Beachy Keen was a lovely place to stay. It was clean and had everything we needed to make our visit comfortable. The beach was beautiful and Wilmington is roughly a 30 minute drive away if you want to go out for a nice dinner or do some shopping.

Fantastic stay right on Carolina Beach. The property was exactly as described. Having your own washing machine and drying unit is a major plus!! Would highly recommend Beachy Keen as a stay right on the NC beach.

We have been visiting CB annually for many years. We have stayed many places and this location was perfect - walking distance to the boardwalk and all the restaurants and shops. Not to mention right on the beach with private access! Would definitely stay here again! Rental company was communicative and so easy to work with!

The condo was clean. The ocean view in the picture is accurate, but there is a unit above with a clear view. Access to beach was good.

Our vacation was great. The location of the property was perfect as it beachfront but also slightly removed from the noise of the boardwalk blocks. The condo was nice and comfortable. I would book again.

We really enjoyed our time at Beachy Keen the location was perfect with small kids easy to walk back and forth to the condo from the beach and the pool was a great size for them too. We were able to walk to the boardwalk area and it’s very convenient to lots of other shops and restaurants. The condo itself was clean and the space worked well for our family of 4.

Beautiful property, clean, well taken care of. Check in process and communications were top notch. Location to the beach was perfect. Cleanliness was evident and presentation was on point. Unit is a bit aged with decorations and the towels could use a refresh as they seemed to be a bit old. Also just a suggestion, not a knock, would be convenient if there were toiletries included with the stay (IE Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash, etc). Overall great experience and loved the stay. Would 100% stay here again.

Thank you for your kind review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the property, location, and service. We'll address your suggestions about the unit's age, towel refresh, and adding toiletries. Your feedback is valuable, and we hope to see you again.
No view. The advertisement claimed that there were excellent views of the ocean. In reality, you cannot even see the ocean unless you are standing up in the living room. The "view" is of the back of the high sand dunes.

Nice property. The only thing that was missing was a iron. We also had issues with a terrible smell from the outside garbage containers.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay with us at "Beachy Keen". We are truly sorry for the unpleasant smell from the outside garbage containers. These cans are handled by the HOA community, so we will work with them to ensure smelly or full cans are not left behind. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we aim to provide a comfortable and well-equipped stay for all our guests. We hope to welcome you back in the future!
My friends and I enjoyed this property with it's easy access to the beach and also short walk to the Boardwalk area. One suggestion we had is that more seating be added to the balcony area. There's only two chairs, which doesn't match the occupancy of the unit.
The pictures accurately reflected the property. The beach was steps away from the back door. Parking was roomy enough for an SUV, and the kitchen was stocked with enough basic pots, pans and dishes for our needs. We did have to purchase additional TP and a sponge to wash dishes. The keyless entry was very nice as there were no keys to have to keep track of. The location was excellent as it was a nice walk to the Boardwalk as well as several close places to grab a bite to eat. Loved this place and would recommend! I’d love to come back again.
Check in process was simple-pick up parking passes down the street and return upon leaving. However, I wish they could have just been left at the rental. We actually got to check in a little after noon instead of the specified 4:00pm check in. It worked out perfectly because we arrived in the area hours early and weren’t sure what to do. The pool is extremely small. The house was very clean. The pictures shown, of the living room specifically, were accurate but they portrayed the room to seem like it would be much larger.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that the check-in process was simple and you were able to access the property earlier than the specified check-in time. We regret that the pool size did not meet your expectations, but we're pleased to know that the house was very clean and the living room aligned with the provided pictures. Your feedback helps us improve our service, and we hope you had an enjoyable stay overall.
