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!

Always a great stay!

There is very little that I need to say if I tell you that this is the second time we have stayed at this place and are booking it next year. The location, the dog friendliness, and the responsiveness of the owners personally and the company when need was spot on as last year. For a family of 3 with 2 dogs, you can't beat this place and the people who own it.
