1013 Carolina Bch Ave N

The Tides is a low-rise, three-story condominium complex completed in 1985 that offers predominantly two-bedroom residences configured for relaxed coastal living. The buildings exhibit straightforward beach-oriented architecture with covered, oversized front decks facing the ocean and rear balconies overlooking the canal or pool. Interiors commonly include practical coastal features such as ceiling fans, pantries, wet bars, walk-in showers and sliding glass doors that maximize cross-breezes and natural light; many units are offered furnished and show varied update levels from original finishes to renovated kitchens and baths. Shared spaces center on an onsite saltwater swimming pool set among palm trees with a picnic area and nearby outdoor showers; functional hurricane-rated shutters and replacement slider doors appear in several listings. Parking is surface-level with assigned and overflow spaces plus individual storage rooms for some units. The complex’s location places it one short block from public beach access and within walking distance of the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, restaurants and local amenities, supporting year-round residency, seasonal use, or short-term rental operation under HOA rules. Pet and service policies vary by unit and should be confirmed with management.
