Dreamy oceanfront escape near the pier with close beach access

Oceanfront A3 Island North Surfsound

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

The coastal lifestyle is just what you need to escape the mundane and let all of your cares slip away with the tide! Right across the street from the beach, this oceanfront home offers a back deck and three-sided ocean views, with every window facing the water. Start each morning by greeting the sunshine and salty air with a cup of coffee in hand on your balcony before slipping into your swimsuit for dreamy beach days. The Carolina Beach pier, ample restaurants, and shopping are within walking distance of home base when you feel like venturing out. The shared pool will be just the place to escape the heat, mere steps from your door! There's also a beachfront gazebo on-site - perfect for toasting drinks at sunset.

Inside, this gem is overflowing with coastal themes, natural light, and the modern comforts of home. Meals will be a breeze to prepare in the full kitchen boasting beautiful countertops, stainless steel appliances, a high-end coffee maker,a toaster, and modern cookware. Plus, everyone can take their pick of gathering for meals at the dining table, in the living area for casual meals while watching favorite shows, or out on the balcony. Don't worry about packing your entire wardrobe either, as the private washer and dryer are more than ready to keep swimsuits and towels clean during your stay. New beach toys and chairs are waiting for you in the closet.

This condo unit is ideally located just across the street from the ocean—approximately 60 feet away—and offers stunning three-sided ocean views. While the property was previously considered oceanfront, recent coastal erosion and the addition of large rocks have altered direct beach access. Guests can now easily reach the sand via a short walk to either the nearby state park entrance to the north or the beach access path off Carolina Beach Avenue to the south. A convenient hose is provided for rinsing off sand before entering the unit.

This is a truly special getaway, so book your stay while this waterfront gem lasts!

Excellent location. Unobstructed view of the ocean. Short walk to the beach & to the pier. We loved sitting on the deck and listening to the live bands playing at the pier!

Perfect sisters getaway

Being at the end of the beach was wonderful. Great view and very peaceful. Loved watching the surfers. The condo was pretty and comfortable. The stairs were a challenge as we are all older but it was worth the climb. Will definitely stay here again!

Best location on the island

Everything was exceptional. The place was spotless. The sunrise was glorious, great restaurants, friendly people. The beach north of the pier was very accessible and the best we saw on the island. This was truly the best vacation experience one could hope for. I wrote the entry combination down wrong and the maintenance man responded right away. He couldn't believe the views from every door and window - and I'm sure he sees a lot. I would give it a higher rating if I could!

Fun & Entertaining stay!

After the initial shock of seeing no beach in front of the condo, only huge boulders, we found that on the other side of the pier there is great beach access! It is just a short little walk! Also, the surfers were constantly surfing, and was great entertainment! The tiki bar next-door had nightly entertainment and pumpkins galore for the fall season with small little bonfires to roast marshmallows! It was a great time to go… Weather was perfect in the condo was lovely! We will definitely keep this one in mind for next fall when we make a beach trip ! It’s a lovely condo with more than enough necessities! Decorated really nice and was very clean! Enjoyed our stay very much! Thank you 🙏

Nice family getaway

This property was very nice on the inside. A little dated on the outside but the inside is what matters. There a quite a few stairs to the condo which could be difficult for some but we needed the exercise. Lol The location and view were great! We were steps from the beach and it was not crowded (which was super nice especially since we were there for July 4 week). The furniture was nice and comfy! The kitchen had all the essentials and we were able to cook and enjoy going out to eat. The pool was small but very clean and we had it to ourselves most of the time. Lots of good food nearby! We ate at Carolina Smokehouse, Island Burgers and Bites, Pop’s Diner and Wake and Bake Donuts! All wonderful. Wilmington is very close to visit! Overall a great location for an awesome relaxing family vacation!

Nice View!

Our stay was pretty good at this property. There were a few glitches so I'll first start with the positives: The home was very clean. The kitchen was beautiful. The beds and furniture were comfortable. The views from the condo are lovely. Miniature soaps, shampoos, etc. are provided. A set of towels was on each bed. The listing does not include a hair dryer as an amenity but there was one under a sink. Mediocre: The condo is oceanfront-ish. You have a lovely view but have to walk to the other side of the pier for access due to beach erosion. Not a huge deal but FYI. The smell in the stairwell is not awesome. Bathroom fixtures holding toilet paper are rusty and should be replaced. Negatives: The HVAC had a very hard time keeping up with the 100-degree temps. Our last night, it never got below 75 but the first night got to 71. We were strict about keeping all shades & curtains closed to help the situation. We even kept all ceiling fans on high. The ceiling fan in the bunk room is off balance and needs to be fixed or replaced. There are two total beach chairs, both which should be thrown away and replaced. They are tiny and rust-covered. All things considered, I would stay here again if some of these items are addressed. The property is managed by Vacasa & I could never get anyone to answer the phone (I accidentally left some clothes-totally my fault but someone answering the phone or responding to my message would be great customer service).

Beautiful, peaceful location

The location has a beautiful view and is easy to get to. Close to Carolina Beach Boardwalk. The unit is beautiful with very comfortable bedding and furniture. It is equipped with just about everything you would have in a home.

Lovely place!

We enjoyed our week here! The place was really clean! And the beach was super close and not too crowded! The only complaint we had was there were a few small roaches but nothing a bit of raid can fix. Other than that our stay was nice!
