About this property

Steps to the Beach:Oceanfront - Pools - Prime Spot

Welcome to your oceanfront vacation rental in Carolina Beach! Escape to this first-floor space where the beach is just steps outside your door. Lose yourself in the views of the Atlantic Ocean, where you can start each morning with coffee to the sound of crashing waves while looking for dolphins swimming in the water. It is a great space for your entire family – including your four-legged friend!

Property Highlights:

• Spacious Accommodation: The primary bedroom features a king sized bed, while the second bedroom is outfitted with a convenient queen-over-queen bunk bed, comfortably accommodating family and friends.

• Parking: 2 community parking passes provided.

Extras to Love:

• We've got you covered with all the fun stuff—like sand toys, coloring books, beach chairs and body boards.

Whether you’re seeking a romantic retreat, a family vacation, or a weekend getaway with friends, this oceanfront property is the perfect spot to relax and recharge. Wake up to the sound of the waves, relax on the sandy beach just steps away, and create unforgettable memories at Carolina Beach – with your pup in tow!

WHERE YOU'LL FIND US

We've traveled up and down the North Carolina coast, and we haven't found a town we love more than Carolina Beach. At our condo, all the best spots are within easy reach. Plus, with access to two community pools, you can take a break from the sand and surf to practice your backstroke.

Of course there's the beach just outside your door, but within walking distance there's also Freeman Park for bonfires on the beach, Carolina Beach Fishing Pier, and a quaint downtown with plenty of places to shop or grab a bite. Don't leave without trying a Britt's donut!

Hop in your car (2 parking passes per condo) and drive just a few minutes to Carolina Beach State Park to walk down the Venus flytrap trail, see sea life up close at North Carolina Aquarium, or take a local tour to Shark Island.

Our family really enjoyed this condo for our annual beach trip! We are looking forward to booking it again in the future! I absolutely loved the view, and the easy access to the beach. It was a very comfortable stay for our family of 5 with the 2 queen bunk bed in the 2nd bedroom! The kitchen was stocked very well, and it was great to have plenty of beach chairs already at the condo! About the only con is there is no hose off area at the condo, so keeping sand out of the condo and off the floors was next to impossible. I used extra towels we brought as places to wipe our feet. It was a wonderful vacation for us all! The best one yet, and Carolina Beach is our new favorite beach spot!

About the host

Hosted by Greg and Laura Calone

Host profile image
Hello! We have lived in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina for nearly 20 years after both having been raised in the Northeast. Greg initially moved to North Carolina for school and Laura for work. We are now a family of 5 with our 5 year old daughter Isabella and our 2 mini-goldendoodles Maddie and Mollie.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved the beach. Our journey started out by exploring the lighthouses of North Carolina. During our travels we came across Carolina Beach and found ourselves returning time after time. We came across Rolling Waves and knew immediately it was a place that we could call home. It is a place where we come recharge and unwind after a long week.

What makes this property unique

We loved this place so much that we wanted to share it with others. We want our guests to feel at home and like they are part of the family. We continue to make upgrades to help each guest have a wonderful experience.
