Our condo is newly modernized and ready for the summer season! We kept our "beachy" colors but did significant upgrades to kitchen, living area, and bathrooms.
This bright, colorful and decidedly "beachy" oceanfront condo is ideal for a family vacation or last-min. beach trip! Flat screen TV's in the living room and both bedrooms, as well as high speed, secure internet (not shared with the rest of the building). The Ocean Front master bedroom has a king-sized bed with a new Beautyrest bed, private full bath with rainwater shower and detachable hand-held wand, and access to the oceanfront balcony. There are 2 twin beds In the street-facing second bedroom with access to the full hall bathroom with tub/shower. These can also be converted to a king bed with a converter kit supplied. There is also a queen sleeper couch with upgraded Memory Foam bed in the living room should you need the additional bed space. The oceanfront balcony offers charming vistas (make sure to catch at least one sunrise on your stay). The kitchen is entirely equipped with everything you need for a week at the beach (and all appliances are brand new), with a Ninja Mega-Kitchen System blender, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, microwave, and J. A. Henckels kitchen cutlery. But, if you'd rather not prepare, there are loads of eateries really close by. Some of our favorites are Kate's Pancake House, Havana's, Michaelangelo's Pizza, Pop's Diner, and of course, the famed Britt's Donuts. And the Veggie Wagon (just across US 421) is a real treat, offering farm-fresh veggies, freshly baked baguettes, deli sandwiches, take-and-bake pizza's, fruit smoothies, and a pretty good selection of beer and wine.
In addition to a great time on the beach, you have access to bicycle units just two blocks away (one of our family's favorite activities is to bicycle down to Fort Fisher and catch the ferry to Southport). The Carolina Beach Greenway is accessible at the lake which is just across the street. Here you will find a nice walking, running, cycling, or skating trail, peddle boat units, and there are family movies every Sunday nighttime.
Two blocks away you will find the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, with stores, eateries, Britt's Donuts and an amusement park. Thursday nights there are fireworks from the boardwalk. See them there, or appreciate them from the beach or the deck of the condo.
The unit has cavernous covered parking that can accommodate two bigger sized cars or three smaller ones. We've been coming to Carolina Beach for over 20 years and have owned this unit since 2008. It's slow-paced and calming, a ideal location for a family wanting to relax or for a couple looking for a peaceful, charming hideaway. We appreciate spending time here, and we think you will too! Savor!
