Clean, conveniently located .
The house was clean and conveniently located. The views were gorgeous. We really enjoyed our stay. I do wish they provided more towels and linens. The listing said they had bikes but we could'nt find any. Since everything is pay for parking on carolina beach, bikes would've been cconvenient to have.

Carolina Beach, Great area
We all really enjoyed this rental and area! We had fun swimming, fishing, canoeing/paddle boarding off the docks, we caught several croakers and spot fish, all of which we released, as they were small, so fun to catch! The beach was super close to walk to for fun beach time and early morning walks… Really, the best of both areas of water…The house was clean and well Maintained and it had pretty much everything we needed in the kitchen and rooms. The laundry room was a plus and much needed. It was nice to have the beach towels available… The accommodation for our dog was perfect! Thank you! We had a wonderful time and it was great area!

Amazing view
Our stay was amazing. We were able to see the ocean and the waterway. I will say, if I had known about all of the stairs, we would have missed out on those perfect views. Very thankful for our stay,

Great stay in Carolina Beach!
We had a great time at Docks, Decks and Sunsets. The sunset views from the 3 canalside decks were truly wonderful. The beautiful dock was a great spot to tie up our boat and the gazebo a great spot any time of day. The clean, well-stocked home is beautiful and comfortable, and a great location on Carolina Beach. We would love to come back to spend another vacation in this great home!!

Family Friendly Fun!
Docks, Decks & Sunsets is the perfect family friendly property! With its gorgeous views of the canal and short walk to Starfish beach it’s location can’t be beat. It is clean, well cared for and true to the images in property listing. The layout is perfect for multiple families and is well suited for visitors of all ages. The property is well stoked with all of the amenities you need as your home away from home. Docks, Decks & Sunsets is just moments away from fantastic food and local attractions. It’s a must stay if planning a trip to Carolina Beach!

Great graduation celebration at the beach
Our intent was to make the best of our daughter’s virtual UNCW graduation by spending a week at the beach with our family. This lovely home did not disappoint! It is well-appointed, had tons of space for the 9 of us, is a short walk to the beach and delighted us with sunset views off the numerous decks. There are a number of stairs which could be a problem for some but did not bother us - although it took our dog half the week to get the nerve to go down them! (Nice neighbors too!) We would absolutely rent this property again.

Great time in Carolina Beach
We had a great time at this property. Lots of sleeping accommodations. On the canal with a great dock and a very short two block walk to a beautiful section of beach. We had a great time.
