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!"
