Costal Cabana is a wonderful place to stay. The location can’t be beat, the house is beautiful and so comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were very comfortable, and we loved the front porch with the view of the water. The beach is a short walk from the house. Grant and Laura were very responsive when we reached out. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back. You can’t go wrong with choosing there home for you beach vacation!

Great place in the perfect location, right by the beach and super close to all the bars/restaurants (like a 2 min walk) but not so close that noise or traffic is at all an issue. Shelley is awesome and was super kind and responsive 😭❤️

Mikes home WAS a little piece of paradise. The home, yard, parking and amenities were BETTER than described. We were pleased with the private outdoor sitting at Mikes beach. The appliances were top shelf. The kitchen had everything we needed. The doggie gates were priceless. The home was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The house was very clean. We liked having a washer and dryer. We enjoyed our time on the back porch. The views are amazing. Thank you Mike for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was the perfect peaceful time we needed.

We really enjoyed our stay. We stayed right at the start of off season to have a quiet getaway on the beach and it was perfect. Not busy but close to the fort and aquarium and Carolina Beach restaurants.

Perfect for a couples getaway. You can NOT beat the view! It was easy to find, and bonus, it's right across the street from Granny's Country Kitchen (the best food)! The bed was incredibly comfortable. The hosts were incredibly responsive and thoughtful. This is definitely a hidden treasure. We had a great time!

Great place. The only issue was the small sugar ants in the kitchen. I would just suggest an exterminator contract for the property if there is not already one. Other than that, the place is beautiful and would def stay again!! Thanks

Great place to spend Thanksgiving. Beautifully built 4 story building with lots of ocean/marina views. Large kitchen with long, casual table. Great outdoor space, especially top floor with hot tub and several seating areas with views. Large bedrooms and bathrooms. Good quad workout on stairs or private elevator to move easily between floors. Secure, private parking on 1st level. Easy walk to beach, marina, restaurants etc. Ramith is a quality host and responded quickly to any questions.

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 52 reviewsTownhome with private POOL 3-blocks from the Beach
Markus and Ashley were great hosts. They were proactive in there communication and super responsive. The home is beautiful and was spotless. Our grandson enjoyed the private pool for hours and the house was well stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas and carts. The location was perfect....a 5 minute walk to the beach, but at the end of a small private street to make the evenings quiet and relaxing. If you are coming to Carolina Beach, we highly recommend this home because you will have a great stay. Brian G.

We loved our time at The Boardwalk Beauty! Perfect place for our Thanksgiving gathering. The kitchen was spacious and easy to cook in. I loved that the gas grill was right off the kitchen as well ! The 2 living areas allowed Football on one TV and “chick flicks” on the other🙌🏻 The beds and bedding were so comfortable. Plenty of towels , including beach towels for the hot tub, which we all enjoyed ! (very clean and easy to use) Its worth noting if you don’t catch in the description, the Kitchen along with Master Bedroom and one living room are on the top floor. Two steep sets of stairs up. (getting everything”up” there on arrival is definitely trickier than hauling back down on departure!😂) This was no problem for us but it could be for some folks. We loved all of the outdoor decks/porches and comfortable seating! Our weather was great so we spent lots of time outside. The walk to the beach is easy and there are definitely close restaurants, bars and coffee shops to explore . 🌅

We had a wonderful time at Carolina Beach and staying at David’s place. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need. It was so nice having sheets, bath towels, toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags available upon arrival. David was a great communicator and updated us during our stay with important information, which I found very helpful. Super great location to the beach and lots of things to do. Would definitely be back! Thanks again!
