We had such a wonderful time at Carolina Beach staying at this particular condo. The view was great. Spent a lot of time on the porch, especially when it rained and it was lovely. The accommodations were just the right size for my husband and I and our dog. We had friends visiting from Wilmington, so there was room for them to come and have a meal with us and share some time at the beach. The owner was very attentive and was easily reached. She wanted to make sure everything was in order and we appreciated that.

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!
