About this property

Oceanfront Paradise! Best view and location in Carolina Beach! Walk everywhere!

Oceanfront Paradise! You cannot get any closer to the beach and ocean! Walk everywhere, no parking headaches!

Beautiful Second Floor, End Unit Condo with ocean views from every window. Watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee or tea in the mornings and walk the beach in the evenings. A perfect spot for a romantic getaway or a family retreat.

This Paradise condo is a one bedroom, one bath and includes a queen size sleeper sofa. The condo is very cozy and has a fully stocked kitchen as well as a washer/dryer.

A lifeguard station is located right out front, and beach access is right outside your door. You are literally steps from the beach.

You are within a 3-minute walk to the Boardwalk and its shops, restaurants and entertainment as well as the marina and main strip.

You will have your own private fireworks show many nights during peak season! You won't even need to leave the balcony.

"Paradise" is on the 2nd floor, stairs required (no elevator). Two parking spots are offered and located right at the base of the stairwell.

The condo is a part of a 9 unit building making it very quaint and not an overpowering complex.

There is a firm no pet and no smoking (includes vapes) policy that is enforced by HOA members who live full time on site.

This is the place for you if you are looking for a totally relaxing retreat with breathtaking ocean views and not having to drive!

This was our 2nd time staying here, we really, like it! Unfortunately, they were doing beach preservation while we were there which hindered our view as there was a dumpster & earth moving equipment between the condo & the ocean. That's no fault of the hosts just a bummer for us as we loved beng so close to the ocean & the incredible view the last time we stayed there. It's very convenient to the boardwalk & restaurants.

Such a great little condo for my husband and I for a long 3-day weekend!
