Vistas, Vistas, Vistas! This pretty 6-bedroom home is located just across the street from the ocean with painless beach access just steps away (a 60-second walk or 500 paces). This gorgeous reverse floor plan captures the beauty of the marsh and partial ocean vistas by elevating the open concept kitchen/dining/living areas to the upper level. A two-sided wrap-around covered deck provides an charming space to savor the vistas while appreciating your morning coffee or an evening beverage. Sunset shows take place daily (weather permitting) from the 3rd-floor terrace as the sun gently disappears over the west-facing marsh. Words can't describe the impressive colors that fill the upper level through its many windows as the sunset show takes place each evening. Great location only 1/2 mile west of the pier makes walking/cycling for ice cream or snacks a real treat.

The kitchen is well supplied with all the amenities needed for cooking huge family dinners. The dining table can seat up to 10 people plus an additional 3 seats at the kitchen island close by. There is also a great outdoor dining table, ideal for enjoying the ocean vistas on a striking day. There are many magnificant seating options along the 2 story-covered decks to take in the spectacular vistas, especially the daily sunset show (weather permitting).

Don't worry about overpacking as many beach amenities are supplied including Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs (4), a beach umbrella, cooler, kids' beach toys, beach carts, and 2 beach cruiser bicycles.

Featuring two master bedrooms (each with its own bathroom), this home is ideal for two families looking to book together to appreciate a amazing vacation at the beach. In addition, there is a modest bedroom with a queen bed as well as a bunk room complete with 2 bespoke constructed-in bunk beds, the ideal space for the kids to call their own. The 5th bedroom is located on the top level and is a sunroom that has been redesigned as an additional sleeping area, ideal for a single looking for their own space and very well may have the best vistas in the entire home. We also just finished a ground-level room into a 6th bedroom complete with a Queen Bed, 1/2 bath, mini-refrigerator, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. (Please note, this room's entrance is in the carport area and outside the entrance of the main home).


Freshly purchased in March of 2022, we finished a full remodel and bespoke interior design plan that will be sure to impress. The remodel includes all new furnishings throughout the home including new beds, beds, and linens in every sleeping space. Our goal was to create a bespoke unique welcoming space for bigger groups to enjoy, while carving out unique spaces and sitting areas for smaller conversations and alone time.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the most suitable rental home within your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Carolina Beach attractions.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.

• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
