Best Ocean & Boardwalk Views of Carolina Beach! ~ Kalypso's Nest

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay for our 10th wedding anniversary trip! We really enjoyed the condo and the location. We did have an issue with the AC during part of our stay, but the owners were very responsive, kept us updated, worked to get the issue repaired, and handled the inconvenience appropriately. We really appreciated how they handled everything.Overall, we had a great trip and truly enjoyed our time here. The condo was the perfect home base for our Carolina Beach vacation. We were able to park and walk basically everywhere in the Carolina Beach area. We especially enjoyed the time we got to spend on the balcony—you could even hear the local live music from there. We will definitely be staying again!"

Luxury Oceanfront Top Floor Condo w/ Rooftop Deck, Stunning Views, Pool & Elevator in Downtown CB

8/10 Good

"I thought it would be better for the cost. The second bedroom bathroom was very small. The mirror was hardly usable and there was no shower. Being on the top floor exposed us to the AC units on the roof. The kitchen was nice and it had all the amenities needed. The small frying pan was terrible. No matter what you cooked in it, it would stick to the pan. Outside of that, it was great. The TV system was a chore to figure out. It seems there are no commonalities in the cable systems. The ocean view was fantastic! Love the patio and there was enough seating. That part was excellent!"
