Updated / 2min Walk to Beach / Heated Private Pool / Golf Cart / Table Games
A Rare Stand-Alone Beach House w/ Private Pool, Golf Cart & Prime Location!
Just 2 blocks from the beach, this fully updated home offers a private fenced backyard oasis with outdoor games (foosball, ping pong, darts, and oversized Jenga/Connect4), beach gear, bikes/scooters, & smart TVs in every room.
**No partiers or loud music, no loud obnoxious behavior, no pets, no smoking. Disobeying rules can result in fines and cancellation with no refund. Please review house rules before booking.
Please Note: This is a new listing but we only manage 4.9-5 star listings so expect this to be similar quality.
== PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS ==
**Just 2 Blocks to the Beach** Enjoy easy access to not one, but two nearby beach entrances. The closest is a short 2-minute walk and offers a more peaceful vibe, while the second (about 5 minutes away) is livelier—giving you the best of both worlds.
**Private Heated Cocktail Pool** Cool off after a beach day or skip the sand altogether and unwind in your own private cocktail pool. Safety features include a child gate, pool door alarms, ring buoy, and a first aid kit. (Please note: life jackets are not provided). The heated option allows for pool use March-November, depending on air temperatures. Heater may not perform well when outdoor temperatures drop below 50°F. This is not a hot tub — the heater simply keeps the water comfortable. The water is set to 84°F-88°F depending on the time of year. Pool is closed Dec-Feb.
**Golf Cart Included with Admin Fee** Explore the island the local way—with a lifted 6-seater golf cart! Included with a one-time $140 admin fee covering your entire stay. This cart normally rents for $140 PER DAY on the island so this is a great bargain. The cart also comes with a CB parking permit—saving you both money and hassle. A signed contract/waiver is required. (Unavailable in Jan/Feb or when temps drop below 32°F.)
**Stand-Alone Home = Privacy** Unlike many Carolina Beach rentals, this is a fully private, detached home. No shared walls, ceilings, or floors—just your space, your people, and peace of mind.
**Incredible Outdoor Space** With all living areas on the second floor, the ground level is completely reserved for outdoor hang out space with a fully fenced-in yard with tropical landscaping, plenty of lounge seating, and spaces to gather, dine, or relax outdoors.
**Games Galore!** Stay entertained with Ping Pong, Foosball, Cornhole, Oversized Jenga, Darts, and Oversized Connect 4—all available on-site.
**Modern Build + Fresh Décor** Built in 2018, this home features quartz countertops, LVP flooring, hurricane shutters, stainless steel appliances, and stylish tiled bathrooms. In August 2025, it was refreshed with all-new furniture and updated decor.
**Ideal Location** Nestled just south of downtown Carolina Beach, you’re a short walk from the Ocean Grill & Tiki Bar, the Carolina Beach Greenway, and six local spots for food and drinks—including pizza, ice cream, a hidden gem breakfast spot, and two of the island’s most popular hangouts. Close enough to downtown for convenience, yet far enough to avoid the crowds.
**Beach Gear Included** We’ve got your beach day covered! Provided: beach chairs, towels, a canopy tent, beach cart, bodyboards, paddleball, bocce ball, volleyball, football, soccer ball, frisbee, kids’ surf toy, and sand toys (buckets, shovels, sifters).
**Fully Stocked Kitchen** You’ll find cookware, spices, a blender, Brita pitcher, dish soap, trash bags, and a Keurig with refillable pods. We also provide shampoo, body wash, hand soap, laundry detergent, a child booster seat, and a starter supply of paper towels and toilet paper. (Please bring your own coffee—either K-cups or grounds.)
**Tech & Extras** Google Nest Audio for music, weather, and more | Smart TVs in every room, with Spectrum Select Signature (150+ channels) and Entertainment View (70 channels) | 1 Gbps high-speed internet | White noise machines in each bedroom | Kitchen charging station + wireless phone chargers in 3 bedrooms | Books, puzzles, board games, and more
**Linens Included + No Hidden Fees** We keep it simple: one cleaning fee covers it all. Linens, bath/kitchen towels, and bath mats are included—no surprise charges for sheets or extras.
**Sleeping Arrangements** The property is setup for 6 adults or 8 total people (including kids) with a total of 6 beds. We have a King Bed in the main bedroom. The other bedrooms have a Queen Bed w/ single trundle, Full Bed, and Single over Single bunk (best for kids/teens).
