Fabulous views - right across the street from the beach!



This gorgeous home is located right across the street from the beach, has ocean views, and a beach access just steps away. There are 6 bedrooms and 4 baths. There are 32-inch Roku TVs in all bedrooms other than the master (which has a 40-inch TV and a cable box. Stream all the cable channels, or your own Hulu or Netflix - and control the TV with your phone if you like! The main 55 inch TV is also Roku-enabled.

The gourmet kitchen has granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and is ready to accommodate large families or groups. There is a bar height counter that seats 4, and the counter-height dining table seats 8. It's also a great place to gather to play board games. There are 2 sofas. The home has hardwood floors in all the common areas.

The living area has a 55-inch wifi-enabled flat screen TV, the master a 40-inch TV, and all the other bedrooms have 32 inch Roku TVs as well. Cable TV and high speed wireless internet service are also provided for your enjoyment. Upstairs there is a laundry area with a full-size washer and dryer.

The entry first floor has two bedrooms - one in the middle of the home with a full over full bunk bed, and the other with a queen bed. There's a jack and jill (shared) bathroom on the entry floor with dual vanities and a toilet/shower area that has a door to close it off from the vanity area. This floor is recently repainted with new LVP flooring.

The main second floor has the greatroom with living room, dining, and the gourmet kitchen. This level also has a bedroom with a queen bed. There is also a full bath on this level with separate doors the the bedroom and common area.

The master bedroom has a king bed, a private deck, and a fabulous master bathroom with dual vanities, a glass enclosed shower, and a whirlpool tub. You can sit in the bed in the master and look out at great ocean views!

For ocean viewing, there are two nicely furnished covered decks. One is on the main 2nd floor and the other is just off the master bedroom. Both are great for watching the ocean, watching people, reading, enjoying time with family and friends.

To make your stay more enjoyable, the house is secured with a keypad lock. No worrying about who has the key! There's also a beach cart provided to make for an even easier walk over to the beach and back. And of course there's an outdoor shower for when you get home.

This unit is half of a duplex. Each side is 6br 4ba. If you're interested in renting both sides let me know.

Carolina Beach is an incredible vacation spot, with something for everyone in the family. There's a boardwalk with a permanent amusement park for the kids during the summer. The town hosts many movie nights at the lake, and they also have paddle boats there available for rent. The north end of the island allows 4 wheel drive vehicles, and there's a pier there as well. Kure beach also has a pier, which is about a mile away and makes for a nice stroll down the beach.

At the far south end of the island is the Fort Fisher state park with large uncrowded beaches, the aquarium, and the ferry to Southport.

This beautiful home is centrally located. The Tiki bar and Granny's Country Kitchen are short walks. The town area of Carolina Beach is just over a mile to the north, and Kure Beach is about a mile to the south.

Linens are included. One dog of up to 15 pounds considered with a pet fee.

Plenty of space for 8 adults and 6 children, great location close to beach access. Well stocked kitchen. A few housekeeping items, the dishwasher water backed up into the sink, used coffee grounds were in the coffee pot when we arrived, the towel bar in middle level bathroom is loose. Suggestions about restaurants were good. Our family had a good time. Thank you.

Great for a few days away!

My friends and I came down to get away for a few days and this was the perfect place for it! Everyone had their own room and it was spaced out nicely. Pretty nice location for walking over to the beach. Downtown is not too far either. All in all we had a good time and the clearly laid out check-in /out process made things really easy when it came time for us to leave!

Great property for a large group

My family loved staying in this house for the week. We would wake up early and walk to the beach to set up our spot for our LARGE family. We used the grill to cook out and had a great time playing game nights on the balcony. This home has all of the amenities needed for you to feel super comfortable. I highly recommend staying here if you have a large group. The outside shower is a must-have after a long day at the beach!

Great trip

Easy access to beach, was worried about noise as house was duplex and right on main street, but very quiet. Never heard large family checked in to other side, and traffic noise was barely noticable even when outside. All in all- great trip!!

Would stay again!

Took a chance after talking to the owner and him assuring me they'd done a deep clean and changed the policy to include linens. The place was clean on arrival, and spacious enough for our group. Looks like they upgraded some of the kitchen accessories, and created a supply closet with extra tp and whatnot. Overall a nice place with nice outdoor furniture and a good location right across from the beach. Would stay again!

Perfect

This was a wonderful vacation for our large family! 4kids & 3 adults this was enough space for everyone. Walking in and being able to access everything so easily from the toiletries to the remote controls was very comforting instantly I could tell that the house was clean and well organized. The view of beach in the morning while drinking a cup of coffee was the best part for me. I truly enjoyed myself.

Excellent Location

The house is very well laid out. In particular, the kitchen is a treat! In spite of having a large group, we were not on top of each other and the location was excellent. We had beautiful views from the second floor balcony (which may change once the empty lot across the street is developed) and the wood was in good condition so no one ended up with splinters! We did have to call about a chirpy fire alarm, but the owner was very responsive and had it taken care of promptly. Cons: Some of the furniture was showing its age when we visited and it could have been cleaner. There were some minor maintenance problems, but those we hope will be fixed shortly.

Good CB spot

We were a group of 5 couples visiting during July. Overall, the stay was enjoyable. The common area was very conducive to a large group for both dining and lounging. The bedroom/bathroom ratio also worked well for our group size although I will say that the bunk beds weren't as comfortable as other beds if an adult is planning to sleep there. The unit was a bit worn for it being its first year of renting on VRBO. There were lots of stains in the carpets, worn spots on furniture and the bedspreads all felt a bit grimy. The owner is VERY nice and approachable. I contacted him for a minor issue the first day we arrived and he had it resolved immediately. He was also very welcoming of the feedback I provided him (AWESOME landlord). There are a few things that could be done to make this place a "10." Like other reviewers, I would focus on improving the quality of sleep through better pillows and provide lighter washable blankets for each bed so the comforters don't get worn as quickly. A fan for the patio would also be nice. The home is on a main road- it's an easy walk to the beach, but the road noise is more noticeable than the sound of the waves. It didn't bother our group as it was still a nice view. It is a duplex but did not feel like one- we didn't hear them through the walls or on the porch. The price is right, and I feel like we got what we expected for a CB rental.

My stay was ok but for the price I will not book it again. There was mold on the shower certain in the bathroom on the 2nd floor. There was mold on the outside grill to the point that it couldn’t be used. For the price I payed those things should not have been there.

Family Beach Christmas

This house is in need a DEEP clean. I don't think the cleaning fee is being used for its intended purpose. I will say this house is perfect for a large group. Our family met here (Carolina Beach) for Christmas 2022. It has plenty of space for everyone to spread out. It has a great view of the ocean. We had perfect weather!

Dirty house

The house was dirty when we moved in. We drove in late at 11 PM and it was too late to call the landlord about it. The toilet bowls had streaks. There was sand on the floor in some places. TP holder was broken in one bathroom. There is a cleaning charge included in the price of rental and it felt that the house hadn't been cleaned after the last rental. Or even before that. We picked a book under the coffee table for my daughter to read and it had a THICK layer of dust on it. The table under the TV was same. I got the feeling the landlord was merely pocketing the cleaning fee. Just not nice. I've been in budget motels that have been cleaned to higher standards! One new unexpected item was linens were a separate charge and the beds were not made. This is the first I've seen at a vacation rental. When I go for a vacation, I don't want to carry around a load of sheets! We had to make our beds at 11 PM before we could sleep. It felt like a "convenience fee" being levied. It's a nice house and the location is nice and would make for a good beach vacation. But we felt short changed due to lack of attention to cleaning and the landlord skimping on minimum necessities. The blender looked like it belonged to my grandma and the toaster is about the cheapest piece of plastic imaginable. There wasn't enough TP or kitchen rolls. Given the rate of about $800 a day, I feel they should be a bit generous and have some TP rolls and kitchen rolls for convenience of guests. Why would I haul a whole lot of stuff into a vacation home? The cheapest motel room comes with shampoo, soap, paper towels, linens etc. Once again, it's a nice house in a nice location but I felt stiffed due to the cheap treatment and being given a dirty house to check-in. Not happy about that at all.
