What a fabulous stay! Everything you need is a quick walk (or drive if you prefer). Very pet friendly and comfortable. Publix is 5 minutes away by car. Lots of thoughtful touches, and you couldn't ask for a sweeter host. Felt more like staying at a friend's place in the nicest way. No need to rent beach chairs, or umbrellas. Highly recommend. We will be back!

Great location on the North End if you have pets. Corner store a block away makes a mean coffee and bacon, egg and cheese. Sunrise on the deck is a must. All this combined with an incredible host. We look forward to returning.

Everything was perfect. The weather was sunny, cloudy and windy mind you we went in September. It was easy to get to the beach with their private wooden pathway. Parking at the condo is small but not cramped. The interior matched the pictures online. It’s beautifully decorated. The couch is very comfortable and has plenty of space for 4 adult laying at the same time. The beds were comfortable and we had access to plenty of linens. Thank you. We loved it here. Also the patio was spacious! We enjoyed breath taking sunsets

Great stay!

We (4 adults and our dog) stayed 3 nights. The unit is pretty, clean, spacious and the pictures are accurate. The beach is a very short walk away on your own private walkway. We really enjoyed the deck. It was very quiet, too Everything worked. We appreciated that we could bring our dog, and that the furniture has covers on them.

About the host

Hosted by Alana McArthur

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Alana! Born and raised in Raleigh, NC, I’ve been lucky to call Carolina Beach my second home for as long as I can remember. My family has always had a vacation home here, and I’ve spent countless summers enjoying the island's charm. I even had the chance to live at the beach while attending college in Wilmington, where I worked my first job as a hostess at the Carolina Beach Marriott the year it opened!

Carolina Beach holds so much nostalgia for me, and I love that my two boys (11 and 15) now get to create their own cherished memories here, just like my sister and I did growing up. I’m excited to share our family’s favorite getaway spot with you and hope you fall in love with the island as much as we have!

What makes this property unique

Our property is truly special because it’s oceanfront and one of the few on the island with an oceanfront pool, offering unbeatable views and relaxation. It’s perfectly located just an 8-10 minute walk from the iconic Carolina Beach Boardwalk and the Seawitch Café, a local favorite known for its live music and excellent food. You’ll love the convenience of being close to all the action while still enjoying the tranquility of our beachfront location!
