Welcome to your perfect Carolina Beach getaway — a beautifully renovated coastal cottage located directly across the street from the ocean and one of the most iconic beachfront restaurants in town.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll understand why guests fall in love with this location. The highlight of the home is the large wraparound screened porch where you can enjoy the ocean breeze, sip your morning coffee, and watch the vibrant beach life just across the street.

It’s the perfect place for relaxing after a day in the sun, people watching, or enjoying evening drinks while listening to live music drifting from the nearby tiki bar.

INSIDE THE HOME
The home has been fully renovated and thoughtfully designed with a bright open floor plan that feels welcoming, airy, and comfortable.

The living area flows easily into the dining space and kitchen, creating a relaxed environment for gathering with friends and family after a day at the beach.

Natural light fills the space, and the charming coastal décor gives the home a warm beach-cottage feel that guests instantly love.

The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals, whether you’re cooking fresh seafood from the local market or enjoying a quick breakfast before heading out for the day.

THE LOCATION
One of the best parts of staying here is how easy it is to explore everything Carolina Beach offers without needing to drive.

The beach is directly across the street, making it easy to go from your front door to the sand in under a minute.

Right nearby is the popular
Ocean Grill & Tiki Bar, a favorite local spot known for oceanfront dining, live music, and sunset cocktails.

You can also walk to restaurants, bars, and entertainment, making this an ideal spot for couples, families, and friend groups.

Just a short walk away is the lively
Carolina Beach Boardwalk, where you’ll find restaurants, shops, ice cream, arcades, and seasonal events. During the summer months the boardwalk comes alive with live music, festivals, and fireworks.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
The home features two spacious bedrooms designed to provide a restful retreat after long beach days.

Each bedroom is comfortably furnished with quality bedding and coastal touches that reflect the relaxed charm of Carolina Beach.

Two large renovated bathrooms provide plenty of space for guests to get ready for the day or unwind after time in the sun.

• Beach vacations
• Couples getaways
• Girls’ weekends
• Family trips
• Boardwalk events and concerts
• Relaxing coastal escapes

Spend your days walking the shoreline, swimming in the ocean, exploring the boardwalk, or simply relaxing on the porch with a drink in hand while the ocean breeze drifts through.

Whether you’re visiting for a weekend getaway or a longer beach vacation, this charming coastal cottage offers the perfect mix of comfort, location, and classic Carolina Beach charm.

Once you settle into the porch and start enjoying the ocean air, you may never want to leave.

    The house is cute and located within walking distance of the beach, restaurant and an ice cream shop. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed. The porch was awesome for relaxing. A good place to curl up with a book. We accidentally locked ourselves out and had to contact the host. She was very friendly and responsive. A lovely place to stay.

    This was such a great place to stay for our child’s first beach trip. The house was perfect with great access to the beach and spacious screened porch. We appreciated having the wagon to carry our belongings to the beach. The homeowners were very supportive and communicative! We hope to return again!

    One of few places on the island where you have AMPLE parking and can park your boat or RV. The outdoor shower is a great asset for summer sands. Great for a fun stay with 8 people. House is well stocked and the hosts are very responsive. I highly recommend!

    Such a cute little cottage across the street from our favorite spot (Tiki bar) in CB and many other things. Beach access close on either side of the property. Place was clean, well appointed, and reall had everything we needed. We loved hanging out on the screened porch at night listening to the waves and enjoying the ocean breezes.Hope we can visit again and again!

    Comfortable for a family of four or five, more if you must. Everything worked fine, but no local channels to watch weather that we could find and no carafe for the bigger coffee pot. Some dishes were put away dirty, but not a big deal. I would stay here again.
