We still have a few July and August dates available at Sweet Hideaways Carolina Beach! Our family-friendly condo has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 6, and is the perfect home base for beach days, sunset walks, and making your own summer memories.

Come experience a little Cousins Beach magic… Carolina Beach style. ☀️🏖️

If you know, you KNOW * The 46th beach access on Oak Island is hands down one of the BEST spots-and here's why:
- Easy drop-off with a roundabout (no stress unloading kids + gear)
- Real bathrooms ($
- No houses crowding the view = wide open beach vibes
- Outdoor showers + foot wash stations
- Handicap parking + ramp access
- Viewing deck + picnic tables for chill breaks
- Mobi mats = perfect for wheelchairs, wagons & strollers

Bonus: it's just a 10-15 minute walk from our Airbnb, and honestly... walking back with my boys after a beach day is one of my favorite parts
