We had a great time on our stay, the location was perfect! Loved both front and back decks, the view was so lovely. The online descriptions and pictures were accurate. It was helpful to read the comments of others so we were prepared for the stairs. It took us an awhile to figure out which pool was ours but once we did it was nice as there was a hose to clean off the sand.
Beautiful condo, amazing ocean view! Absolutely loved the short walk to the beach! The balcony is so nice, we enjoyed several meals out there! The place looks and feels clean. Pools are a bit inconvenient to get to. Stairs leading up to the unit, are rough, get prepared for a workout, especially bringing your luggage, groceries, etc. up stairs. Pack your own blankets, we werenât able to use the blankets provided, they were thrown in a closet, clearly not washed between guests since they smelled. Pack toilet paper, hand soap, trash bags, none of that is provided. Other than for those few things, we really enjoyed our stay.
Nice property, good location and pools. The only drawbacks were 3rd floor and no elevator,(this was clearly shared in the location write up) and only 2 parking passes, not clearly communicated in write up.
Carolina Beach has always been a selected destination for us. The property had many positives but also some negative details. Proximity to the Beach was awesome. No noise, and tranquil neighbors. The location is too far away from entertainment and restaurants. Need a vehicle to reach dinner places. The apartment was spacious yet cozy. The Beach view from the balcony was very welcome. Some negative aspects: The internet service signal was so poor, none of the streaming devices worked. Cable did not work in the living room TV. The previous bed linen had been left in the sofa beds and appeared used and dirty. Had to change them both with the provided linen. The bed mattresses were of poor quality and extremely hard to sleep in. The kitchen had very limited things. NO ONE xtra trash bags were provided. A huge negative aspect was parking. Even though we had 2 parking permits, there were no spaces left on the busy holiday weekend. We had to pay street parking several times even though we had paid for our stay on premises. Suggestion is to have assigned parking spots. Another detail is the far away office where we needed to pick up the parking permits and key fobs. That was inconvenient and inpractical.There was NO outside grilling capabilities. The pool was extremely small and crowded. Not very inviting or healthy.Overall, we made the best of the situation and had a fantastic stay âmaking lemonade out of lemonsâ!!
The place was perfect for us and the location was great too!
The only problem is parking space. You are only allowed (2) parking spaces. If you have more than that, you have to pay for "public parking" which is about $20.00/daily.
We enjoyed our weekend stay at this condo. It was very clean, recently updated and nicely furnished. The two balconies and ocean view were great! The only negative is the narrow hallway and stairs to the third floor :)
Staying at Carolina Beach was so relaxing and this condo offered a beautiful non-ocean front view. The condo was well stocked and beautifully decorated. The husbands only complaint was no satellite tv to watch his car shows. đ Great place to stay!
We had a wonderful time enjoying our family beach trip. The condo was plenty enough room for my immediate family of 5 and my sister, my niece and my mother. The porches provided awesome sunrise and sunset views. Access to the beach is literally right across the street. The kitchen provided everything we needed to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner. The mattresses were comfy, even the sofa pullout! We will definitely be back!
The only downside of this unit would have to be the stairs. Walking up and down with groceries was not fun. Otherwise, the location is great and the views of the ocean and sunset from the decks were nice. The listing indicated 2 pools were available but upon check-in was only told about one. This wasnât a huge problem because the pool wasnât occupied by more than a few swimmers at any time. This unit had everything our family of 6 needed and was clean and comfortable. Itâs a short walk to the pier, beach access, and pool but may be too long to the boardwalk. Highly recommend the Mahi sandwich from the pier restaurant as well. Overall a great stay!
The condo was very clean and had everything inside we needed. The view of the ocean was awesome and the short walk to the beach was great too. You do have to pick up keys and drop off keys to the property management company which was about 7 minutes driving. Not a big deal at all. Property management was excellent, very attentive! They did say there were beach chairs and they only had one that was not broken which was disappointing since there were four of us. All in all it was a great stay.
Overall, it was a nice property. It was a good size for four people and had some great attributes.The view from the balcony was by far the best part. You could open the slider and hear the ocean so well. The kitchen was also great with all appliances you could need to cook. Everything seemed clean enough, and all towels and linens were wrapped in cling wrap to show they were cleaned.
However, some pieces of furniture need replacing- the queen bed did not feel stable at all and the black couch in the living room had zero support when sitting down, which only made one of the couches reliable to actually sit on. The bathroom in the hallway, during the shower the water doesnât drain right away, so all the little hairs and dirt in the drain come up and fill up the tub.
Other than those things that need to be updated, it was a good stay in Carolina Beach.
I loved it here! We're already planning our vacation for next year. It was clean and the kitchen is extremely well stocked. We loved the balcony view also. We used the public accesses to the right (if looking at the water) which was about 30ft. It was not far at all. Their was another to the left but it had been washed away by a previous storm and was closed. This place sits towards the end of the 'strip' which we loved - less traffic. I would recommend this place to friends and family. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of the big 5 is the bed in the master. It wasn't awful but... It has one of those egg carton things as the topper already on a (I believe) a padded topper. It was a bit much but we left it in fear of not knowing what it was like if we took it off. Also it squeaks really loud at the slightest move or rollover. by the 3rd night we figured out how to maneuver some pillows for a different support... Other than that we honestly loved this place. They answered any question I had right away.
Check in process was super simple, property was just as advertised and was in a perfect location.
We loved that you could see the ocean from the balcony and the beach access was just a couple minute walk.
Property was clean and all linens were provided. Is also a short drive to the boardwalk and within walking distance of the pier. Would definitely stay again!
This place was exactly what we needed. Great condo and location. The beach view was awesome. We have never stayed where we could hear the ocean from our condo. We left the balcony door open most of the time.
The unit was excellent. Nice view of the beach. We had dinner on the balcony most nights. The Managent was very responsive. The only reason for a 4 for cleanliness was the old, carpeted and not so clean staircase leading to the condo. Otherwise I highly recommend this unit.
Our family had an amazing vacation! This property was exactly as advertised with excellent amenities. I highly recommend this property for small families.
