This is a second floor, nicely appointed beach front unit with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. There were three of us staying there. Easy access to a nice beach. Close to the boardwalk and there’s a little market that we walked to for coffee in the am. The management team was very responsive. I’d stay here again! Or any property managed by this team!

Very professional check in check out process. Covered parking and close location to CB boardwalk. Basic cooking needs and some foil plastic wrap etc. Really nice porch with bar that looks towards the ocean. The pool was not open which was a bummer. Must use public access to get to the beach but is just passed the next building. Walls are a little thin, can hear neighbors walking around. Was near the upper price range for the area but I was happy with the rental.

Oceanfront & Comfortable

Our stay at Serenity at Carolina Beach was nothing short of exceptional. Waking up to ocean views from the master suite was a dream. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare meals with ease. The large deck became our favorite spot for morning coffee and evening glass of wine. Being just a short distance from the boardwalk and local restaurants added to the convenience. Highly recommend this gem for a serene beach getaway!

From the moment we entered Serenity at Carolina Beach, we were captivated by the stunning ocean views. The kitchen was both functional and aesthetically pleasing. We spent countless hours on the deck, soaking in the sights and sounds of the ocean. This condo truly lives up to its name, offering a peaceful retreat by the sea. The hosts were fantastic, with clear communication and a welcoming, helpful approach that made the stay even better.
