Family friendly vacation rentals in Carolina Beach

This is a great location for walking to the boardwalk, and we were happy to have an elevator since our group included my elderly mother and little kids. Beds were super comfortable. Carnival and fireworks at night were great. Warning to toddler parents: our two year old was able to fit his head and most of his body between the rails on the balcony (and he refused to stop doing it), so we had to make the balcony off limits. The bunk room is on the street side of the building and you can hear the music coming from the bar next door late into the night, although our kids slept fine with a white noise machine. The queen bedroom has no windows and was quiet.

Great stay at Gregory's condo. Enjoyed both balconies, which had comfortable furniture and front balcony has 2 views of the ocean! Two beach chairs, towels and umbrella provided, which was nice since we flew. Pier with tiki bar, food and ice cream is a block away- really nice views too! Pool was an added bonus!

Beautiful view of ICW and ocean from your own personal deck! The deck furniture got an upgrade and are two Adirondack high chairs (comfy!) but no table. Only a mile away from the downtown area of Carolina beach, perfect if you love a little bike ride to get to breakfast or dinner. About 20-30 min to downtown Wilmington. Very short walk to the beach, easy to pop back for lunch or the bathroom. Host gave excellent recommendations for local events and restaurants. Provided ample soaps, towels, and detergent. AC worked great and they had an extra fan for the bedroom with darkening blinds. Recommendations for other guests: If you plan to cook know that the kitchen has VERY BASIC kitchen tools/supplies. Beach chairs were Tommy bahama (woo!) but umbrella was broken and other guests haven’t taken good care of other supplies. Bed has a memory foam topper and I’d suggest bringing your own pillow, they have super thick or super thin.

Overall, this was a great experience. She had clear instructions and was very responsive. The place was a short walk from the beach and it was cute and cozy!

David and Nikki’s condo was a great place for our family of four to stay for a short week! David was quick to reply to any of my messages. Also helpful, was a binder full of restaurants including their menus and times of operation. The beach was just steps away, and the condo was bordered by two pools, which our kids loved!

Outstanding weekend getaway for 4 adults plus an infant. Beautiful just sitting on the lanai watching the waves roll in, walking the adjacent boardwalk to the beach or walking to restaurants just a couple blocks away. We’ll be back!

we loved this place, it was right on the water and only a very short walk to the beach access. the view was beautiful and we felt right at home, it was very peaceful and relaxing! we will definitely be planning another stay here in the future!

This place was perfect for my stay! The location was great & had easy access to the beach & the local shops!

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is wonderful. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. The hosts were very kind, generous and helpful. We will definitely be backs

Loved the location. I wasn't sure about everyone in our group liking being so close to the "hubbub", but that ended up being what something we really liked about the place. Lots of things to do that are walkable. Shops, restaurants, bars, coffee houses, a beautiful walkway along the intracoastal waterway, a kids playground... And the view can't be beat! Well stocked kitchen- like truly everything you could possibly need. Lots of seating on the deck. All the things! Mom was over the moon about her 90th birthday celebration.

5 stars – Incredible stay! This was hands down one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had. The space was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described (if not better!). The host was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and thoughtful throughout my stay. Every detail—from check-in to local recommendations—was perfect. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-tier Airbnb stay!

My husband, two dogs, and I spent 4 nights at Lisa's cottage, and it was wonderful. The cottage is very charming, clean, and comfortable, and it has a nice outdoor space in back. Lisa does a great job of anticipating what guests might need, and stocks the cottage accordingly. It is in the perfect location for a Carolina Beach vacation. The beach, boardwalk, Carolina Beach Park, and greenway are close enough to walk or ride bicycles to. Fort Fisher attractions and Carolina Beach State Park are just a short drive away. We enjoyed our stay at Lisa's cottage and would recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Carolina Beach.

We had a wonderful stay! It was a very short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. The house was clean, comfortable, and the perfect place to relax after a day at the beach. Jesse was clear and prompt with all communication and instructions—he was a great host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly stay there again.

Our stay was great. Very flexible and responsive as our trip was very last minute. Within walking distance of the beach as advertised and the pool was lovely! ❤️

We loved the location and as others have mentioned the bathroom is amazing. Perfect spot for a few days at the beach and we would definitely stay again.

We had a great time staying in this cozy cottage. Mike was very responsive and helpful with the questions we had. This is our second time staying in this duplex. Both sides are equally as great! The small fenced in yard for the dogs and being able to sit on the porch where you can hear and see the ocean is so peaceful. Would stay again!

My Boyfriend and I stayed here for a long weekend and really enjoyed our time. The dock is just a short walk away and the cottage is on a beautiful property. We enjoyed an afternoon on two of the tandem kayaks and had two friends join us. We paddled to nearby islands to fish and relax. I would 10/10 recommend this place and might be back soon myself!

Everything was perfect! Beautifully view and great place to stay! Donna was super friendly and helpful through it all! She let us have a beautiful stress free stay. Highly recommend!

A wonderful peaceful place a minute away from the beach a beautiful getaway

Stacy’s home was wonderful! The space was bright and clean, and there was tons to do within a couple of blocks of her home. We will definitely make a return trip at some point!

Will & Morgan been nothing but a joy to work with ! Very flexible and helpful went it came to adjusting some things to fit for me and my fiancé. The home was beyond lovely, nice and secluded but still in the middle of many things ! Next time in Kure beach I’ll most definitely be booking with them again. To Will & Morgan, thank you thank you thank you ! I’m forever indebted to y’all for helping provide a lovely experience at Kure beach for me and my fiancé a 10/10 !!! ❤️

The location of this place is ideal if you want to be close to the water & watch the sunset! We enjoyed the convenience of its location. This unit has the cutest decor. Communication with the host was great, very responsive. We are pretty easy going when it comes to traveling. Two things we would change is the pillows on the bed & having a solid curtain option in the bedroom. Overall a good visit & would stay again!

Laura was wonderful in accommodating my family on their engagement weekend! The cottage is centrally located, and can walk to many eateries, the boardwalk, etc. The Emily exceeded our expectations and Laura was so responsive during our stay. The home was very comfortable and stylishly decorated. The kitchen had everything needed, and they even provided a bottle of Champagne! The screened porch and the outdoor spaces were a huge plus. The cocktail pool was a hit and we loved the green space for our dog Sailor. We would definitely book the Emily again! Thank you Laura and Jonathan for everything!

Had the perfect weekend getaway at this beach condo! The place was clean, cozy, and just steps from the beach. Loved waking up to coffee and Britts doughnut from the boardwalk then relaxing on the balcony before we started the day. Everything was just as pictured-definitely coming back!
