You will love the look and feel of this beautiful home! It is the kind of ocean front home you've dreamed about renting at the beach. Come and enjoy what we have to offer and you'll want to return year after year.

A beautiful sandy beach is just a few steps away with your own private beach access! If you're an early bird you can enjoy your coffee on the seaside deck and watch the sunrise over the Atlantic. With large sliding glass doors all across the ocean side of the home spanning both the kitchen and living room, you'll have a great view of the waves. The living room has plenty of seating and a large flat screen Smart TV and cable. The kitchen is fully equipped with all you'll need - just bring your food. The dining room seats six and the large kitchen island seats four.
The primary bedroom has a brand-new queen mattress and box spring and a flat screen Smart TV. The second bedroom also has a brand-new queen mattress and box spring and a Smart TV. The third bedroom has two sets of bunk beds and a large dresser.

The bedroom has a queen size bed and the full bath has a stall shower. There are sliders out onto the ground floor patio where a charcoal grill is located.

Family Vacay

The house was absolutely perfect for our family stay. Being right on the beach is priceless with children ages 2 & 3. The sunrise views in the morning are beautiful & gets your day started on the right foot. Very centrally located - went to the aquarium one morning (10 minutes away), ice cream right across the street, Tiki Bar a few houses down & Publix one mile away. Love the retro feel of Carolina Beach & watched the surfers every day!

Perfect for Girls Weekend

Everything about this house was just right for our group of 5. The only complaints we had were that the lock box for the key was a bit difficult to open and the showers are really small. But location was perfect and overall property was very nice. Would definitely stay here again!

Awesome beach house at Carolina Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Sol Shine! The house is very well equipped and the kitchen has more useful pots, pans, and utensils than most rentals. We were also really surprised and pleased at how truly dog friendly the house is. The couches even had couch covers and there was a basket of dog items by the door. It’s nice to be in a rental and not feel paranoid about having a dog.It was a bit chilly while we were there, but that didn’t matter because there’s a great view of the ocean from the living room! On days when it was a little warmer, we loved sitting out on the deck and the easy access to the beach. We used the downstairs studio for a younger couple in our family. This worked out perfectly for us, but the 2 floors are a little more separate than we had imagined. I highly recommend this house at Carolina Beach! We had such a great time that we already booked a return visit!

Bringing in the New Year

Enjoyed our time at this great location on Carolina Beach. Beautiful ocean views and close to a variety of restaurants, bars, etc. Location was close for a short drive to the NC Aquarium and a ferry ride to Southport, which made for a great day. House was comfy and we appreciated the private walkway to the beach to take our fur babies for daily strolls. Had a great view from the back deck for the New Year fireworks display at Kure Beach! Hope to return again soon -- had a great time at Sol Shine!

Hope to visit again!

Beautiful ocean front house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only reason for the one 4-star was that I felt during the off-season a fresh coat of paint and some very minor upgrades could have been completed. But that won't stop me from returning!

Wonderful Beach Home At A Great Location

I have been renting homes in Carolina Beach for years and this was our favorite! It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We made most meals in the well appointed kitchen and loved having the beach only steps away. We traveled with 4 adults, 2 teens, 2 kids and 2 dogs, and the layout of the house was ideal. We gave my teen nephews the downstairs apartment and they could not have been happier. We will definitely be staying at Sol-Shine again!

Amazing stay! We will be back!

We needed a place along the NC coast to converge family members from all along the East coast. We had a birthday celebration and this place turned out to be perfect place! The view from the main floor is stunning and pictures don’t do it justice. I loved that the house was well stocked for entertaining. Lots of serving platters and a big island for cooking. Easy and private beach access. We would love to return. Thanks for making it an easy in and out.

Sol Shine beach House.

The property location was just beautiful. It definitely was $1 million view. Most of the beach house accommodations were adequate. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was set up fairly well. The only recommendation I would have for this rental is new shower stalls The water and water pressure was fine, but the shower stalls needed some updating.

Fabulous Views and Wonderful Home!

We had a great weekend at Sol Shine! The photos are a true depiction of the views. Such a smart design. Often the second room with a view is the master bedroom which is nice but you spend such little time there. Having the kitchen with the view was wonderful! We ate at the kitchen table every morning! The house was clean & nicely decorated.

Great Property!

Our family had a wonderful time at Sol Shine! The property was clean and spacious and the back deck was awesome with a private walk way to the beach. The kitchen appeared to be well stocked with dishes/pots etc however we dined out most nights. Several restaurants within walking distance and there was a lovely guide with things to do. Our Thanks to A1 Property Management for making our visit enjoyable. They responded to our questions almost immediately and we’re delightful to work with. We would definitely stay again and recommend the property.

Great Place to stay

Enjoyed it very much...with the the exception of mother nature this week. We did have a couple good days...house was awesome...private access was great...dogs loved it as well...perfect week for a lot of back porch sitting...Fantastic views...we will return. Checkin process was seamless...directions to access everything was great. Could use a bigger grill!...That would be my only suggestion. Thumbs up!! Don't hesitate if you are looking for a nice place to stay...it won't last!!!

Excellent Location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved staying at Sol Shine and spending hours on the porch listening to the waves during our March stay. Would give five stars all around other than two things...1. need a new dishwasher or a major cleaning. We hand washed everything. 2. Showers are pretty small. We managed, but someone of larger stature would probably have trouble.
