About this property

Cozy Beach Hideaway, Sleeps 2-4. Directly across from Carolina Beach Lake Park

Our cute one bedroom, one bath condo is perfect for couples looking for a romantic getaway or a small family looking for fun on the beach. Our two patios, one on each end of the condo, give you an awesome view of the sunrises and sunsets over the beach and lake respectively. Just in case the weathers not cooperating, we have a retro arcade with all your favorite old games and there's no quarters needed!

We are located in the heart of Carolina Beach, in the second row of homes. We are a mere 100 steps from the ocean access. The Carolina Beach Lake and Brandy Myers Playground is across the street and the Carolina Beach Boardwalk is roughly a 6-minute walk. Every Thursday night during the summer there is a fireworks display on the boardwalk, the best part about this is there is no fighting of the crowds for you, you can just pull up a chair on our ocean side patio and watch in comfort. The amusement park portion of the boardwalk is open Memorial Day through Labor Day every year. At the lake, there is a Farmer's Market every Saturday morning and on Sunday evening's they do free family movies. The Kure Beach pier, the Ft. Fisher Aquarium, and the ferry to Southport are just a 10–12-minute drive.

If you love food like we do there are loads of great places to eat and drink! Definitely check out Hang Ten restaurant for a great burger, they're so close you can see them from the back patio. The Veggie Wagon is a 3-minute walk, where you can grab all kinds of local fare, like take and bake meals, hard ciders/beers/wine, baked goods. The blood orange cider is my personal favorite. Coffee lovers don't fear for Majik Beans is just a short walk past the Hang Ten restaurant, on the walk you'll also pass Kate's Pancake house, where you should definitely try the Banana Nut French toast. For burritos as big as your head, lol, check out Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn, delicious! Last but not least on our favorite's list is Britt's Donuts, which is open seasonally on the Boardwalk. They're so good that they announce their re-opening every year on the local news!

We have an onsite designated parking spot for our unit, so you don't have to concern yourself with parking access or fees. Our home is fully furnished but we do not supply linens. If you don't wish to travel with linens, you can rent them on the island at such places as Maids 2 Clean NC. We have a 3-night minimum stay to book our property.

My girlfriend and I loved this place, the location was perfect! It was in walking distance to the boardwalk, an easy walk to the beach and we were also across from the Carolina beach lake which had beautiful sunsets! The place itself was also nice, clean and had a very comfy couch, my girlfriend loved it! Also the host was great, she always responded quickly to any questions or concerns we had and made sure we had all the information we needed before our check in which was greatly appreciated. Overall we had an amazing stay at this condo and would stay again.

Wonderful location with all the comforts of home!

This condo was perfect for our long weekend in Carolina Beach and had all the comforts of home. The location was ideal for the few steps to the beach or just a short walk to the boardwalk and a variety of restaurants.

3rd annual stay at this condo - fantastic as always! Perfect location - close to an access, beautiful views of the lake, and close to the boardwalk but far enough to not be noisy. The condo is always clean and is exactly what we need for a few relaxing days at the beach. Melissa is a great and responsive host. Can’t wait til next year!

Wonderful Location in a Family Friendly Beach Town!

Absolutely loved the location and that everything was walkable! The beach is across a small one way road (more like an alley), the lake park is across the street (market on Saturdays!), and the boardwalk was an easy walk after walking to dinner. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The detailed welcome email Melissa sends has everything you need to know and is very accurate. Neighbors were all so kind and having a dedicated parking space was convenient and made us feel even safer than we already did. We would definitely stay here again

Great week at the beach

We stayed 4 nights at cozy beach hideaway. It was an excellent location....walking distance to everything and close to the beach. The condo had a pretty view of the lake on one side and a pretty sliver of the ocean on the other. We had everything we needed. The condo was clean and comfortable. No problem with parking and easy to access apt. Would stay again!

Well appointed and equipped condo. Great communication with owners. Easy check in. We loved the balcony...it stays cool and breezy ALL morning! The bed is super comfy and I'm actually ordering two Serta Copper pillows. Very relaxing...slept so well...even a two hour nap on the couch and I never nap! Highly recommend this rental, it is a great value.

Nice getaway!

The property was beautiful and just like the pictures. There are a lot of stairs, but you can do it! After getting all of our things up the stairs the first time, the rest of the time the stairs were no big deal. Beautiful view of the lake in the evening and very close to the beach. We would stay again!

Perfect Spot!

We just finished up our second stay at this condo. We absolutely love it! The condo is always clean and the owners provide lots of nice touches making it easy to feel at home and have a great time. The location is perfect - close to everything but still quiet. Quick access to the beach and dinner/bars, and a beautiful view of the lake. And don’t miss the CB Farmer’s Market on Saturdays right across the street! Can’t wait til next year!

Great Location, Nice & Safe Property

The condo was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It was nice that there were 2 balconies to enjoy the sunrise and ocean view on one side, and the sunset and lake view on the other. Central location to everything. We had a great time exploring on bikes - so many trails and bike friendly streets. We went to the Battleship and Aquarium at Fort Fisher - all within an easy drive. Was nice to sit out on the back patio and hear the ocean. We cooked one meal in and had everything needed and the other nights enjoyed the local restaurants. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Borowiak

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Located in the heart of Carolina Beach, directly across from Carolina Beach Lake Park. The third floor offers nice sunrise views over the ocean and spectacular sunsets over the lake. Beach access is less than 100 steps away and is not near a public parking lot, which means the beach is always less crowded than any of the other public access areas. Walking distance to local food/bars and the boardwalk which is always hopping on a summer night with a carnival, live music, etc..

What makes this property unique

I personally love sitting on the patio off of the bedroom and enjoying a cool drink while watching the sunset after a fun day at the beach.
