplies already on hand which was a great addition. Loved that one side of the house has an empty lot beside it. The big porch has doors that latch shut so the dogs can enjoy the big porch safely. It was cleaned very well and there was no dog smell considering it’s a dog friendly accommodation. Would rent again!

The beach house had beautiful views, was extremely comfortable for our family, was spacious yet cozy. We appreciated the amazing deck and beach chairs; easy access to the beach was perfect for my older parents. Easy to get to restaurants and around/off the island. Everyone was able to relax and recharge. Definitely want to return!

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 158 reviewsBeachfront Condo, Steps to the Beach
This was a long weekend beach getaway for me and my significant other. It was perfect! Kellie and Russ's place was gorgeous, we could sit on the balcony and listen and watch the ocean waves, walk daily in the state park and sit at the private beach. The restaurants were wonderful, and the fishing pier was so fun to visit. We recommend the kayak trip to Shark Tooth Island which was 20 minutes away. Great location, private and pristine place! We will be back!

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 131 reviewsWeekend Seaclusion w/ Business Internet!
Jim and Nora were excellent hosts. They communicated so quickly. The condo is soooo clean and comfortable. Being a sea turtle lover, I felt very at home with the decor. This condo is so very close to the beach and made it so convenient for us to just go whenever we wanted. We brought binoculars and were able to see the comet each night right from the deck. The deck has an ocean view and a great place to sit and relax with coffee in AM and wine at night. We were lucky to have great weather. It was off season so Jim and Nora let us in earlier and let us leave later. What a great weekend at a beautiful place that had everything we needed! The hosts were so welcoming and generous! We will happily be back!
