October 1st through March 31st, dogs are allowed on the beach during all hours.
⭐ Heated pools in Carolina Beach and Kure Beach are typically heated seasonally, most often from early spring through fall, when outdoor temperatures allow them to function efficiently. Pool heaters rely on the surrounding air temperature to maintain comfortable water levels, which is why they perform best when nighttime temperatures stay above 60°F. When temperatures drop below this range, especially overnight, it becomes much harder (and less effective) for heaters to keep the pool warm, even if they are running continuously. For this reason, heating is generally limited to in-season months to ensure guests get the best possible experience.

Reviewer Comments:
It was an absolutely beautiful home. There was plenty of space for everyone and the 2 kitchens really came in handy. With the exception of electrical problems that prevented the pool being heated and no outside lights on the first level, everything was amazing. Adequate supplies were provided and more than adequate kitchen supplies. We will DEFINITELY revisit this property.
Check-in was a breeze. The host was quick getting back with us when needed. Plenty of space up stairs in the kitchen area. Somehow we always end up in the kitchen around the large island. The downstairs has a nice kitchen as well(our grown kids kinda took that over) lol plenty of games and our own pool with a walkout to the beach. Perfect vacation.

The house was perfect for our two families. Both levels had two kitchens and bedrooms so we were able to cook separate meals and get together for games and drinks. Right on the beach with a pool. We had wonderful time. Management responded immediately to our few concerns.

Perfect home for our large group of 15 family members. The house has all the needed amenities and was very clean. The boardwalk over the dunes gives access to a large beach area at low tide. The early morning view from the living room gave way to a beautiful sunrise over the ocean. High recommend and would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sand By Me at Carolina Beach. We had 17 family members and had plenty of room. The house was clean and well kept. Both kitchens were well stocked with anything that we needed. Our family could not come the entire week. I was very appreciative that we could rent the house for part of the week. It is a great location. I look forward to staying there again.

Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed at other rentals and Sand By Me far exceeded them all. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own room and the family rooms were perfect for gathering. There were fourteen of us. We were amazed at how well provisioned the house is, even beach towels and dog bowls were provided. Only one thing stood out. The part of the walk to the beach as you neared the beach needs hand rails as the elderly in our group had a bit of trouble navigating there. All in all it was a wonderful experience and our hosts were outstanding. Thank you

Our family had an incredible stay at this beautiful vacation home in Carolina Beach! The house was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed—perfect for our large family. It provided the ideal balance of privacy and togetherness, with enough room for quiet moments and plenty of space for family gatherings.We especially loved the large dining table, which was perfect for family meals, and the spacious kitchen with an island that became our favorite spot for late-night snacks and conversations. The Nespresso machines were a delightful bonus—there was nothing better than sipping a delicious espresso while watching the sunrise from the balcony.One of the highlights of our stay was the lower level that opened directly to the pool area. It became a central hub for laughter, relaxation, and fun pool games with the whole family. And the private, easy walk to the beach was absolutely amazing. Being able to go back and forth between the beach and the house with ease made the trip comfortable for everyone, from kids to grandparents.This home had everything we needed for a relaxing, memorable, and joy-filled vacation. We can’t wait to go back!
