The kitchen was very well stocked. It was also nicely stocked with linens, trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, and dish soap. The best we’ve experienced. Appliances were nice; refrigerator/freezer, microwave, stove, oven, crockpot, coffee maker, toaster. Nice Roku TVs were in all 3 bedrooms and in the den. Comfortable beds. Closets were nice and there were plenty of coat hangers. Towels for the beach were a nice touch!Overall, a very nice experience.

We booked our stay well in advance and timed it perfectly at the end of the busy season. The town itself is super cute, and having dedicated parking was a big plus. The view was exactly as pictured—beautiful and relaxing. The property was well-stocked with everything we needed, which made it easy to settle in without overpacking. While we couldn’t get the internet to work, it wasn’t a priority for us and didn’t impact our experience. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay!

Beautiful condo and great property owners!

This unit was absolutely beautiful, with a very calming aesthetic and not over the top with beachy decor. It was just the right size for three adults and a kid, and probably could accommodate an extra adult and extra child 🙂 I messaged the property owner a couple of times with questions, and they were very quick to respond and extremely helpful. I'd like to stay here again next time I'm in Carolina Beach!

A break before school starts

We had a great time! Great location to beach access, Boardwalk, restaurants, etc. The listing for the condo was just as listed on VRBO. Next time, we may ask to use the elevator (instead of 3 flights of stairs) if elderly family members plan to visit.

This place is great!

We loved staying at Ben's place! The location is great and within walking distance to the boardwalk and plenty of restaurants which is great so you don't have to pay to park places. The place is very clean and well appointed. Lots of spaces which is great. Our favorite part is the deck. There's plenty of space to sit and enjoy your coffee as the sun comes up in the morning or to sip a glass of wine in the evening and talk with your friends or family. Highly recommend and we will be back in the future.
