About this property

Luxury Oceanfront Corner Condo. Stunning Ocean Views. Dog Friendly. Serene.

Welcome to Bear’s Beachfront, our Oceanfront Luxury 1-Bedroom Condo set against the sweeping Atlantic views and the thoughtfully decorated coastal style backdrop. Summer at Carolina Beach brings a special kind of magic - sun-filled mornings, endless blue horizons, and evenings cooled by the salty ocean breeze.

Ideally located on one of the island’s most desirable stretches of sand, this retreat offers a romantic setting for couples seeking a refined yet relaxed seaside escape. Just steps from the island's only year round dog friendly beach, it is an unparalleled experience for those who want to have their dogs join them.

Inside, the condo blends elevated comfort with thoughtfully curated design. The open living space is filled with natural light and ocean views, creating a calm, inviting atmosphere for slow mornings and restful evenings. The private porch becomes your front-row seat to sunrise coffee, afternoon relaxation, and the soothing sound of the waves.

The fully equipped designer kitchen features high-end finishes and everything needed for an effortless vacation, whether you are preparing breakfast before the beach or unwinding after a day in the sun.

The primary bedroom offers a plush king-size bed dressed in soft linens, ensuring restful nights after long beach days. The spa-inspired bathroom delivers modern elegance with refined, high-end details.

Being on the first floor means easy arrivals and seamless transitions from parking to relaxation - a small luxury guests quickly appreciate. Extra sound-proofing materials built into the home helps the space feel isolated and private.

Step outside to enjoy ocean breezes, walk directly to the sand, or take a short stroll to the North End Pier. From peaceful morning walks to vibrant summer sunsets, everything that makes Carolina Beach unforgettable surrounds your stay.

Whether you’re planning a romantic coastal getaway, a rejuvenating beach retreat, or a relaxing summer escape, Bear’s Beachfront offers a beautifully elevated oceanfront experience.

We look forward to welcoming you.

My husband and I loved our stay here! The condo was spacious, clean, and beautiful. Having our coffee every morning on the deck overlooking that amazing ocean view was the highlight of our stay! Our host James was the best! He kept in touch and always answered any questions we had quickly. Our favorite condo in Carolina Beach!

My first comment walking in was how impressed I was with the cleanliness! Host was communicative and checked in on us half way through the trip to make sure we had what we needed. I appreciated the location, being on the end near the pier - the amount of people on the beach was minimal and the beach was very dog friendly. We saw many other dogs enjoying beach days as well. There is a beach access directly on the side of the building so it was very easy to get on and off the beach. Lastly, we could hear the ocean with the doors or windows open which was what I looked for.

Bear's Beachfront is amazing! James is probably the best host I've ever encountered - very friendly and communicative. The space is phenomenal - very classy, yet comfortable. And the views are perfect for dolphin sightings. The windows/views, dog-friendly aspects, treats waiting for us and our pups, the fireplace, fully stocked kitchen, cleanliness, and overall peace of this space is wonderful... we will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. The unit is beautifully maintained, very clean, and thoughtfully stocked with high-quality amenities. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals comfortably. It was also very accommodating for our dog, which made traveling with a pet easy and stress-free. Beach access is incredibly convenient (just steps away) and the ocean views are fantastic. Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

This condo was everything we wanted and more! It was just my husband and I along with our mini golden doodle. They have food bowls set up for the fur babies so you don’t have to pack any. Also the views from the deck are awesome. The condo is very spacious for a couple as well as cozy. The hosts were also very accommodating for any if my questions. We will definitely try and stay here again if are in the area. You will not find anywhere to rent that is this clean. Even the windows were clean and I’m sure that has to be hard being in salt weather.

Luxury is spot on! This place has everything you need and feels like you’re staying at a 5 star resort with your own private view of the waves. I’ve been hesitant to bring my dog on past trips and this unit is perfect. The dog blankets provided made her feel comfortable and she loved hanging on the balcony with us. The owner was also responsive and location was excellent. We walked to the pier daily. We will certainly return!

Bears Beachfront was literally perfect! All brand new and finished with comfort and class. The kitchen holds a cute coffee bar which was fully stocked with many different options and you are left with a welcoming basket of snacks. You will have all the small appliances one could need in addition to the well stocked and organized kitchen ready for prepping meals, cooking and enjoying a glass of wine. I was incredibly excited to see the fresh unopened sponge ready upon our arrival! (LOL- I mean this does not always happen in rentals)! The shower is spacious and fabulous and the bed was comfortable and inviting! The living room space is pretty and if needed holds a sleeper sofa. There is little to no sound coming from other units and the view is special. My husband and I have been coming to the area for years and this was one of our favorite condo rentals. Very close to all the area things! You will not be disappointed- James and Cindy thank you for your space and making our much needed respite cozy and peaceful!

About the host

Hosted by James Aiken

Host profile image
Hi there!

We're James and Cindy - your hosts at Bear’s Beachfront. While Cindy helps bring the vision to life, you’ll mostly hear from James. He’s the one making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes and that you feel right at home from the moment you arrive.

Cindy is originally from South Africa and spent years as a flight attendant for Emirates. After a career spent serving travelers around the world, it’s been a joy for her to bring that same level of care and hospitality to our guests here on the Carolina coast.

James has a background in the restaurant business and knows how important it is to make people feel welcome and well taken care of. He called Carolina Beach home for 14 years, so this isn’t just a destination to us - it’s personal. Whether you’re here to relax, reconnect, or explore, we want your stay to feel easy, comfortable, and memorable.

This isn’t our first listing - we’ve been hosting for a few years now and are so grateful for the kind guests and wonderful experiences we've had. That journey inspired us to take on Bear’s Beachfront, and we’ve poured just as much heart into making it a special retreat.

We know how precious time away can be. Our hope is that from the little touches to the peaceful setting, your time here helps you slow down and enjoy what matters most.

Thanks for considering a stay with us - it truly means a lot.

Warmly,
James & Cindy

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it’s not just a place we love - it’s a place we’ve lived. It’s one of our favorite areas on the island, and it holds a special place in our hearts. Tucked away on the peaceful north end of Carolina Beach, it offers a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of the boardwalk, while still being just a short drive or bike ride away if you want to explore.

This part of the island is known for its scenic walks, peaceful fishing spots, and daily dolphin sightings right from the shore - things we never stopped appreciating during our time living here. It’s the kind of place where you can truly slow down, soak up the salt air, and reconnect with nature and the people around you.

We feel incredibly blessed to be able to share this special corner of the island with our guests and hope you’ll come to love it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

What makes our condo truly unique is the care and intention behind every detail. This wasn’t just a quick flip - we spent months renovating the space from top to bottom, thoughtfully designing each corner with our future guests in mind. From the layout to the finishes, everything was chosen to create a calm, beautiful, and functional retreat by the sea.

A fun fact: we even soundproofed the living room ceiling to help make your stay extra relaxing - because we know that quality rest matters just as much as location.

We wanted to bring the outdoors in, so you'll notice coastal tones, natural textures, and spaces that invite you to slow down and soak in the view. Whether it’s sipping coffee on the porch while watching for dolphins or curling up by the fireplace after a beach day, this condo was built to make those moments memorable.

We know how important holidays and getaways are. That’s why we went all out - to create a space that feels just as special as the memories you’ll make here.
