CB Bungalow 1 | Short Walk to Beach, Bars, Dining
Loved the stay. The location was great for all the local bars and attractions. And at the night it’s very peaceful with little to no noise. Definitely would stay again

Ocean Breeze, Beautiful Ocean Front Townhome
Rob's place is the perfect retreat for rest and relaxation! The view from the master bedroom's upstairs deck is wonderful. Leave the door open at night and be lulled to sleep with the calming sounds of waves. The sunrises are spectacular! The beach is not crowded and there is plenty of space for all your beach gear, tents, chairs, etc. Rob's Ocean Breeze (ocean front) townhouse is spacious with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. The place is very clean and decorated in a coastal theme. He provides all the amenities you need to enjoy your beach getaway. The private beach access is literally steps away from the back deck. It's about 50 yards from the townhouse to the ocean. The Kure Beach Fishing Pier is just a 1/2 mile walk from Rob's place. Once you've arrived at the pier, you can browse through the pier's gift shop before heading out to the town of Kure Beach where you can eat at one of the town's local restaurants. The vibe at Kure Beach is fun and festive!

Sweet Carolina Ocean View, Luxury Top Floor 403
Kimberly is a super-duper host. Her apartment was over-the-top clean, spacious, and well stocked with all kinds of kitchen wares and all the usual items you need on day one so you don’t have to dash to the grocery. And the location is the best, I think, in Carolina Beach. The building is new, modern, and quiet. You can easily walk to nearby restaurants, the Boardwalk, and all through the old neighborhoods. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

5-Minute Walk to Beach & Boardwalk, Private Porch!
We had a lovely weekend trip and the townhouse was so cute. Loved the easy walk to the beach and boardwalk!

Carolina Beach Cabana Boardwalk and Beach Condo
Really great location! The beach and theme park area we're an extremely short walk away. The building also had great vending machines, a small arcade, and private showers.

Steps to the Beach: Weekly Discounts
We loved our stay in Carolina Beach! This house is a GEM - so clean, literally steps from the beach, and slept 9 adults very comfortably! This was one of the best stocked Airbnb kitchens I’ve ever stayed in. Lindsey thought of everything. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer. Would highly recommend booking!

One Beach’in Cottage, walk to the beach!
My husband and I just returned from our second stay at One Beachin' Cottage for a long Memorial Day weekend. The cottage is comfy & we appreciate that it's pet friendly. Although the street where the Cottage is quiet and fairly traffic-free, it's walkable to the beach, restaurants, and the boardwalk. We appreciated how close it is to the Tiki Bar, The Spot, and the Veggie Wagon. We will definitely be back!

2 mins to beach - Pets OK - Kitchenette - W/D
My family and I enjoyed our weekend at Skipper’s place. It was a nice area in a wonderful friendly neighborhood. The walk to the beach wasn’t very long and the place had all the amenities you could need. Would recommend to a couple staying in the area!

Ocean View! No Pet Fee! Come Relax @ The Escape CB
Matthew's place was awesome! Very close to the beach and near the main hub of Carolina Beach where you can get food and drinks!

One Bedroom Condo Minutes From the Beach
We had an amazing weekend with lots do do and tons of fun. I would highly recommend.

The Gathering Place Condo w/ Ocean Views & Pool
My husband and I came down for a quick couple days get away, and it was a perfect place to stay! Convenient to everything, steps from the beach, and very private and quiet. We enjoyed taking a dip in the pool after spending a couple hours on the beach! We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Beachfront Condo, Steps to the Beach
We stayed the weekend as a little beach getaway for our son’s 1st birthday, and couldn’t have had a better experience! The condo was clean and had beautiful surroundings. Very peaceful and relaxing!

OCEANFRONT & ON the BOARDWALK! Unbelievable VIEWS
This is a great location for walking to the boardwalk, and we were happy to have an elevator since our group included my elderly mother and little kids. Beds were super comfortable. Carnival and fireworks at night were great. Warning to toddler parents: our two year old was able to fit his head and most of his body between the rails on the balcony (and he refused to stop doing it), so we had to make the balcony off limits. The bunk room is on the street side of the building and you can hear the music coming from the bar next door late into the night, although our kids slept fine with a white noise machine. The queen bedroom has no windows and was quiet.

Take a Break at Shore Break!
We spent a beautiful and relaxing week at Wendy & Jeff's Seascape. The place is EXACTLY like the photos, the view from the balcony is a dream!! Waking up to the ocean sounds every morning is something we will never forget. The apartment is very well-stocked with all the items you need to enjoy the beach, clean up afterward (lots of hot water and good shower pressure!) and cook a delicious meal (plenty of kitchen gadgets). Very easy to walk around the neighborhood, up to the pier for quick eats, or less than a mile to the little mini-mart. Parking is easy. Area is safe. The pool area across the street was clean and fun too! The hosts gave excellent, clear instructions for arrival/departure and even checked in on us via the app during our stay. Thank you so much, Wendy & Jeff!

After Dune Delight
10/10 experience. Host was very accommodating, professional, and very personable. We enjoyed our stay and would 110% recommend to anyone!!! Will definitely be back!!

Shell of a Vibe Beach Condo - Oceanfront and Chill
It was our 40th anniversary and we decided that we wanted to go to our favorite beach in North Carolina. We could see the ocean from this apartment and a very short walk to the beach. Enjoyed sleeping on the beds and having 2 bathrooms were fantastic. AC was great and water pressure in shower, was too. They had everything you needed and didnt lack on the supplies. It was a memorable vacation that we will never forget. Thanks Curtis

Ocean Vibes on the ICWW. w/pier and on peninsula
Wonderful place! The sandbar was the most amazing part! We loved kayaking around and swimming! We will be back for sure!!

The Salty Kure - by the Pier II
Christine was a responsive and kind host. The unit was a great deal and was perfect for my wife and I and our baby! The pullout couch was a pleasant surprise and the place was clean and comfortable. I think we found our regular getaway until we have more children! Thanks Christine!

Waterfront Retreat
The property is absolutely beautiful and is furnished with a very cozy, homey, shabby chic meets beach cottage feel and it makes you feel right at home. The modern kitchen has everything you could ever need, the bedrooms are nicely appointed with bamboo sheets and fluffy comforters. The living room is comfortable and has all the modern technology (if you need to stay connected). But it was the view that was what wowed us the most. From inside the cottage, to the comfortable back deck, to dock, the view as spectacular and we enjoyed it so much. Joanna was very responsive to the questions that we had and was a lovely host. We will definitely be making a return to the property.

Luxury Beachfront! 2nd Floor Full Ocean Views!
This Airbnb at Carolina Beach, NC, was an absolute 10/10 experience. The rental was perfectly located right on the beach, offering stunning ocean views and easy access to the sand and surf. The space was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The host was incredibly responsive and welcoming, making the entire stay smooth and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better beach retreat! One of the best AirBnb experiences I have ever had. :)

Better Daze - 1 Block To Beach
This place was absolutely perfect. Michael was amazing and kind from the start. The location was super close and convenient to the beach being just a block away. A cute and quaint place. We will definitely be back.

Beauty & The Beach | Ocean Views | Near Boardwalk
Cacky’a place was in a great location on Carolina Beach and a quick easy walk to the boardwalk. We loved how close it was to the lake with a nice walking path. The condo was clean and spacious for our family of 3. We would definitely not hesitate to book again!

The Oceanfront
Beautiful pristine breach condo, beautifully decorated and fully stocked with anything and everything you could think of. There are not enough words to describe the view. Early check in and check out, the hosts were so kind thoughtful and responsive. This is my third summer traveling to SC/NC this was by far the best experience. I not only had a beautiful stay and made beautiful memories I gained a new friends, Denise and family are wonderful. 10/10 recommend. Thank you so much!
