** 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 memorable sunsets are all part of the vacation.
