Carolina Beach began as a resort in 1887, with a pavilion, a hotel and boardwalks, and it was incorporated in 1925. Hurricane Hazel struck on October 15, 1954, and the beach and boardwalk were rebuilt afterward. Today it remains a beach town first, with a mix of year round residents and visitors, and homes that see plenty of sand.

A resort town with year round neighbors

About 37 percent of housing units are held for seasonal, recreational or occasional use. Single family detached homes make up about 42 percent of units, and about 12 percent are in buildings with 20 or more units. The median resident age is 53.2.

Lake Park, which surrounds an 11 acre freshwater lake about two short blocks from the ocean, gives the town a quieter center with a walking path around the water. Between the lake, the beach and the streets near Cape Fear Boulevard, owners have a wide range of needs, from a small condo that rents by the week to a house lived in all year.

Town wells and what they leave

The Town of Carolina Beach supplies its own water from 13 wells in the Castle Hayne and Pee Dee aquifers, treats water from 2 wells for iron and chlorinates all of it. That makes it different from Wilmington's main system. Ask the town for current water quality numbers, and look at your own fixtures. Orange or brown tints may point to iron, and white film points to minerals or soap.

A first One-Time Deep Clean or Initial Deep Clean treats shower glass and details faucets, and it also gets at the sand in window tracks and floor edges. Stains that have been there for years may only lighten. Between visits, squeegee the glass and wipe faucets dry. For condo owners, ask about elevator and parking rules before a visit.

Trash, storms and the right plan

Carolina Beach contracts with GFL Environmental for trash and recycling, and recycling is collected weekly along with trash as part of the monthly utility bill. New Hanover County's Hazwagon takes hazardous waste and electronics at no cost. Cleaners do not haul furniture or debris, so plan that separately.

Storms have shaped the town more than once. Florence cut dune escarpments up to 10 feet high here. If water enters a home, call a restoration company first. For regular care, a bi-weekly Recurring House Clean suits many year round homes, and a seasonal owner may prefer a One-Time Deep Clean. A One-Time Moving Clean is for empty homes, and only it includes the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets. See the Wilmington area cost page.

Keep sand outside as much as you can, with a rinse and a stiff mat. About 12 percent of units here are in buildings with 20 or more units, and many smaller homes do well on a monthly plan. A quick vacuum of door tracks and floor edges between visits helps a lot.
