The place is amazing! Beautiful, quiet area so close to walk to the beach. Also close to neighboring beaches and cities. Great amenities and great stay. Will stay again if back in the area. Britt’s donuts were amazing. Also Oceanic restaurant in Wrightsville. Would highly recommend taking a stroll on the boardwalk. We visited spots where are favorite show was filmed, “The Summer I Turned Pretty. “

We are thrilled to hear that you loved the beautiful, quiet location and how close it is to the beach and nearby towns. It sounds like you had an incredible trip exploring Britt’s Donuts, dining at Oceanic, and checking out The Summer I Turned Pretty filming spots! Hosting you was a total pleasure, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime you're in the area!
Wonderful. Property was very clean and well accommodated. We had everything we needed. Check in was smooth. Location was close to beach, shopping, and trails. Excellent. We definitely enjoyed our stay.
Great place for a few nights getaway with my wife. Hosts communicate well. Perfect size for a couple. Walk to beach not bad and there is public parking (pay) at end of street. Back patio area needs sprucing up/and some privacy. Definitely recommend!
We came to Carolina Beach from Buffalo, NY to visit our sons and grandson who live in Wilmington. The location was perfect for us. Every day we walked the CB Greenway Trail or the beach. The studio apartment had a comfortable bed and well-equipped kitchen. It was very clean. The washer and dryer were a plus. We will be back!

Driftwood Studio
This was a nice studio. There were a few things that need to be fixed.The filter on air conditioner duct need to be changed and the storm door doesn't close and has to be pulled shut. Several times the wind grabbed it and threw it open.The pictures on VRBO need to be updated as we were dissapointed when we arrived with our private deck.
