The views and location are perfect.
Melody C. | Mar 2025
Charm of the Canal is a solid location to stay at Carolina Beach. It’s right across the street from the beach itself, and also very close to multiple restaurants and other stores. The Canal was clean and plenty of space and great views. Highly recommend.

We relaxed watching the waves from the living room and the balcony. Great location to the public access. Clean and comfortable home.
