Furnished, Turn-Key Carolina Beach Condo with Water Views
Waking up to the ocean every morning changes the rhythm of your day in a way that’s hard to overstate. From this condo, the view begins before you even leave bed, with the Atlantic stretching out in front of you as the sun rises and the light shifts across the water. It’s the kind of start that immediately sets the tone, whether you’re here full time, using it as a second home, or enjoying it as a high-performing coastal investment.
This residence occupies the top two levels of the building, creating a sense of privacy that’s rare in a condo setting. Below the living space is covered parking for three to four vehicles, an especially valuable feature at the beach. Even better, the unit has its own private elevator, servicing only this residence. From groceries to luggage to daily living, that elevator adds a level of convenience and accessibility that elevates the entire experience and makes multi-level living effortless.
One of the most striking features of this condo is its south-facing orientation, which delivers views many coastal properties simply can’t offer. From the two large covered decks, you’re treated to both sunrise over the ocean and sunset over the Intracoastal Waterway, all from the same vantage point. Morning coffee feels unhurried as the sky lightens over the water, while evenings bring a softer glow as the sun settles behind the marsh and boats trace quiet lines across the sound. This dual-water perspective is exceptionally rare and adds both visual interest and long-term desirability.
During the summer months, the decks take on another role as front-row seating for Thursday night fireworks at the boardwalk. Instead of dealing with crowds or traffic, you can enjoy the show from your own outdoor living space, with clear views and coastal breezes. It’s one of those features that guests remember long after they leave, and one that makes ownership feel special week after week.
The condo is part of a four-unit complex that strikes a balance between amenities and ease of ownership. A shared swimming pool is located on-site, offering a refreshing option after a beach day without the responsibility of maintaining it yourself. Landscaping and exterior upkeep are handled for you, so your time here can stay focused on enjoying the location rather than managing it. At the end of the road, a beach access with a lifeguard stand (in season) makes getting to the ocean simple and stress-free. The walk takes about three minutes, which means it’s easy to head back for drinks, snacks, or a change of plans without turning the beach into an all-day logistical event.
Beyond the beach itself, the location offers easy access to some of the area’s most popular spots. Freeman Park is within walking distance, providing a unique stretch of shoreline known for its open views and relaxed atmosphere. The High Tide Lounge Tiki Bar and Grill is also nearby, making it easy to grab a casual meal or a sunset drink without getting in the car. For mornings or mid-day pick-me-ups, the North End Mini Mart and Café is close enough for a 10-minute walk, adding a layer of everyday convenience that’s often missing from coastal properties.
The surrounding community is made up of a thoughtful mix of full-time residents and short-term rentals. This blend creates an environment that feels active and welcoming while still maintaining respect for the neighborhood. Whether you’re planning to live here year-round or use the condo as a rental, the setting supports both lifestyles comfortably.
Inside, the condo is fully turn-key, with new interior paint and furnishings included in the sale, along with all appliances. This allows a new owner to step right into ownership without the delays and decisions that often come with setting up a coastal property. The interior is filled with natural light, thanks to generous windows that frame water views and draw the outdoors in. The brightness enhances the open layout and makes each level feel airy and connected to the surrounding landscape.
The first level of the condo is designed around daily living and entertaining. The main living areas flow together in an open floor plan, making it easy to move between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. Wood flooring runs throughout these areas, adding warmth and durability, while the bedrooms feature new carpet for comfort. Two guest bedrooms are located on this level, each with its own ensuite bathroom, providing privacy and flexibility for guests or renters. This setup works particularly well for hosting multiple parties, as everyone has their own space without feeling disconnected from the main living areas.
The kitchen and living spaces are positioned to take advantage of the light and views, creating an atmosphere that feels connected to the water even when you’re indoors. Whether you’re cooking, relaxing, or entertaining, the layout supports both everyday use and larger gatherings with ease.
Upstairs, the top floor is home to the primary bedroom, an additional guest bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, and the laundry room. This separation between levels allows the primary suite to feel like a private retreat. The primary bedroom includes a private entrance to the covered deck, making it easy to step outside in the morning or unwind in the evening without passing through the rest of the home. From this deck, the water views take on a quieter, more personal feel, perfect for early mornings or late nights.
The additional guest bedroom on this level mirrors the thoughtful design found throughout the condo, with its own ensuite bathroom and comfortable proportions. The placement of the laundry room on the top floor adds everyday practicality, keeping chores close to the bedrooms without disrupting the main living areas.
From an ownership perspective, the HOA coverage is both comprehensive and valuable. It includes exterior maintenance, insurance (wind, hail, and flood), elevator maintenance, pool maintenance, yard maintenance, and common area upkeep. These inclusions significantly reduce the unpredictability of coastal ownership and simplify budgeting, particularly for those who plan to use the property as a second home or rental. Having these major responsibilities managed allows owners to focus on enjoyment rather than logistics.
This condo’s turn-key nature, combined with its solid rental track record, makes it a compelling option for a wide range of buyers. It works equally well as a primary residence, a second home, or an income-producing property. The fact that it’s being sold fully furnished lowers the barrier to entry and allows rental income or personal use to begin immediately. For investors, the layout, location, and amenities align with what renters consistently look for in a coastal stay. For personal use, the ease of ownership and thoughtful design make time here feel truly restorative.
Every aspect of this condo has been shaped by its setting, from the way the light moves through the space to how the decks frame both the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. It offers the rare combination of elevated views, walkable amenities, and low-maintenance ownership, all wrapped into a residence that feels equally suited to everyday living and memorable getaways. Whether you’re watching the sunrise from bed, catching fireworks from the deck, or walking down the road to the beach, this property delivers a coastal experience that’s both effortless and deeply rewarding.

“I would like to share my experience in moving and listing my home with Melanie Cameron. She is absolutely the best...kept me informed on everything happening daily. Helped me coordinate movers and communicated directly with the mortgage company for my buyer. The listing experience was painless and her pictures taken of my home were absolutely beautiful. She never misses a return call and was there for me at settlement. I could not have found a better realtor to get me through this process. Listing or selling she's the best.”

“There aren't words to describe how amazing Melanie and her team are! We've worked with her a couple of times in the past, most recently to sell our home in Wilmington. She knows the market, how to make your home marketable, and really shines in working through offers. She is so communicative and quickly responds to questions. Please give the Cameron Team a shot -- you won't regret it!”

“This was my fourth time working with Melanie Cameron and the Cameron Team. Once again, the experience was outstanding. Every transaction I have done with Melanie has been smooth, professional and successful. Melanie consistently goes above and beyond- from offering expert advice on pricing and presentation, to providing beautiful marketing materials and handling negotiations with skill and confidence. I always feel supported and well-informed through each step of the process. It is rare to find someone this dependable and dedicated, and I wouldn't consider working with anyone else. If you are looking for a trusted agent who delivers results time after time, I can't recommend Melanie Cameron highly enough.”

From the great photos of my house with the marketing to Melanie's expertise in all areas of selling and advising me I was totally satisfied.

“5 stars is simply not enough for Melanie and her team. If you’re looking for a realtor that will educate, advocate, and dedicate themselves along the way - look no further. There are so many unknowns when buying or purchasing a home. Melanie’s knowledge and experience is unmatched. She made the process so simple to understand and made herself available for any and all questions. We felt so comfortable raising our hand, and we were always met with patience and grace. She goes out of her way to make sure you feel supported and confident throughout the whole process. With other realtors, we’ve felt like a transaction or just another number, but Melanie serves as a true advocate along the way. She is fair, honest, and levelheaded, somehow finding the perfect balance across all parties and emotions involved. She has a phenomenal reputation and it was so reassuring knowing other agents enjoy working with her just as much as we do. We could feel her dedication from listing to close. We’ve used her and her team for multiple sales and purchases, and we couldn’t be happier with the results each and every time. The hunt for a realtor can be daunting, especially if you were like us and new to an area with few or no connections. We relied on hearing from others, and we knew the importance of a genuine review, so if you’re here reading just like we were several years ago, I promise you’re in the right place!”

“After an unsuccessful attempt trying to sell with another realtor in Wilmington, we interviewed several others and decided to work with Melanie and her team. We couldn't have been happier with our decision. Melanie provided some tough love advice on improvements we should make to the house before re-listing it (which proved to be right) and promoted the home as only Melanie and her team can. Her extensive use of social media as well as her personal network within the boating community proved to be the difference-maker for our unique home. I whole-heartedly recommend the Cameron Team. We'll use them again, for sure!”

“Melanie impressed us with their professionalism, deep market knowledge, and unwavering dedication. Selling a home can be an emotional and stressful process, but she made it feel effortless and enjoyable. She provided expert advice on how to prepare our home for the market. With the uncertainty of the current economic environment, we were still able to have numerous showings and strong offers, and she negotiated skillfully to get us an incredible final sale price. Communication was fantastic. We were kept informed every step of the way, and every question was answered promptly and thoroughly. Melanie anticipated challenges before they arose and always had a plan in place. It was clear we were in capable, experienced hands from start to finish. Most importantly, Melanie genuinely cared — not just about selling the home, but about making sure we felt supported and confident throughout the entire process. If you’re looking to sell your home and want someone who is smart, responsive, strategic, and deeply committed to getting the best outcome possible, look no further than Melanie. We’re beyond grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to work with Melanie again and recommend her to anyone looking for an agent.”
