    "it's good neighborhood and the beach is the best. Beautiful sunrise and driving distance to shops and restaurants."
  • Jw4778
    "The Christmas arts and craft market and the flotilla. The fishing pier and the boardwalk at the park. "
  • Mgawker
    "Lots of dogs. Very pet friendly. Lots on the beach off season or in the early AM or evenings during summer. "
  • Shanty N.
    "Good neighborhood and close to the beach and still safe but parent still need to be very careful with the kids"
  • Cre84all
    "Dogs are welcome. An abnormal number of people use ‘leaf’ blowers for tiny yards..sometimes with no trees??? It bothers me, so I’m imagining dogs don’t like it either... I’m hoping there will a rake revival."
  • Kelly
    "I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 3 years and I love it. The area is beautiful and the homes are well maintained. However, there are no sidewalks, NO privacy and the people are VERY nosy in general. Also the HOA’s run everything, they literally tell you what you can and cannot do in your own home and yard. Every last little detail."
  • Geoff
    "Friendly fun area, with character, reminds me of the beach towns from many years ago from childhood in the 60’s and 70’s"
  • Pammo2281
    "We just bought a second home here last month. The neighbors are friendly and the beach is a few blocks away. I can’t wait to get here every weekend,"
  • Lisa S. M.
    "It’s a hidden gem that is only 6 blocks from the ocean. We can hear the waves crash in the shoreline from our backyard. "
  • Lisa J.
    "I can see the salt marsh from my back deck and the ocean from my dining room window. I am steps from the pier grill and the pier lounge that has the best view in the island. I love where I live"
  • kba719
    "We are so impressed with this hidden treasure of Carolina Beach. The restaurants are excellent and the beach is beautiful. Waterview's location is awesome and the condo's are beautiful. This is a great family beach!"
  • EZbeachlivin
    "Pretty fun area. Boardwalk is okay but not for little kids. For the most part people keep to themselves. Beach is beautiful and you can walk to just about everything."
