Aug 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Convenient Oceanfront Location The best oceanfront location at the beach. Just a few steps to the beach and the boardwalk. We were able to watch the fireworks display from the balcony. Condo was clean and the property manager was very communicative. ##### Rochelle H. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lora F. Dec 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Can’t beat the Cabana Best location in Carolina Beach for access to the action yet in a quiet location. While you can clearly hear the music booming out of the Sea Witch from the outdoor hallway, the actual units are quiet and peaceful. ##### Lora F. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great location This is a nice condo in a great area, easy access to the beach, and within walking distance to everything. It was subpar in cleanliness and early communication with the host. Our card was charged without informing us before or after. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph Aug 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Could've used some cloth hangers ##### Joseph Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Vicki S. May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Disappointing The code given for the key pad to the room was incorrect,the key pad would not work at all when we came back from walk, had to contact manager to get code to lock box with key. The hot water ran out after 1st shower, had to wait 30 minutes for hot water to catch up and every show or bath afterwards, the rooms were small. Location was good and decor was nice, will stay elsewhere next time. ##### Vicki S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Cherokee-Hotels-Harrahs-Cherokee-Casino-Resort.h13319510.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tipsy Pelican- The Best Place To Relax!
