Live the laid-back island lifestyle at this family-friendly home featuring a superb location just steps from the beach! You’re also within walking distance from coffee shops and dining options, plus all the action along the Carolina Beach Boardwalk.

Enjoy three tiers of outdoor living space offering partial ocean views! Spend your mornings sipping coffee on the elevated deck or the ground-level screened porch, your afternoons taking in the views from the top-floor crow’s nest, and your evenings grilling and dining alfresco in your backyard.

This completely renovated house is a delight to come home to after a day spent at the beach, offering an outdoor shower to rinse away any lingering sand and a washer/dryer to take care of the swimsuits and towels. The welcoming interior features a coveted open layout as well as central air conditioning. Thoughtfully upgraded, you’ll love the new flooring, fresh paint, renovated spa-like primary bathroom, brand-new kitchen appliances, modern furniture, and decor. Extra perks include high-speed WiFi and Bose Bluetooth speakers.

Create crowd-pleasing recipes in the well-equipped kitchen, outfitted with a full suite of appliances and center island, then set the 10-seat dining room table for a special vacation meal. Helpful kitchen extras include an air fryer, extra-large seafood steaming pot, professional-grade blender, filtered water, and ice maker. Choose between multiple coffee brewing methods like a traditional pot brewer, Keurig machine, French press, mocha pot, and pour-over brewing equipment. A high chair is provided for those traveling with little ones.

Kick back and watch TV shows in the living room or play video games like the Playstation in the top floor living area after a fun-filled day. There’s also a large gaming area that includes a ping-pong table, darts, corn hole, oversized Jenga, poker set, and board games. The bedrooms feature brand-new hybrid, plush mattresses and bedding, smart TVs, and phone charging clocks. Plus, beach chairs, towels, toys, and a wagon add convenience during your beach vacation.

Beach vacation

Our family beach trip was fun and relaxing. The house had plenty of room and I especially loved the multiple porches. The kitchen was stocked and open and easy to move around in. We really enjoyed the downstairs with the games and the many beach accessories. My grandson learned to use the skim board!

Spring Break 2024

The house was very clean and well equipped. It was perfect for our extended family, ages ranging from 13 to 76. We loved the location to the beach. Big plus having beach chairs, beach towels and a beach wagon. They thought of everything! It was also nice to have towels and linens provided with beds made on arrival. The kids loved using the bikes as well.

Steps from the beach

Nice home, the upstairs was a perfect suite for our college age guys to have a space to hang out and play video games. The beds were comfortable. Nice porch with ocean view. A couple things to note: bring Kerig pods as the drip element of the coffee maker doesn’t work. The Kerig side does. Also, this is suppose to be a pet free home but there was evidence of a pet presence which triggered our allergies.

Excellent Property

This property is a steal! It was recently renovated and furnished in a way that makes me want the owners to design my own home, very upscale but comfortable and livable. The house was spotless and had everything we needed for our family gathering. I'm normally cautious about using dishes from my VRBO because I'm a germaphobe, but everything was clean and obviously we'll cared for. And the management company was immediately responsive, even when we had a question during our late night check in. 10/10, will stay again.

Excellent accommodations

This was by far the nicest cottage we have stayed at. We have been going to the North Carolina coast since my kids were young and now we come with their kids. Previously we stayed at Topsail Island this trip we decided to give Carolina Beach a try. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next beach vacation.

Great location. Roomy house, sweet decor, well-equipped.

Kitchen was well-equipped. Really appreciate the little touches, such as board games in the cabinet, plenty of beach towel, chairs, and boogie boards. Very convenient to beach across the street. Nice balconies of the front and the back. Worked great for our family of 8.

Spring Break at the Beach

Amazing luxury home in an amazing location. Could see the ocean from the porch, just steps to the beach. Home was nicely decorated, super comfortable beds, and plenty of room for our group of 10. My favorite part was sitting in the porch, feeling the ocean breeze and watching people go by. Excellent kitchen for preparing large meals.

Spacious, beautifully furnished and renovated property right across the street from the beach. In addition to the convenient location, no detail was overlooked here.
