Wonderful and Convenient Stay!

This place was in the perfect location for a fun, peaceful and convenient stay (3 nights). After deciding the day before checkout that we wanted to stay an extra night, the host was more than flexible and quick to add another night. The view from the balcony is stunning, and condo was clean, welcoming, and cozy!We will be staying here whenever we return!

Beautiful and Relaxing

This condo was a great choice. Very clean. Kitchen was well appointed for our cooking needs. Great view of the beach. We spent a lot of time on the balcony. Chairs were comfy and breeze was great. Publix very close by and plenty of restaurants to choose from. Will definitely consider coming back to stay again.

Paradise on Carolina Beach

This is a beautifully appointed condo with a great view and covered balcony. It is conveniently located to everything. It is our second time staying here, for good reason, and we can highly recommend it. We like to come off season and there is still so much to see and do when it gets cooler/cold. Great hosts!

Best Place we have rented in North Carolina.

We have stayed in Nags Head, Topsail Beach, Wrightsville Beach, and Myrtle and Folly in SC and this was the best condo to date. Loaded with everything you need such as beach towels beach chairs all kitchen items even spices. The deck is fantastic with phenomenal views. You will not be disappointed!

Would stay again- beautiful view, clean, highly recommend

We had a fantastic experience, the view from the balcony is perfection no matter the time of day. I would caution anyone who has trouble walking that it is a walk up about 4 flights of stairs. However, the walk is worth it for the view from the balcony and the clean, lovely furnished space. The beds were also very comfortable with plush comforters and pillows. Highly recommend and we will hope to stay there again next year!

Beautiful condo!

My husband and I came for New Years to enjoy some quality time. The condo was gorgeous with amazing views. The owners were very nice and answered our question on an item right away. Walking distance to the boardwalk and restaurants. The covered porch overlooking the ocean was a huge bonus with comfortable lounge chairs, and we did actually see the civil war shipwreck on low tide.

Beautiful Condo with Amazing Views

This condo was perfect for me, my husband and my parents. It was extremely well maintained, very clean and comfortable. It exceeded ALL of our expectations. The view was amazing and the balcony was plenty big enough for all four to be outside at the same time without feeling crowded. The owners are very responsive and have provided all the conveniences of home. We will definitely try to rent here in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Fantastic place with amazing location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property is just like the pictures - actually better than the pictures! Really well decorated and spacious. The balcony was probably our favorite spot where we could sit and watch/listen to the ocean. The location of this unit was ideal as well. Since the area is not right by large hotels/condo units, we felt like we had a more private section of the beach. The owner was great with communication and responded promptly. We also enjoyed the smaller touches like shampoo/conditioner/body wash in each bathroom plus the beach equipment. Good parking as well. Will definitely be back!
