My group of girlfriends and I absolutely loved this property! It was clean, spacious and convenient for all the activities we planned for our weekend getaway at Carolina Beach. The elevator was a game changer for getting our luggage in and out easily, and we loved having 3 bathrooms for getting ready. The views from both porches were spectacular and we were lucky enough to see the fireworks on Thursday night. Instructions and communication were clear and easy to understand checking in and checking out. Excellent property!

Spacious and clean beach getaway! We had a family of 5 and there was more than enough space for everyone. We loved that we could walk to majority of the restaurants and the boardwalk, it took maybe 10 minutes with kids who walk slower. If you're there on a Thursday this is a great house to sit on the deck and enjoy the firework show. Just a note that the path to the beach does have some small steps, so if you have a wagon there is not a ramp at this entrance. Overall, this was a very relaxing place to stay. Great views of the ocean and the boats on the other side of the house. Some street noise at night, but not as much as I expected being closer to the boardwalk. The hosts also do a good job of explaining how to use the elevator.

Really enjoyed my stay at the Penthouse. Meghan was very friendly and we only had one problem while we were there and she responded right away and took care of the problem (a lose hurricane shutter).One area of improvement would be for nicer pots and pans and cooking utensils in the kitchen. All in all though it was a lovely place and the views of the ocean were great!!

Enjoyable long weekend

The condo was incredibly clean, especially considering the location near the beach. Had everything we needed and wanted for a relaxing, enjoyable trip. The elevator was a little tricky, although nice to have for the less mobile of our group and for getting luggage and groceries in / out.

Great location, walking distance to anything you need. I would call the middle room without balcony access the master. If kids stay in the 2 guests rooms they access the balcony/exit, not a closed in balcony. It worked for us but I’m sure some would prefer a different setup.

We really enjoyed our stay. Carolina beach had a lot to offer, and the host was so very helpful and very responsive. The elevator was very easy to use and for those booking and looking at the video of how to work the elevator, that video is out of date as the door/floor numbers have changed and the latching system has been upgraded. The only real complaint I have which keeps this booking from a 10 of 10 is the decor and the mattresses. The decor is mixed from the 1980's pineapple theme vs mermaids which date unit. They have carpets covering the top of the bedside stands and coverings over the furniture which is dingy. I am sure it protects the furniture, but it is not a high class look. The master bed and other beds are very noisy. I am not sure if the host of this property has recently sat on the bed, but you can't sit or move around on the bed without a making massive noise. So, if you turn over in your sleep expect to be woken up. The pillows are covered in a plastic wrap just like much of the furniture in the home which is another oddity. What we all really enjoyed, there was plenty of space. The beach access and beach quality was really great. The deck space was very enjoyable. The location, proximity to the boardwalk was so very convenient. You really don't need to drive anywhere once there but if so every amenity, grocery stores, dining, etc. are all within 5 minutes. We traveled with 3 adults and one child. We all agreed we would rent here again and rate it a 7.5

Penthouse Vacation

We planned our first family vacation to the North Carolina shore. The penthouse checked all of our boxes for location, bedrooms, bathrooms, living space and price. Traveling with kids, teens and adults we needed a place that would keep all parties happy and comfortable for a week. Very pleased to say the penthouse passed with flying colors. Very easy beach access, short walks to many restaurants and the boardwalk. Christine was very easy to communicate with during the booking process. I really appreciated her simple directions to make check-in and check-out smooth. If you are traveling to Carolina Beach for a family vacation the penthouse should be at the top of your list!

Great spot on Carolina Beach

As if any review there are always pros and cons… Starting with the pros - The condo is in a great spot or Carolina beach and very close to the beach itself. The owner was very quick to reply and explained the rules / supplied all needed information in good advance. The condo itself was nice and clean and also had a nice porch with a view (after all it is the top floor!). And parking can accommodate two cars covered which was nice as well. A couple of cons which may or may not be important to some but it’s always worth mentioning for those considering this property - The master bedroom bed was extremely uncomfortable, and if you moved at all, you had loud sounds from the box spring. Additionally, (and I understand the reasoning) the pillows provided had a protectant cover on them which made a “crinkle” sound when moving around. It also made sleeping on them a little hotter than your typical pillow. I would recommend to bring your own. The only other con is regarding the elevator. While the description mentions an elevator in the property, expect to only use for loading/unloading. If you don’t follow the directions exactly, it leads to the elevator not working and a $500 fee to fix it. Based on all the warning stickers, you also need someone to assist who isn’t taking the elevator to close the outside door after the people riding properly close the according door. For most, this isn’t an issue, but we had elderly people who just had back and knee surgery so that lead to a little disappointment. Overall, I’m sure most folks would love this place! For me, a couple tweaks and it would be 5 stars.

Hi Mike, I'm so glad that you enjoyed your stay at the Penthouse! Yes, it does have awesome views, is very clean and nice; great parking, and so close to everything!! I appreciate your comments, as they always help for the next guest. I am so sorry you found the bed in master bedroom uncomfortable; as it is new, very expensive, great quality mattress. VRBO highly recommends using pillow and mattress protectors for cleanliness and sanitation concerns to provide benefits for all guests staying at the Penthouse. In regards to your elevator comments, I apologize for any misunderstanding concerning the usage and operation of the elevator. You did not incur any fee for the use of the elevator as implied in your comments. As noted in the elevator instruction video provided to all guests, no assistance is required for operating the elevator outside of the elevator. I wish you had reached out to me for clarification, also as noted in the video with any questions or concerns about using it during your stay. It is very common to have both internal and external door s to operate private elevators, as it does not operate like commercial elevators; however, no one needs to assist outside of the elevator. It is available to use during your entire stay, not just loading and unloading. Had you noted or included any information to me about special needs, I would have certainly reiterated the information. My mother is 87 and utilizes the elevator always during her entire stay so I certainly understand. Again, thanks for your comments and thanks for staying at the Penthouse!

Family time!

The Penthouse was perfect for our needs...three generations. Close to beach, views of water from front and back, plenty of spacious comfort, and an elevator to accommodate the grandparents. So many things within walking distance for the younger folks. Christina was a blessing to work with as we had to juggle our plans and she worked with us. It was great.
