30 Sec. to Beach, Sun, Sand & Waves & a Family & Pet Friendly Fenced Backyard
I want you to make lasting memories and think of this home as your favorite beach vacation spot while at Carolina Sea Paws at Carolina Beach, NC. I try to provide most everything you and your family or guests may need, so you can enjoy taking just 30 steps to the white sandy beach, see the ocean waves, and hear the sounds and smells that only the ocean can provide. When you return from your fun and sun time at the beach, you can enjoy your private backyard & rinsing off in your hot/cold private outdoor shower area and sit and enjoy the warm breeze. After a refresh, have a family BBQ and enjoy the late afternoon. After you eat and talk about your day, listen to the ocean waves with mood lighting while you all roast marshmallows around your wood burning fire-pit sitting area outdoors. (you must furnish the wood) This would be my perfect first day. This 3BR -1BA cottage has a laid back, friendly & family safe atmosphere at my end of the Beach, but you are also close to the action. This unit is a stylish open concept, with tasteful beach décor, a large L-shaped comfy sofa, and 2 nice chairs for extra seating. The Den has a 65" TV with a console fireplace, and all the amenities you will need: i.e. high-speed internet, New HVAC- heat/AC, washer/dryer, linens, soaps, body wash/shampoo/conditioner, well stocked kitchen and dinning area. All four beds (2 queen and 2-full bunks) are so comfortable you may not want to get out of bed, but If you are an early riser, make a pot or pod of coffee and sit on the front porch or backyard deck or go to the beach and watch a beautiful sunrise every morning. You are only 3 blocks from the North End Pier & Grill & 1 mile to the historic Carolina Beach Boardwalk. There you can shop, listen to live bands, dine at a great local restaurant, & eat a famous Britt's Doughnut or Squigley's ice cream for dessert. Go to the beach or walk to the Boardwalk and see fireworks on Thursday nights during the summer, or rent a paddleboard, bicycle, Kayak, or rent the Carolina Sea Paws golf cart to ride around town and park for free. You can even bring a chair and watch an outdoor family movie on the lake at Lake Park every other week. (Unit Golf cart must be reserved and paid for prior to arrival. Email owner- to rent Golf Cart, see prices in my pictures) No other golf cart can fit in the parking area or have access to electricity for charging. Rain or shine, you will have plenty to see or do or just relax while at Carolina Sea Paws. FYI… Dogs are welcome 45 lbs or smaller and if they are completely house broken and friendly. However, there is a pet free of $65 for one dog or $85 pet fee for two dogs. They will enjoy the fenced backyard and walking on the beach too!
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage in Carolina Beach! It was perfect for our family—especially with the ground floor entrance that made it easy for our mother, who uses a walker. The backyard was a true highlight, both for our Yorkie who had space to explore, and for us to relax and unwind. We ended up spending more time in the lovely yard than even on the beach—it was perfect for sunset cocktails and quiet afternoons with a book.Kathy was the perfect host—warm, welcoming, and very responsive both before our arrival and throughout our stay. We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a comfortable, relaxing spot at Carolina Beach.

Perfect location. Amusement park about a mile away. Kure Pier approx 4 miles. Ocean across the street. Lovely condo with AMAZING fenced in back yard. I love the freedom of letting my autistic 4 year old run in freedom with the high fence around the entire back yard. Kathy is an amazing host. She makes sure she can answer questions and help in any way. We will be going back.

Wondered if the unit would be large enough to accommodate 2 families with children and GrandPa - found it to be perfectly fine in every way ! The sleeping quarters great - kitchen area and eating areas great - gathering areas inside and out great! Everything was cleaned well and supplied well. Thank you for the beach chairs available! We will definitely consider staying here again.

One reason we picked this property was the fenced backyard for our dogs. We didn't realize how nice it would be. The large yard was surrounded by a well secured privacy fence; no chance of any dog getting out. There was outdoor setting on a raised deck with a gas fire pit. The outdoor shower with hot water was a nice bonus. This property was ideally located just across the street from the beach access, so you could easily come and go to as you wished. Beach chairs and other beach items were available. The place was spotless and very comfortable for our group of 6. Kathy, the owner, made the atmosphere very homey. Everything we needed for cooking various meals, including a few dinners, were available in the kitchen. All the appliances worked well. We would definitely consider renting this property again should we return to Carolina Beach. I highly recommend it.

Needed a reasonable place for a quick weekend trip and it hit the mark. Could use some upgrading in the bathroom.
