Carolina Beach Retreat | Pool, Ocean View, Beach Access & Stylish Decor

Welcome to After Dune Delight, a beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo in the sought-after Ocean Harbor community of Carolina Beach. This inviting coastal retreat is perfect for families and friends seeking a relaxing beach vacation with all the comforts of home. Just steps from the sand, this prime location offers easy beach access, a community pool, and a private back deck where you can unwind and enjoy the ocean view and salty breeze. Don't miss the Carolina Beach Thursday night fireworks from the deck! Outfitted with beach gear and bikes, this getaway ensures an effortless stay full of sun, fun, and adventure.

Step Inside Your Coastal Retreat
As you walk through the door, you’re greeted by an open concept living space designed for relaxation. The spacious kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need—from cookware to modern appliances—making it easy to whip up a family meal. The upscale coastal décor and comfortable furnishings create a welcoming space where you can gather for movie nights or simply unwind after a sun-soaked day.

Step out onto the private back deck and take in the peaceful views and surroundings as you sip your morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Listen to the gentle sounds of the ocean in the distance and enjoy the coastal breeze.

The master bedroom is a true retreat, featuring a plush bed, elegant décor, and a full private bath, making it perfect for a restful night’s sleep. The second bedroom is equally inviting, with a comfortable queen bed and easy access to the charming hall bath—a setup sure to impress guests of all ages. For added enjoyment, use the pullout couch in the living room to include everyone. Don’t forget your furry friend, this condo is pet friendly up to 30lbs!

Unbeatable Amenities for a Perfect Stay
After Dune Delight is packed with thoughtful extras to make your trip unforgettable. Load up the provided beach gear and head to the shore for a day in the sun. Prefer a bike ride? Take the included bikes for a leisurely cruise through town or down to the boardwalk. When you're ready to cool off, the community pool is a refreshing retreat, offering plenty of space to lounge and relax. No matter the preference, After Dune Delight is sure to impress.

Explore the Best of Carolina Beach
Venture beyond the condo and discover all that Carolina Beach has to offer. Just a quick bike ride or short drive away, the Carolina Beach Boardwalk is a must-visit, especially in the summer when it comes alive with live music, a beachfront carnival, and weekly firework shows.

For shopping, stop by Carolina Beach Surf Shop to pick up beach apparel and souvenirs. When hunger strikes, grab a delicious taco at the laid-back Nollie’s Taco Joint or enjoy casual dining at Seawitch Café & Tiki Bar. If you're in the mood for a drink, check out Crush and Grind, where you can sip locally roasted coffee or unwind with a glass of wine. For a quirky and fun night out, visit the Fat Pelican, a beloved local bar with an eclectic atmosphere. And don’t miss The Tropical, a vibrant spot offering tropical-themed drinks, light coastal bites, and a lively rooftop bar with stunning views.
