** 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.

The host company (A1Property) was a treat to work with and very responsive to an issue with the electric lock batteries going dead. This was a great location for us in our visit to the Wilmington area to watch our son run in the marathon and visit with him and his fiance

Beautiful views, comfortable home, close to everything, loads of activities! We really enjoyed the paddle boards, kayaking and canoeing in the bay. The beach was an easy walk. Our boys really enjoyed surfing. Our boys went to the nearby skate park nearly every night. We will definitely return!

Beautiful home. Very clean and everything you need except beach chairs which would have been nice to know before we left home to travel.. The two flights of steep stairs to get in and out of home is dangerous for anyone. Carrying in bags was not fun at all. Also, the grill and gazebo are shared and the family of 15 in unit next door would not share. View of canal was spectacular.
