The elevator is private to the penthouse -- not shared with the condos on the first and second floors. Weight limit is 500 pounds -- please do not exceed this weight limit!

The private boardwalk to the ocean is shared with the guests at the other units.

Covered parking is available for 4-5 cars. These spaces are used exclusively by penthouse guests. The driveway on the right side is shared with the other units.

Guest access
Guests have access to a private elevator to the penthouse suite. The unit is also accessible by an interior staircase.

The beach is accessible by a private, gated boardwalk that is shared with the lower units of the building. A beach wagon, chairs and plasticware are available for your beach outings.

There are 5 covered parking spots that are exclusive to the penthouse. A driveway is shared with the other units. And if you're a darter, bring your darts and enjoy a game of 501 in the breezeway.

A private balcony with a high-top table is the perfect place for your morning coffee, a light meal or a cocktail after dinner.

Other things to note
We are located in a quieter area less than a mile's walk from the boardwalk to the south and the pier to the north. And there's always a golf cart taxi just a few minutes away.

Porchlight Interiors redesigned 2 of the bedrooms, the living room and the dining room in 2026.

One of the things we love most about our penthouse, designed by the former mayor of Carolina Beach, is that it's truly oceanfront. The dining room and balcony provide panoramic views, where -- on a good day -- you'll see the shifting tides, pelicans diving in the surf for dinner and a pod of dolphins swimming by. And if a thunderstorm chases you inside for a few minutes, you just might be treated to a rainbow over the ocean.

Even if you're not an early riser, you should set your alarm -- at least for one day -- to see the sunrise over the ocean. It's purely majestic.

As locals, Michael & Tania are here to answer any questions, tell you about our favorite spots and connect you with the people who can add adventure to your week -- whether it's a boat ride to a private island or a kayak adventure to a shell hunter's paradise.

Most importantly, savor this time with your family and friends. These moments are fleeting, and as the lyric from the Eagles song goes, "You'll never be here again." And it's not about the place -- it's about the moment, the feeling and the memories that transcend generations. In a decade, when you feel the memories that warm your heart, we'll be honored if those happened at our penthouse.
