About this property
Up on the Roof - Ocean Views - Arcade - Air Hockey - iRacing - Glow Golf!
BETTER THAN OCEANFRONT — here’s why families choose us over $2,500/night beachfront homes for this sky-high Carolina Beach GEM:
We’re the tallest townhome in Carolina Beach (5 stories high), so our 4th- floor deck and 5th-floor rooftop terrace deliver 180° panoramic ocean + city views that soar OVER every beachfront roof—catch panoramic ocean sunrise AND sunset from the same spot, no flipping sides required.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "To say we were WOWed would be an understatement - they truly have thought of everything"
Two blocks to the sand = zero sandy floors, free parking for 4–5 cars out front, and a whisper-quiet street (skip the beach-side traffic circus). Inside, it’s a private resort oceanfront mansions can only envy:
Glow-arcade garage: air hockey (New!), 100 tables full-size pinball, iRacing sim, pop-a-shot basketball, 60-game multicade, ping-pong, ring toss, 50" Game TV, mini-fridge, two adult bikes + full beach arsenal (chairs, umbrellas, wagon, boogie boards, cooler, games, beach towels...).
(New!) Glow-in-the-dark 9-hole mini-golf backyard + neon cornhole under the stars.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "The arcade garage is so much fun!"
Rooftop neon lounge: 7 seats (2 loungers, captain’s chairs, couch) for moonlit cocktails or sunrise yoga.
Elevator to floor 4—luggage? What luggage?
Sleeps 14 on real beds (no floor crashers).
Same salty breeze, double the fun, $500 less per night. Oceanfront suddenly feels… basic.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “The roof top terrace is fantastic: private, sun and ocean views !! ... an unbeatable rooftop patio made this an awesome place!"
THE EPIC FLOOR-BY-FLOOR RUNDOWN
ROOFTOP (5th Floor) – Neon-lit terrace with unrivaled 180° views. Hear the waves, smell the salt, snap Insta-gold every five minutes.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "The rooftop views were unparalleled - sunrise over the ocean in the mornings and sunset over the treetops in the evenings with the full moon and stars stealing the show at night."
4th Floor – Open-plan living, dining, gourmet kitchen, 75" smart TV / Sound system, balcony with killer ocean views.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Very clean, comfortable space. Absolutely the best equipped kitchen I've ever had in a rental space."
3rd Floor – Captain’s Master: king + private bath/balcony/TV | Coral Twins: two twins + private bath/TV.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "The house was spotless, beds were super comfy"
2nd Floor – Ocean Suite: king + sleeper sofa, balcony, TV (sleeps 4) | Ship Mates: two bunk sets, TV (sleeps 4) | Full bath + oversized laundry.
1st Floor – Arcade garage + beach HQ (still room for a car!).
(NEW) - Backyard Oasis – Glow 9 hole putting green, pergola with fire pit, lounging chairs, glow cornhole, gas grill, outdoor shower, more - Loads of family fun!
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "We had a great time and didn't want to leave - This place is incredible!"
LOCATION PERKS (3-Min Stroll to Sand)
Ice cream, tiki bars, restaurants—all walkable. Boardwalk & lake <1 mile. Carolina Beach State Park (5 min), Fort Fisher (4 mi), Wilmington (20 min).
Book the sky-high stay that makes oceanfront blush. Once you’ve watched the sun rise and set from the same deck, there’s no going back.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Couldn’t have asked for more—highly recommend and would book again in a heartbeat!"

About the host
Hosted by Norman Crenshaw
From Cary, North Carolina, a software developer and nurse team. It's been our desire to live on a coastal home for years, and now we're finally realizing it! Up on the Roof is far greater than we ever imagined and we're excited to share it with families and friends so they may have fun making unique memories by the sea together.
Why they chose this property
This home is lovely and calm! Your vacation time is spent in the easy elegance of safe and enjoyable Carolina Beach, only steps from the sea, with room for 10 people and numerous decks and outside spaces, including the roof-top deck. At the garage level, enjoy a game of ping-pong while grilling and hanging out! Watch the fireworks each Thursday at 9 p.m. during the season from the rooftop terrace! Relax on the beautiful outdoor furniture, pedal around our extremely safe community on one of our bikes, or stroll along the beach at any time of day or night. Up on the Roof has amazing sunrises and sunsets for you!
What makes this property unique
So close to the beach with everything you need - just bring your swimsuits! We have beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella, cooler, beach wagon, and kids beach toys - all free for your use! Enjoy the fun of ping-pong on our brand-new table! We've added Pop-a-Shot Basketball, iRacing rig, and putt-put golf. Enjoy Grilling out, or go to one of the great restaurants so close by you can walk to them. Are you a great cook? Enjoy our large and beautiful kitchen with everything you need! Up on the Roof is close to everything Carolina Beach has to offer!
