About this property

Best views! Sound side home on water with boat docks, plus one block to beach!

Why best views? Because this house sits directly on the water, and roughly 30 feet closer than surrounding houses. Result? Instead of looking at the sides of other houses, or other people sitting on decks, you have a 180 degree water view! Also because the decks and picture windows face west, providing beautiful sunset views every evening.
Why best location? Because of all the above about the view, plus this house has the best of both worlds--the quiet and beauty of the sound, and the beach is a block away.
The views can be enjoyed from the deck or from inside the house in the living room or dining room--that end of the house has big windows that frame the 180 view for you. Watch the seabirds, pelicans, and dolphins go by. We have even seen sea turtles and otters from the docks.
Speaking of docks---they are great for swimming from, just enjoying the gentle rock of the water, or tying up your own boat (you can rent boats, too). (If you want to tie up a boat, arrangements must be made in advance, and there is a small extra charge). Speaking of the docks, we keep our two boats there, and we may be there on the docks and on our boats, but if we are we will be super respectful of your privacy and use of the place.
The house has 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom sports a king size bed, its own television, and a newly renovated master bath with ceramic tile walk in shower. The 2nd bedroom has a queen bed, and the 3rd bedroom bunks with a double on bottom and twin on top. Two baths: master bath and hall bath.
Ideal for 6 or fewer people. Maximum occupancy is 8, with bed space for 7, and the 8th person sleeping on the couch or an inflatable you bring. Please note that though we work hard to make everything nice for you, and we think our beach house is awesome, this is an older home.
Come experience our little piece of paradise!

NEW for 2020: new living room carpet, kitchen stove replaced, washer and dryer replaced, new outdoor bar and stools on waterfront deck.
NEW for 2019: hall bath renovated, many tweaks and improvements (new pots and pans, ceilings redone, etc.)
NEW for 2018: brand new Braun 18 SEER HVAC system, new roof, freshly painted hallway, many other tweaks to keep things nice and comfortable for you.
NEW for 2017: Master bath completely renovated, brand new king mattress set in Master bedroom (Simmons Beautyrest Signature Select), brand new queen mattress set in second bedroom (also Simmons Beautyrest Signature Select), brand new outdoor propane grill.

Absolutely amazing!
A few friends and I spent memorial weekend here and it was a weekend to remember. The location is great, James is 100% a great host and the view is beyond gorgeous. Watching the sunset in the evening and drinking coffee on the deck in the mornings watching the boats go by was my favorite! Thanks so much for the stay & we hope to be back!

A beautiful home in a perfect location
We truly loved this vacation home and hope to come back again. It was perfect for our family and our furbaby. The view could not be beat and the hosts met us at the property to make sure we were able to get in ok. We loved being one block over from the ocean but enjoyed being right on the sound. We didn't take advantage of the kayaks or swimming in the water by the docks but we did love the deck and the pier. The front porch was also quite pleasant even with the heat as there seems to always be a nice breeze blowing. Carolina Beach is our go-to vacation place! One of the really great things is that the home has a real coffee pot!!! This is truly a plus that many vacation homes have eliminated in this day of "keurig"! We would highly recommend this home for anyone wanting a lovely family getaway!

Best Location
We loved the location and the property!!!! The back deck was so pleasant in the mornings. We would watch the boats coming in and going out and a soft breeze was always present. The late afternoon and early dusk was just as pleasurable. We were 1 1/2 blocks from the beach which was an easy walk. We were close to Publix and restaurants. ( Although some were closed the first of the week, few took reservations and there were long waits due to staff shortages)The place was very clean which we appreciated. The kitchen was stocked with needed cooking items and dishes. We grilled fresh fish from a nearby local fish market on the propane grill on the deck. The grill was pretty dirty (the welcome letter asked that everyone clean the grill after use. That had not happened) We used aluminum foil as we were not inclined to take on the task of heavy cleaning. It was easy to check-in and James was very responsive if needed. We loved out time at the house and hope to return again!!!!

Great location and comfortable surroundings
The location cannot be beat. We brought our boat and it was so easy to get in and out. It was perfect for entertaining guests on the big deck and the living room has great water views when the weather is bad. Very light and airy. The bed was comfortable and the bathrooms had been updated. The kitchen needs a little work, the cabinets and drawers are a bit difficult and if you are a cook make sure to bring your own knives/pots/pans because they were in short supply. We had a wonderful stay and didn’t want to leave!
