Adorable Oceanfront Cottage. Plan your trip to Paradise Island today!

When I walked through the doors of this home for the first time I was taken aback by all the old style charm this home has. You will find knotty pine in the living area. An open space for you and your family to enjoy time around the house or you can escape to rest and relax in one of the four bedrooms. The house comes with two full baths (one has a standup shower you can dance in the other has a tub/shower combo!). The porches are great too. Sit on the ocean side and go back in time to when the hustle and bustle of life was not the extent it is today. You will hear the waves rolling in and just in time you can take a walk on your private deck to the sand. If you fancy lying in the sun, there is plenty of deck and chairs for you to do this too. And like my sister always says..."we never eat inside" so I've put a full dining set on the front porch for you to enjoy. The back porch facing the road is where you will get your sunsets and be ready for them. They are amazing. You will enjoy an old time boardwalk, great sand, huge beach and within walking distance to nightlife, games, and everything that there is to enjoy about CB. Especially Britt's Doughnuts! Wow..

The bedrooms consist of:
#1. King Size Bed
#2. Two Full Size Bunk Beds
#3. Two Queen Size Beds
#4. Twin Bed
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a phone.

The family enjoyed our stay. This is our 2nd time staying on the cottage house. It is convenient if you have little children as the beach is right in front of the house. There is a new swing on the back and the kids loved it. It is also now fenced in so it made the place more safe. We would definitely come back again.

We loved this beach house, especially the porches. The back porch (ocean side) was our gathering place every day. We would move to the front porch to watch the sun set just about every day. It was a great vacation!

Everything we could need (great appliances) and really nice back porch with private walkway to the dunes and ocean front. Walking distance to the canal and restaurants etc…really enjoyed our stay! Watched some beautiful sunrises and also enjoyed the front porch too. Favorite time of year at the beach lots of sun without the humidity. Highly recommend the drive to Michaels Seafood though, so good and “Island Burgers” bacon cheeseburgers are 5 Stars!!

Great vacation home

The house was fully stocked and close to beach. The only two negatives were Deck was quite old and we were careful to wear shoes so not to get splinters. The last thing was that the motel visitors next door were up and yelling and playing load music until 1-2am many nights.

Perfect Vacation

We had an absolute blessing of a time. Location was phenomenal. We were able to walk right on to the beach and several restaurants and bars were also within walking distance as well as a convenient store. Overall, the property description was accurate, however, I will say if you drive a tall truck (as a couple of us did) it will not fit in the parking garage. Plenty of porch and deck room for the pups to have range which also included dog gates/doors that were extremely helpful. The outdoor rinse and shower areas came in handy. This property accommodated all that we needed and made this vacation extra special for my family!

Carolina Beach First Timers

The cottage was adorable! Our family loved waking up each morning being able to go right on the beach. It was nice to come and go through out the day and not have to completely pack up. The house had everything we needed. The only disappointment I have is, a grill is listed for use and it was available, but it didn’t work. The burners were old and fell apart when lit, which caused the grill to catch fire when attempting to cook on it. Also, the grease trap was left full and fell from the grill creating a huge mess. We had planned several meals around the use of a grill so that had to be improvised. But other than those few minor mishaps, our stay was wonderful.

Absolutely Perfect in Every Way

This listing is 100% accurate. Everything mentioned is exactly how it is. This is a classic beach house. Hardwood floors and knotty pine in the living area. It could comfortably sleep 16. Everything is on one level which is beach level. The boardwalk to and from the beach enters the living space with no steps to climb. There are steps from street level. The house sits on two very large garage spaces with closing doors. There is an additional parking pad that could probably fit two cars parked end to end. We only had one vehicle that was short enough to pass under the garage doors. Our pickups had to be parked on the sidewalk out front. parking pad.the garage. The wa

A Wonderful Experience!

This cottage is just lovely. The house has tons of space and beds, the location is close enough to the boardwalk to just walk to it, and the private beach access really made it phenomenally easy to get to and from the beach. There's also plenty of restaurants around, and plenty of kitchen utensils in the house for when you might want to cook a meal and save some money, and the living room has plenty of space for a night in. Our group was all young adults, but the house also had plenty of things for families and children, lots of games and fun decor. Rebecca was so helpful and responsive, and checking in and out was easy. Having space to park multiple cars meant there were no difficulties with my geographically separated group traveling, and also meant we didn't have to pay for parking the entire week we were there! I would recommend stopping at the Publix on the way in for paper products and other toiletries, because they were not stocked when we arrived. But otherwise, the house had everything we needed, up to and including beach towels, shovels, frisbees, and even a beach cart. Really just a wonderful accommodation and trip. We were so sad to leave, and it's definitely on our radar for next year!
