The location and view cannot be beat. It is so convenient to attractions, restaurants, and shopping. You really feel like you are in the center of the action. And it could not be easier to get to a pristine and not overly crowded stretch of beach. An easy walk (either on sidewalk or beach) to the boardwalk. The unit itself is well furnished and had everything we needed for our stay. We really enjoyed eating meals out on the patio overlooking the ocean. The hosts really thought of everything and were really great to work with. Would definitely recommend to others!

Our host was very nice and very informative. Great accommodations and location. The only appliance we had a problem with was the single cup keurig. Some instructions would have been helpful.We ended up overflowing a cup the first time because we didn't know how much water to put in the tank. But we learned. Everything else was great!

My family and I had an awesome time at the beach thanks to Emily’s wonderful rental! It was exceptionally clean and well stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, and many other items you need!!! Very well decorated and furnished! The view from the balcony was great!! The morning sunrises with coffee and evenings listening to the ocean while playing music and having cocktails all made for a memorable vacation. Also, it was a short walk to the beautiful beach. The ONLY issue we had was other guests parking in our spots one evening. Although I didn’t want to contact Emily that late in the evening, I did. Sent her a text to explain the issue and she responded immediately!! Problem solved! We are already talking about using Emily’s place again next year!!

This is a fabulous property. The location is perfect. A quick walk over the dunes and straight to the beach. A ten minute walk takes you to restaurants, bars and the best donuts we’ve ever eaten. Don’t miss Britt’s and bring cash! The condo is cute and was plenty of space for a family of four. Our favorite spot is the deck. It provided a lovely morning coffee spot and gorgeous evening views. The kitchen has everything you need, including basic spices, Olive Oil, napkins and much more. Emily is a terrific hostess, even providing laundry detergent and dish soap. Carolina Beach was one of our favorite family vacations. We will definitely return!

Response from VrboOwner on 10 June 2026
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay in my beach home. I work very hard to make everything accommodating for all of my guests and appreciate any feedback on guest experiences. In all fairness and to clarify, the information in my listing is transparent, clear, and accurate. The point you expressed in your review is clearly covered in specific detail with one mouse click of the link called See All Rooms and Bed Details within my property listing and also in the rental agreement that you accepted at the time you booked in early January. It is unfortunate that you overlooked this information and you did not reach out to me between booking and check-in to express any concern you might have, which would have allowed me the opportunity to respond/resolve any concern. Thanks again for your feedback!

Great place, very cute, clean and as described. Great view from the deck. Perfect for 2-3 friends or a small family. Very convenient to walk to the boardwalk either via beach or street. Be sure to note that no linens are provided. I've rented many different VRBO properties. This is the first one I've stayed in that I would go out of my way to book again. Very homey and easy to settle in quickly so that you can enjoy your full beach visit.

This property is very centrally located. It is far enough away from the lights and sounds of the Carolina Beach boardwalk, yet easily walkable to the boardwalk & marina. The walkway to the beach is right in front of the unit. You can view the beach from the great room and balcony. It was great eating breakfast on the balcony while watching the ocean waves. The unit was very clean and well appointed. The decor was perfectly "beachy" and the furniture was comfortable and well maintained. I would highly recommend this property for friends and/or family get away.

Our trip to Emily's place was perfect from the beginning to the end. She reached out with all of the info we needed to get into the unit and contacted us while there to make sure we were making out ok. When we asked for recommendations for a place to eat, we got a great list of all of the best places in the surrounding areas for different types of food. We tried several and they were fantastic. Communication was great from the start until the time we left.The unit has a wonderful direct view of the ocean to enjoy day and night (the lights on the deck were great to sit out at night). We spent a lot of time out on the deck. It is so easy to walk out to the beach because of the location.Emily's unit was exactly as pictured online and was super clean throughout. It was probably the cleanest place we've stayed when we've gone away on vacations. We felt right at home. The bathrooms were clean and the little bath soaps were were a nice touch. We made use of the smaller couch that turns into a bed and that seemed to work well for my adult sons. When we did use the kitchen to cook, we were able to find all of the the pots and pans that we needed. We did eat out a lot, so we didn't use the kitchen as much to be able to comment on that. It was super clean as well though.The parking spaces were easy to get to out back right by the beach access and came in handy to keep our beach chairs, boogie boards and such in between trips out to the beach.Emily's place was a great place to stay.

Host profile image

This is our piece of heaven, and we want to share it with you!!

Our primary goal is that you have a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stay. We invite you to read a few of the many reviews left by previous guests. 😊

This special happy place allows my husband and I relaxation and peace in a family oriented environment. I often tell him that his brain turns to jello when we cross the bridge onto the island. He agrees! (smile). My husband does tell me that I go into some sort of scary deep-cleaning voodoo trance when I arrive at our beach home. I agree, I can't help it! (smile).

We love the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, smelling the ocean air while walking on the beach...sipping a morning cup of coffee and watching the sun rise over the big Atlantic Ocean!! Watching the dolphins play in the water isn't too bad either. Love it!!

Doesn't get any better than this!! We hope you get to enjoy our beach home real soon!

Why they chose this property

Carolina Beach is a quaint town with small town amenities. The fun and activities are endless on the island and in the Wilmington area.

What makes this property unique

Oceanfront! Oceanfront! As soon as I walked into this condo, I knew this would be our “home away from home”. As soon as you walk in all you see is the Atlantic Ocean through a 9 ft. wide glass door that enhances the view allowing for a very open sense of space. The main living area (kitchen and living room) are in this space. A few steps further, walk out onto the large covered oceanfront deck, which is like another room, to enjoy completely unobstructed views and soothing sounds of the ocean. And wow, what a breath taking view!! Stepping through the glass door, you can relax and lounge on the covered deck when it's sunny, rainy, or breezy!! Doesn’t matter what the weather is. **Covered decks are a great benefit!!**

We want you to get to experience our beach “home away from home” real soon!!
