We loved everything about the condo. The location is near many nice restaurants , also, grocery shopping is conveniently near by. We found it very clean upon our arrival with plenty of linens to use. The balcony was perfect, making dinner very relaxing viewing and listening to the waves. The condo is very peaceful with many beautiful plants, especially the ones with the shells in the water. We plan to come back again next summer. Thank you for having us. Coco loved it too

Great location on the beach within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Had a wonderful AC which normally you wouldn’t think is a big deal but there happened to be a heat wave and it made a huge difference on our enjoyment of the vacation.

The condo was nice in many ways, such as the patio was well furnished and the beds were comfortable. However, it could have been cleaner, the bathrooms need to be updated and, in general, it didn't meet our expectations.

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 (13 and 17) 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!
