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. “

3 night getaway

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!

Enjoyed our stay

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! Wendy and Joe

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.
