Oceaneer

Oceaneer

10/10 Excellent
"Beautifully appointed renovated hotel. The decor is very contemporary modern with a coastal flair. Stunning ocean front property. Centrally located to well all the Carolina beach things and Kure beach as well. Absolute best for a weekend getaway spot."

Sea Colony by Carolina Retreats

Sea Colony by Carolina Retreats

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic time! 12A is perfect for a couple or family with small children. The condo was well equipped with what you need in the kitchen. Suggest making a TV guide with directions and asking guest to sign out of streaming apps when they leave to make it easier for guest coming in. Overall we would recommend and plan to return."
