Be sure and enjoy the cross breeze on the balcony as you overlook the pool and listen to the waves. Just a block from the Carolina Beach Pier, this property offers a private pool with a beautifully landscaped courtyard.

When you want to take a break from the beach, there are many other options nearby to experience. You are only minutes away from the Fort Fisher Historical Park and Aquarium in Kure Beach. You can also take the ferry from Fort Fisher over to Southport for shopping, dining and a stroll through the quaint waterfront downtown area. Just a short drive away is the historic downtown and riverfront area of Wilmington. Here you will find cobblestone streets filled with a variety of shops and restaurants. One of the most interesting sites to visit and the pride and joy of Wilmington is the USS North Carolina - the World War II battleship that played an integral role in the Pacific Theatre.

28 Steps!
28 steps to get to the condo. Very awkward getting the key from the lockbox. The condo was not clean when we arrived at 4pm. Bed was not made and trash was full, bathroom and kitchen was dirty. We left to go to the beach hoping the cleaning person was running late. We arrived back at the condo at 6 pm and found it the same as we left. We then called the owner and told him the situation and requested our money back. He said give him 10 minutes to get the cleaning person. We waited about 15 minutes and he called back informing us someone would come clean the place. Another 15 minutes there was a knock on the door. Holli the cleaning lady was very nice and she apologized for the condition of the rental. It seems there was a miscommunication from the owner regarding the date. Anyway, she worked like crazy cleaning. She even got down on her hands and knees scrubbing the bathroom and kitchen floors. She was so good and personable we forgot about the incident. Holli and my wife just hit it off. She even ran down those 28 steps to our car to retrieve items we forgot. She gave her cell number to my wife so we could call her at checkout to help us carry items down to the car. The condo was nice but not for the older folks like us. Those 28 steps ….

Needs a little updating/ deep cleaning
The stay was just ok. The place definitely needs some deep cleaning and updating in alot of areas. The ceiling fans and vents had a thick layer of dirt on them and so did the top of the headboard on the bed. the couch was very uncomfortable to sit on (it sagged in the middle) and the wifi was extremely slow. The bed was also uncomfortable to sleep on. the location even though it was close to the beach, the access was closed off to the public unless you wanted to climb over a bunch of very large, slippery boulders. The only access where you could bring beach stuff with like a wagon or beach cart was several blocks down the road so we didnt anticipate that. The walls are very thin so you can hear every footstep above you and people opening and closing the sliding glass door all hours of the day. There were several cockroaches on the front patio, but thankfully none inside the place. The kitchen and bathroom had everything you needed except body wash for the shower. plenty of towels, linens and the washer and dryer was a plus. The A/C was nice.

Great little getaway!
This was a perfect stay for a long weekend getaway. The porch was a lovely place to catch the corner breeze and even though the building is on Canal St., you can still catch a bit of the ocean between the between the buildings. The place has everything you need, was neat as a pin, plenty of light, will definitely stay here again!

Great quick trip!
We booked last minute and glad found this place! Michael was extremely easy to communicate with and prompt in response. The condo is not hard to find even late at night. We came in late and had no trouble parking or getting into the condo. It is exactly like pictured, simple cozy and perfect for what we needed. The only hiccup we had was the face beach access directly across from the condo was closed due to erosion probably from the recent storm. The next closest access is on the far side of the pier or a little ways down the road in the other direction. Both directions weren’t too far of a walk! Michael was responsive helping answer any questions he could about it and pointing us in the right direction to find a close access for a great beach day!

This is a 2nd floor unit and was easy to access. Parking was available and within close proximity of the unit. The 3rd floor walking was sometimes audible but not too distracting. The location was good- within walking distance to the Tiki Bar, Pier Restaurant - which was fun (fire pits and good food). The beach access was roughly a two block walk. The patio had pool view and the unit cooled very well. We would recommend. There was a thorough checklist provided electronically and on the refridgerator so we did not need to contact the owner about any issues.

Good location, fast communication, cool pool, and suitable for a family of four. The dishwasher didn't really work and there was no mattress topper on the sleeper sofa so it was a little uncomfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Overall all pretty nice
Some dishes weren’t clean and bed sheets had a mildew scent but other than that, it was very nice. The description makes it seem closer to the ocean than it is, (it’s a couple streets from beach access), but that wasn’t a problem for us.

Cute and convenient location
Property was as pictured. Beach is a block away but you dont have a view of the beach, which really doesnt matter when you're that close. Pool is very clean. From the balcony you have a view of the pool. This property definitely would be a challenge to someone who has trouble with steps. I would recommend a fold up step stool to help short people, like myself, to reach the dishes as the cabinets are high. I had to climb a chair to reach them.

Great location!
It was great to be close to the beach (about a one block walk) and the beach at Freeman Park. The Boardwalk with shops/restaurants are about 1.5 miles from the condo, be aware that parking at the Boardwalk is $9/hr +tax. Parking at the condo is free :). The condo was cute and clean and has a small but nice balcony. The ocean is very close but you can’t really see much of it from the condo. Our teenage kids shared the sleeper sofa for the 2 nights we were there and said it was fine although there was not a mattress topper, that might have made it more comfortable. The bedroom was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had what we needed to make meals. Communication was great with the host! Would recommend!
