** Important Flooding Information **
Because this is a canal-front property, Canal Drive can experience flooding during strong storms or King Tides. Water may enter the carport and lower entry area during these events. The area is designed to drain as the tide recedes. We recommend reviewing the North Carolina King Tide Chart when planning your stay, particularly during periods when higher-than-normal tides are expected.
Come experience the best of Carolina Beach at Docks, Decks and Sunsets — where beach days, boating, waterfront dinners, and unforgettable sunsets are all part of the vacation.

I’d recommend to anyone!
Anita T., Auburn, NY United States
We had an amazing week at this lovely home! The configuration is perfect for our whole family along with dogs to spend the week together while having space to ourselves at bedtime. Having direct access to the waterway was perfect for when a beach trek was a bit too much for my infant grandson and we enjoyed use of the kayaks and other water toys. The stairs gave us a workout but it was absolutely worth it for this clean, comfortable, and inviting home. I’d recommend to anyone!
Manager's Response
Thank you for your review! We're so glad your family had a great week together. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the home and all it has to offer. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
Best of both worlds
Julie B., Huntersville, NC United States
Not everyone in our family likes the beach and this location solves that problem. It is a short walk to the beach which can provide all the entertainment you need. But the dock on the water way provides alternative activities like kayaking and paddle boarding. This makes it the perfect stay for a diverse family. The home is clean and has a lot of cooking supplies. Overall a great stay!
NC family reunion
Tim A., Traverse City, MI US
We were coming down for a family reunion to watch our son run in the marathon. Needed a place for potentially 10 people to stay along with dog. This place was perfect. Everyone had their own area and a common area for all to interact as a family. Beautiful spot on the waterway (the picture isn't enhanced in any way). Saw a dolphin swim by just sitting out on the deck. Close enough to Wilmington but not the crowds. Great company to work with when we had a minor issue with the batteries on the door lock going bad. Great area to walk out front and walking distance to places to eat and see the marina.
Beach time
Recent Guest, Greenwich, CT US
Perfect location to enjoy the beach as well as the calm of the intercoastal. Close enough to walk to downtown and enjoy activities. Night time was quiet and serene.
Beautiful views!
Kristina S., Crestwood, KY US
The house was just what we needed for all of us. Plenty of room, very cool inside, comfortable, very well stocked kitchen, LOADS of activities for our 4 boys. They really enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaking. The walk to the beach was a breeze. I knew there were a lot of stairs, but it was worth it. The only thing that I would have liked was a cabinet or pantry to put our groceries in. The lazy susan had some space in it, but we ended up having to put most of our groceries on the bar. Overall, the location was excellent, the amenities were excellent, the home was very nicely furnished, very cool inside, beds were comfortable, and the home had everything we needed. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!
20-27 June 2025
Andrew C., Wilmington, NC United States
This property was just right for us. Our main intention and activity for our stay was fishing. The dock was just right for us with very easy access to the ICW and CB inlet. There is plenty of water under it at low tide, suitable for large boats up to 30+ feet. The location is just 1 mile from the boardwalk, shops and restaurants of CB. The view is very nice. The condo is well appointed and the kitchen met all of our needs. There are paddle boards and kayaks which we did not use. The unit was clean for sure when we arrived. I did not choose 5 stars for this (spotless) because the carpet through out (only in bedrooms), is in need of replacing. There are scuffs on many walls. With so many renters using properties, it’s to be expected. It is however a little stressful after you check in and consider what damage you should report, wondering what is already known or could some of it be new from the last renter. It can be time consuming to annotate everything so I tried to summarize instead of annotating it all. This condition did not bother us at all aside from trying to make sure it was known. We would stay here again, it was perfect for our needs.
Awesome views!
Melanie S., SELMA, NC United States
This rental was a delight and perfect for our family gathering. There was plenty of room. Communication, cleanliness, overall amenities were exactly as described and couldn't have asked for more.

Great vacation at Carolina Beach! House and location were both amazing. House was well equipped with everything we needed. View from the three balconies was beautiful watching the sunrise and sunset. Management responded quickly and helped with all our needs.
A Week at Docks, Decks and Sunsets
Recent Guest, Wilmington, NC Unknown
Mostly wonderful. I was scolded because I did not register in advance that we had dogs with us, but I did not find anywhere on the form to indicate that.
Beautiful location and comfortable condo
Recent Guest, Auburn, AL United States
We had a great stay! The condo is spacious with comfortable beds and well-equipped kitchen (although there is no pantry space available). Gorgeous sunset views and a block to the beach for sunrise and beach walks. Management was very responsive.
Fantastic!
laura l., Cary, NC US
We had a group of 4 couples, attending a wedding in Wilmington. Plenty of room for all! Loved the living room/kitchen area with the view/balcony. We enjoyed having coffee together in the mornings and cocktails in the evenings! House had everything we needed for cooking! Very clean. Great location!
A Nice Experience
James C., Suffolk, VA US
Really enjoyed the property. Being on the canal was nice. Kayaks and paddle boards available for use along with a grass grill. Was nice to hang out on the decks facing the canal. Kitchen was well stocked. Location was only 1.5 blocks from the beach. More or less had to drive to get to shops and restaurants being a ways up the strip between the canal and the ocean. Lots of steps being 4 levels. Only negative was the shower and tubs could have been cleaned a bit better.
A great family time.
Lula D., Hillsborough, NC United States
We had an amazing family vacation. The home was perfect in every way, clean, well stocked, and it was in a great location. My granddaughters learned to paddle board, and kayak. We all fished off the pier and watdhed beautiful sunsets.
Rental Review
Recent Guest, Moncks Corner, SC US
It was awesome! We had so much fun on the dock with the paddleboards we barely went to the beach. Only complaint is the flooding at hi tide. We had to park the car several blocks from the house and walk through water to get home. Other than that, very good experience.
Great views in a well equipped house!
Joan L., Hampstead, NC US
Great views in a very well-equipped, user-friendly house. I loved that everything was labeled. It was very clean and we had great communication with the property manager. Good location too. Lots of steps!
Perfect location and beautiful townhome!
Recent Guest, Farmingdale, NY Unknown
Well equipped with everything you need for a perfect vacation! Owners thought of everything!
Beachy decor throughout and spectacular views that just never get old to look at! Clean, spacious and steps from the most gorgeous serene and spacious beach!
PEACEFUL GETAWAY
A. Dorsey, Houston, TX United States
Property is so peaceful and relaxing!! We enjoyed storm clouds and rainbows on the beach side and relaxing views of boats & birds on the bay side. Walking to the beach could not be easier - so close! Bedrooms were comfortable and kitchen well-appointed. 2 kings, 2 queens and 3 bunks from what I remember. No complaints at all!!!
Amazing and Relaxing Rolled into One
Amy Sabalesky, Houston, TX United States
Stayed here for a girls weekend. We had a blast. The location was perfect. We loved looking out on the bay side. Watched a family of ducks glide by. Saw pelicans. Enjoyed the boats, kayakers and paddle boards too. On that note, several in our group used the onsite paddle boards & kayaks and had a great time. Some of us walked the really short distance over to the beach and got some great sun. We also walked down to the boardwalk. Cute shops and rides. The house was really spacious. We never got in each other's way. We also made good use of the games provided. We purchased fresh seafood from the local seafood market and had some seriously good meals. Then of course there was wine... :-) I would highly recommend this house to everybody. Just don't try to steal the weekend that I want to return LOL.

Beautiful area and location. Condo was nicely furnished and everything needed for our stay was supplied. Owners were present during renovations on another unit and were very friendly and accommodating. A lot of steps for someone elderly or with knee issues but necessary due to location.

beautiful water front property
Sandra R., Marietta, PA US
Hi my name is Sandra I want to tell you that we had a wonderful stay at Docks, Decks and Sunsets. We come to NC every year to visit my husbands brother and family. My husbands brother has a boat and he brought it over for the week. The boat slip is perfect. My husband and I love to fish and crab so having the boat slip there was perfect. The house was very clean and I loved the different levels. We got a great work out going up and down the steeps but it's worth the view and location. Sandra Reich

Recent Guest, Greensboro, NC United States
The place is very nice and had everything we needed. Views of the sunset were perfect. The only downside is all the stairs when you first get there lugging all your groceries and luggage, but once you've done that just relax on any of the three decks overlooking the waterway and then just a block over to the beach access.
