About this property

Best Ocean & Boardwalk Views of Carolina Beach! ~ Kalypso's Nest

  • Kalypso’s Nest is a place like no other!
    This beautifully styled oceanfront condo sits directly above the vibrant Carolina Beach Boardwalk, offering a rare blend of comfort, convenience, and calm.

    Whether you’re planning a romantic coastal escape, a work-from-the-beach week, or a spontaneous getaway, Kalypso’s Nest is built for pause, peace, and play — just steps from white sand and waves.

    WHO IS KALYPSO?
    In ancient Greek mythology, Kalypso is the daughter of the Titan, Atlas. Known as a radiantly beautiful sea nymph, she prevents Odysseus - the hero of the Trojan War - from returning home. Kalypso would rescue the shipwrecked Odysseus and nurse him to health on her island paradise.

    Kalypso’s Nest carries that same spirit: a refuge by the sea, a place to rest and refresh.

    This modern, coastal-chic condo is styled in calming tones of grey and sand, with macramé accents and a layout that lets light, sea air, and serenity flow.

    You’ll enjoy:
    • Queen bed in the private bedroom
    • Queen Crate & Barrel sleeper sofa in the living room
    • Smart TVs in both spaces for streaming your favorites
    • High-speed WiFi for remote work or digital detox
    • A fully stocked kitchen with ocean views and dining for 6
    • Washer/dryer, dishwasher, and central A/C for added comfort

    ADDED 06/25: New living room shades for filtered daylight by day and full privacy at night — a highly requested amenity for remote workers and couples.

    And that balcony? It's your front-row seat to the Carolina Beach experience! This is where live music, festivals, and summertime fireworks light up your evenings, and the sun and energy all rise to meet the tide.


    **Temporary building notice on 06/22/26: The building elevator may be out of service for integral machine repairs through August 10, 2026. Guests may need to use the stairs during this period.**


    Carolina Beach is that rare blend of beautiful, relaxing, and FUN!

    The internationally celebrated travel periodical CONDE NAST Traveler said of Carolina Beach:

    "Carolina Beach checks all the right boxes: wide expanses of white sand abutting gentle seagrassed dunes, a water line that's tame enough for body-surfing youngsters, and—best of all—a boardwalk complete with ice cream shops, hot dog vendors, and a smattering of carnival rides.

    The best view comes from atop the Ferris wheel, naturally, but save some time to hit the park for an easy hike through its sandy pine-bound trails."
    -Conde Nast Traveler, June 2022

Nice place with a perfect location

This was a very nice place for a weekend getaway. We could see the ocean from the windows and the location is great as it’s in the heart of the boardwalk so there’s lots to do within walking distance. The owners were very nice and responsive as well!

Kalypso's Nest was a sweet place to stay in the heart of Carolina Beach. Our favorite coffee shop is right next door and the boardwalk and beach are right across the street. The condo was very clean and bright with the wall of windows facing the ocean. Only thing that would have been helpfulwas another mirror so that two people could get ready at the same time. We would definitely stay again!!

Perfect apartment for a getaway!

The apartment was great! It looked even better than advertised. Right down town, easy access to the beach and even though it was on the boardwalk it wasn't too noisy. We had the best seats in the house for the End of summer fireworks! We would definitely stay again.

Very convenient location and parking lot. The unit had nice furnishings with a well equipped kitchen. The bathroom is extremely small for more than 2 adults. The biggest issue was the lack of warning that the pull out couch was basically front row seats to a very loud, very bright carnival that ran until midnight every night. Additionally the shades over the large windows were almost sheer and insufficient to block light or noise so 5:30am wake up call. I thankfully travel with an eye mask and ear plugs but be warned.

Kalypso Nest review

Good location, right in the center of the boardwalk, walking distance to most places. You could watch the fireworks from your room on Thursday night. Overall cleanliness was good, except the floors made our feet black. Our 8 month old had his hands and knees covered every time he crawled on the floor. Also, there are no curtains or blinds in the main living area. In the mornings the sun was shining right into the room to where you couldn’t even see. The windows were also facing the carnival rides so the lights from them were flashing into the room like a strobe light as soon as it got dark.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the Kalypso's Nest. The unit was extremely clean, comfortable, well stocked with all your needs, and the view was amazing. It is very quiet and well insulated even though you are so close to all the action. The owners were very responsive and welcoming. Everything was easy and delightful. We look forward to a future stay. Highly recommend.

Great location. Easy check-in. One of our family members uses a wheelchair and the elevator was plenty big enough for her and another person (unlike many of the elevators at the beach). We would stay again.

NOT HAPPY

The owner canceled on us as we were driving to the destination. Just cancelled and didn’t call or anything. VRBO doesn’t allow for same day reservations, so we were forced to find a hotel last minute. We needed up paying so much more, as everything was all booked up outside of the expensive hotels. We booked this weeks in advance! I was so upset!
