Island Joy - Newly Renovated/Walk to the Beach!, hotel in Carolina Beach

Private parking is available on site at this recently renovated property. Outdoor seating is also available at Island Joy - Newly Renovated/Walk to the Beach!.

The home was cozy, clean and so well decorated. The main shower… well… it was magical. I took a shower twice a day or more because I could not get enough of that shower. We came down to visit friends and they also fell in love with the property making the comment that it was one of the nicest homes on the island. The open floor plan allowed for a flow into each room giving the home a much bigger experience. Don’t let the small exterior fool you. The beds are SUPER comfortable. We’ve stayed in many rental homes and this place ranks number one of all the places we’ve ever stayed. Since our friends moved to the island a year ago we are planning multiple trips per year to come down and visit them and we sure hope this place is available. We will be returning. The hosts are also the kindest people to communicate with. Quick responses and made themselves available at any time for any issues.

The entire house was very clean and tidy when we arrived. The check in and check out process was super easy. It was in an excellent location - the most we had to drive to different spots was about 20 minutes. The folks who own the home were very helpful and kind! Would definitely stay again!
