If you have been disappointed in vacation stays in the past, there will be no disappointment at Joy by the Sea. The overboard welcoming host is just the beginning of a wonderful experience. If you are one seeking a clean, family oriented, home away from home feel, look no further! This is it. Close to the beach, restaurants and shops, plus this location is very close to Freeman Park. If you have a 4WD, you can take your rig and cruise on the beach! Find a spot, park, throw up a canopy, beach gear, and voila, a wonderful different experience at the beach! We will be staying no where else at Carolina Beach when we return.
