1404 Canal Dr

A low-rise coastal condominium complex built in 1983, the property consists of three stories of predominantly two-bedroom units arranged around shared circulation and exterior corridors. Architecturally it reads as modest beach-resort housing with balconies and sliding glass doors facing the water and pool; exteriors emphasize practical storm doors and outdoor showers for rinsing after the beach. Interiors are set up for easy upkeep and rental use: many units offer furnished finishes, solid-surface counters, walk-in closets, cedar storage, wet bars, and first- or master-level bedroom layouts. Common amenities are oriented to shore living and seasonal demand, including a community swimming pool, outdoor shower, assigned parking with some guest spaces, and multiple nearby public beach access points. Building maintenance items noted in listings include a roof replacement in 2018 and staggered HVAC updates, while HOA dues commonly cover utilities such as water and sewer, master insurance, and basic cable/internet. The property’s location on Carolina Beach places it within walking or biking distance of the boardwalk, piers, restaurants, and short walks to the Atlantic, creating straightforward, low-maintenance ownership suited to vacation, rental, or primary residence lifestyles.
