The apartment was perfect for what we needed. We wanted to stay in a quiet laid back place for a few days and that's exactly what True North provided. Will definitely be back. And Amy and Brandon were so helpful and answered any questions we had.
The condo was very nice and clean.It was also in a great location.The host had thought of everything and theyâre were a lot of nice touches like snacks and coffee.We had a great time and will definitely be back!
Me and my husband live taking what we call our daycations just getting away from our busy work life this was an amazing relaxing trip the rental was by far perfect we will definitely come back
We absolutely LOVED this place. It was so cute and perfect for our little family. My husband and I couldnât stop saying how cute it was. Very clean. Had everything you needed. Owners were super easy to communicate with and very hospitable!
How amazing is this !!! Clean clean clean !! It was perfect and enough space for me and my husband and pup. Communication with property owners were great, quick, and super friendly. Will def stay here again!
True North was an awesome place. The owner was very helpful. We were very impressed with the area. The Snow's Cut boat ramp is just a short walk away. Carolina Beach State Park or the Carolina Beach Boardwalk is about a 6 minute drive away. You definitely get your money's worth with this location. We are already looking forward to staying there again.
Amy was very helpful the property was exactly as the listing made it sound. No surprises. Very quiet neighborhood with little traffic on the street. The condo was well stocked with all the essentials with close by shopping and restaurants. Will be looking to do it again in the future.
We had such a great time staying at True North for the past few days. The space was perfect for me, my husband and our 2 dogs. The pictures are true to the space and I think itâs actually more spacious than I expected. The neighbors were friendly and the neighborhood is nice & quiet. It was nice to take the short walk to the boat ramp and enjoy the scenery. The check in/out process was very easy and efficient and we had great communication with the host. Thank you Amy & Brandon for our beautiful stay!
Lovely getaway, not haunted, sorry ghost enthusiasts JK
We stayed here for our annual fishing trip. The place was clean, cute, and the owners were in touch but didn't hover. We loved the loft. We had an exciting first night when the humidity made one of the canvas prints fall off the wall. Sorry to report, no ghosts for ghost enthusiasts.
Thanks for letting us stay at your place. We will be recommending this rental to others.
The condo was lovely. Our hosts were welcoming and helpful.They made us feel like family. From the lovely linens, to the tastefully decorated space.
We received a book on where the nice places were to visit.The condo is only 10 minutes fr Kure Beach and 4 or 5 min to Carolina Beach. Shopping...a hop skip and a jump. My husband and the boys went fishing. Caught a few bass.Made his day. Plus theres a lovely walking boat dock behind the building. It was lovely at night. We'd go back there in a NY minute.
This was a super clean, updated, cozy little get away. The
neighborhood was very quite....we loved all the boats turning at the corner to go to the boat ramp. It had everything we needed & our doggies loved it. Only two things I would like to mention is 1) There is some metal type holder sticking out of pole as you go up stairs closest to parking lot. With not much light, my mom ran right into it hard with her shoulder. You might want to get that taken down. Other is maybe more comfy chairs to sit in on the porch. Again we loved our stay and hope to come back!!
Hands down 6 stars! This was a much needed getaway for us, and was absolutely perfect for a beach weekend. The bikes were a HUGE perk, we literally didn't move the truck or pay for parking the whole weekend. All you need is a backpack and a small cooler and you're set for the beach. Walking or biking distance to the grocery store and Walgreens, beach, and restaurants. We so appreciated the water and snacks upon arrival, and checking in was super easy. The ice maker is awesome too! True North is immaculate, tastefully decorated and well maintained, and the location is perfect for beach, dining, shopping, boating. The neighbors are quiet and friendly. Parking is easy and convenient and the neighborhood is quiet. We do vacation rentals quite often to make a long distance military relationship work, and True North is absolutely on our list of top 3 stays. We will absolutely come back if we're in the area again!
It was a nice condo and we had a nice trip, but there was an overwhelming odor of cigarettes in the unit (i think a neighbor was smoking indoors) and many of the dishes in the kitchen were left dirty when we arrived. When I arrived back at home, all of my clothes smelled of cigarette smoke after only 2 nights.
I can't say I would consider booking here again- but it was not terrible.
I decided to change the scenery for my WFH situation and packed my pup up and headed to Carolina Beach! True North was the perfect size and felt so much like home. The neighbors were super kind and the location made walking my dog even better. True North is not far from the marina where I spent most mornings and evenings.
This condo does not sit on the beach, however itâs not far at all. While many people complain about paying for parking, I didnât mind driving to the boardwalk to visit the beach.
Amy is the best host and was highly communicative! Iâm happy I got to experience their amazing property and hospitality!
This place was very amazing and I will definitely be going back the owner communication was super awesome they were very accommodating to us and we will be staying again
This amazing little property was not only tastefully decorated but Had all the little things JIC you forgot! Amy and Brandon went above and beyond for us! Weâll be back
The rental was wonderful. Clean, cozy, great TV options, snacks etc. The trails right next to the dwelling is a wonderful surprise for both human and hound; the river is an added luxory. I wish the beach had been a bit closer, but having the state park right there was great.
I recommend this rental to all!
Thank you!

We had a very lovely time at Carolina Beach! Amy and Brandon were very gracious hosts, that provided excellent communication. This spot has every detail to make it special, and the location was perfect for us for hiking and canoeing. We just stayed two nights, but would have happily stayed many more! Thanks so much for sharing this space with us!!
Hello Travelers! My husband Brandon and I have lived in New Hanover County just shy of 20 years. We love this area and are happy that we can share a little of bit of it with you all.
