Oceanfront 4BR 2 Story Duplex with Private Beach Access

Welcome to EASY LIVING, our cozy beach house ideally located between the historic beach side Boardwalk and the Carolina Beach North End Fishing Pier where the beaches are less crowded. This house/cottage is a duplex with the family using Side A and Side B is the rental unit. Our grandfather built this cottage in the late 1940's. It was partially remodeled in 2009 but still maintains that old cottage feel. Walk in to a very bright and eclectically decorated beachfront property. This duplex offers well stocked kitchen and dining areas including cookware, dishes and silverware, living room and half bath downstairs. Upstairs you will find four bedrooms and one, on the smaller size, full bath with shower. Each room has large windows, ceiling fans, a small closet and a chest of drawers or dresser. The two larger bedrooms have queen beds while the two smaller rooms have full beds. The master bedroom has upper porch access. Outside enjoy a great view of the beach while you rock to your hearts content on the upstairs porch with 2 rockers, or take the stairs down to the beach boardwalk and enjoy the beach itself. Also available for your use on the downstairs porch are charcoal grill and rocker seating. Come in from a fun day on the beach, rinse off and take a seat on the bench halfway down the private boardwalk beach access. Or come straight to rinse off in the outside shower available on the porch. The large porch on the street side is ideal for watching the sun go down and people watching when winding down after a day on the beach. There is no smoking allowed inside the duplex and no pets are allowed. Renters provide their own paper products (paper towels, toilet paper, etc.).
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Great location!

Loved our stay at the cottage. The beach access was amazing as was the view. Everything needed for a week at the beach was provided and Paula was very helpful and prompt with questions. The bedrooms and bathrooms are a bit small, but did not impact our stay in any way as we were outside a majority of the time. Would definitely recommend the cottage♥️

Cozy, comfortable oceanfront house

Our week stay at Easy Living was amazing. The house was perfectly big enough for our crew of 6 adults and 3 small kids. We enjoyed the oceanside patios quite frequently and loved the ease of taking things down to the beach via the private beach access. The kitchen was fully stocked with plates, pots, pans and utensils. The location of the beach house was very close and convenient to shopping and restaurants.

Lovely

Very clean. Beautiful stretch of beach. House was quiet. I’d high recommend this property. For someone who does a decent amount of cooking while on vacation the kitchen was very small but everything you need is there! Loved walking to the coffee shop (which also has lots of basics if you forget something). Really everything is walkable if you don’t mind walking…tiki bar to the left, coffee shop and main pier and restaurants to the right. Enjoy!

We love the ease of beach access, the outdoor shower is a hit with the guys and little ones, showering after the beach. The house was clean and neat and has everything we need for our family week at the beach. Paula is a super host! Communication with her is always prompt, attentive and direct. We’ve already booked for 2022!

Perfect Vacation

I have stayed at this rental several times over the past 8 years. I chose it because it was perfect for my family of 5. We each had our own bedroom, there is private access to the beach and there are less people on the beach than nearer public entrances. I also love the shower outside to get rid of sand. The brand new washer and dryer are in the perfect location. Plus there are two decks to enjoy the outside. I loved exiting the master bedroom to the upper deck to see the sunrise. My family has fond memories of this vacation home that we will always cherish.

Cozy place right on the beach

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, right on the beach, and had everything we needed for our family of 5. The ocean water was great; crystal clear water some days, mostly green flags and never over-crowded. It's a 1/2 mile walk to the pier; which had a small restaurant/bar that was decent. It's a mile walk to the boardwalk; which had plenty of spots to shop, eat, drink, play ($5 per hour to park if you don't want to walk). Only negatives, and these were minor things that didn't hamper our stay at all, would be the electric outlets are minimal and in odd locations, most of the TV channels were unavailable, the walls are thin and you can hear the TV/people next door, and the bathrooms are pretty tiny. Again, those were minor things. We still had a great time and would stay here again. We're gunna miss Britts Donuts, the best burgers from Island Burgers & Bites, the shrimp po'boy from The Sea Witch, and the ice cream from Celtic Creamery. We hope to come back again soon. Thanks!

Charming & Relaxing Beach Cottage

We LOVED our week at Easy Living! The cottage is comfortable, homey, nostalgic, & quaint - plus, it was very clean. It really promotes relaxation with the private covered porches and rocking chairs on the front and back. There is lots of space to spread out throughout the home. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need - except a dishwasher - bring paper plates! There is plenty of room on the beach right down the boardwalk. We were 100% happy with our stay here - the owners were attentive to any questions we had & we definitely will be coming back again. Hopefully, soon! Thank you so much! The Robinette Family

Really enjoyed the location and the house, it reminds me of my mom's beach house. We did Thanksgiving which was a stretch but the kitchen was stocked well and was able to handle the job. The only drawback was the downstairs half bath. The fan motor was very loud and small, but it was not the end of the world! Loved our stay

Family Bonding Time in the Carolinas

After looking for the “best “ accommodations for my Family inclusive of 2 teenaged sons; I settled on Ms Paula’s lovely home. From the quaint decor, to the wonderful Oceanic views from both decks; we felt right at home. The home was a “blast from the past “ and reminded me of my own landmark family homes in the country albeit beachside. Well equipped property , amazing decks, views, great outdoor shower, clean , Comfortable beds, great laundry , rocking chairs , barbecue and central location to dining//convenient stores. The owner was extremely responsive and her hospitality was top notch. She and her family made us feel right at home. 5 star stay for us for sure. B. Clark McClendon, Ph.D and family thank you again for an amazing family memory at Carolina Beach ❤️🙏🏽
