1618 Canal Drive Apt C45

Your own place at Carolina Beach--under $290K, furnished, and just steps from beach access! This top-floor end unit offers something many condos don't: no neighbors above, extra privacy, ocean peeks from your private covered balcony, a community pool, and the flexibility of short-term rentals. Whether you're looking for a weekend beach getaway, a second home you can rent when you're away, or simply an affordable way to own at Carolina Beach, this 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath condo makes beach ownership easy. Step inside and everything is already here--the condo is being offered furnished and features an open living area, updated laminate flooring, tiled bathroom floors, an in-unit stackable washer and dryer, and even a stocked coffee bar. Step outside onto the covered balcony for your morning coffee and catch a glimpse of the ocean while overlooking the pool and tropical landscaping. When you're ready for the beach, leave the car behind--public beach access is at the end of the street, while Freeman Park and the Carolina Beach Pier are nearby, putting some of the island's favorite fishing, beach, and recreation spots practically in your backyard. Yes, this is a third-floor condo, but that also means you're on the top floor with no one living above you, along with the elevated views and added privacy of an end-unit location. Spend your days at the beach, cool off at the community pool, grill dinner downstairs, and enjoy everything Carolina Beach has to offer. When you're not here, short-term rentals are permitted, giving you the flexibility to make your beach home work for you. At under $290K and offered furnished, C45 is an approachable way to finally say, ''We have a place at the beach.''
