The Mayor's Penthouse

Oceanfront · Carolina Beach

Finding time for moments that matter

The arrival

“A legacy of hospitality. A lifetime of memories.”

A historic oceanfront penthouse offering refined hospitality, personalized service, and unforgettable coastal experiences — four bedrooms above the Atlantic, held with care rather than staged for a listing.

We honor this property's history, its community, and its guests by creating experiences that feel personal, authentic, and exceptional.

Open living and kitchen level with ocean views through the front windows

The Space

Walk in, and it’s all sea and sky.

The ocean brings you the day’s first light — the Great Room is filled with it before the coffee’s even poured. Step onto the balcony, and there’s nothing but sand between you and the Atlantic.

Sleeping

Four bedrooms, room for nine

The primary suite wakes to the water, with its own private balcony facing the canal — less about the view, more about having somewhere to slip away. Two guest suites sit quieter down the hall, and a flexible fourth room carries a full, a twin, and a daybed — the room that decides itself once everyone arrives.

Location

Carolina Beach, at walking pace

The Mayor's Domain

This penthouse was once owned by Carolina Beach's Mayor, Joel Macon.

“He frequently used his kitchen counter as a satellite office to conduct town business.”

Retreats & small teams

A new perspective. A refresh.

Low-key and upscale, for executives and small teams who want the work to move somewhere else for a few days. A long table with the water in view, four covered parking spaces, private elevator access, and reliable Wi-Fi that never becomes the conversation.

Nine beds, three bathrooms, and a kitchen that does more for a team than a hotel conference floor ever has.

However you gather — a team, a table, a few quiet mornings — it starts here.
