About this property
2 BR Condo On the Beach (any closer and you'd need a tent on the sand).
Our condo is newly renovated and ready for the summer season! We kept our "beachy" colors but did significant upgrades to kitchen, living area, and bathrooms.
This bright, colorful and decidedly "beachy" oceanfront condo is perfect for a family vacation or last-minute beach trip! Flat screen TV's in the living room and both bedrooms, as well as high speed, secure internet (not shared with the rest of the building). The Ocean Front master bedroom has a king-sized bed with a new Beautyrest mattress, private full bath with rainwater shower and detachable hand-held wand, and access to the oceanfront balcony. There are 2 twin beds In the street-facing second bedroom with access to the full hall bathroom with tub/shower. These can also be converted to a king bed with a converter kit provided. There is also a queen sleeper sofa with upgraded Memory Foam mattress in the living room should you need the extra bed space. The oceanfront balcony offers breathtaking views (make sure to catch at least one sunrise on your stay). The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for a week at the beach (and all appliances are brand new), with a Ninja Mega-Kitchen System blender, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, microwave, and J. A. Henckels kitchen cutlery. But, if you'd rather not cook, there are loads of restaurants really close by. Some of our favorites are Kate's Pancake House, Havana's, Michaelangelo's Pizza, Pop's Diner, and of course, the famous Britt's Donuts. And the Veggie Wagon (just across US 421) is a real treat, offering farm-fresh veggies, freshly baked baguettes, deli sandwiches, take-and-bake pizza's, fruit smoothies, and a pretty good selection of beer and wine.
In addition to a great time on the beach, you have access to bike rentals just two blocks away (one of our family's favorite activities is to bike down to Fort Fisher and catch the ferry to Southport). The Carolina Beach Greenway is accessible at the lake which is just across the street. Here you will find a nice walking, running, cycling, or skating trail, peddle boat rentals, and there are family movies every Sunday night.
Two blocks away you will find the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, with shops, restaurants, Britt's Donuts and an amusement park. Thursday nights there are fireworks from the boardwalk. See them there, or enjoy them from the beach or the deck of the condo.
The unit has spacious covered parking that can accommodate two larger sized vehicles or three smaller ones. We've been coming to Carolina Beach for over 20 years and have owned this unit since 2008. It's slow-paced and relaxing, a perfect location for a family wanting to unwind or for a couple looking for a quiet, romantic getaway. We love spending time here, and we think you will too! Enjoy!

About the host
Hosted by Chris and Betsy Head
Chris and Betsy met in college, and fell in love a few years later. Married since 1989, they have raised 3 wonderful children who are now grown and making their parents prouder every day! Carolina Beach has been one of those touchstones in our lives. It's a wonderful place to leave the world behind and focus on family time. Today we live in Virginia, but come here as often as we can to dig our toes in the sand!
Why they chose this property
Betsy always wanted to own a home at the beach. As an infant, her first beach experience was just north of here, on Wrightsville Beach. Chris has family in the Wilmington area, so the fit was a natural. When this condo came on the market, the two knew the time was right. With the condo's unique view of the Civil War wreckage, there is a special charm to this quiet beach village of Carolina Beach.
What makes this property unique
From the first time we stayed in one of the Sands III condos, we loved the view of the beach from the deck. With the beach access right next to the building, we couldn't ask for better location. And the lake across the street is a great place to get our steps in every day! The pathway around the lake is perfect for walking, running, or taking your furry friends for a stroll. All in all, our condo is in a perfect location for everything! We can walk to restaurants, bike all over the island, or grab a green smoothie just a block away at the Veggie Wagon (a discovery we just made in April of 2017!) The pool, while small, is perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach. And Carolina Beach offers us whatever we are looking for: great restaurants, amusing nightlife, good shopping, outdoor recreation, and so much more!
