About this property

Stunning Custom Built Home Near Boardwalk!

"A Summer Place" was a 1959 classic movie starring Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue, and it was also the inspiration for this custom designed and professionally decorated showplace. This brand new custom-built luxury beach home was completed in 2025, and the stunning three-story property offers the perfect blend of coastal charm and upscale comfort, designed by award-winning builders featured in Coastal Living and Southern Living magazines. With over 2,300 square feet of professionally designed interior space, this home comfortably sleeps 9 guests across four spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms.

You'll enter the home on the lower level where you'll find a small office space for those who just cannot be out of touch. One level up is the main living area along with the kids bedroom that house a Pyramid bunk. Upstairs you can unwind in the 3 additional bedrooms, 2 with Queen beds and 1 with a King and an on suite bathroom.

From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the natural light, soaring ceilings, and open-concept floor plan. Relax by the fireplace on the porch, enjoy ocean breezes under the palms, or cook fresh seafood from nearby Blackburn Brothers Seafood Market, located just 3 miles away. Everything you need for a memorable beach vacation is thoughtfully provided. A Summer Place is ideally located in the heart of Carolina Beach, just steps from the ocean, parks, and lake, with fireworks lighting up the sky every Thursday night during summer. Challenge your friends and family to a few holes of miniature golf on the front yard putting green, or simply enjoy the seating by the fire pit. The whole family will find plenty of things to enjoy when they visit "A Summer Place".

Make sure that you do not miss the spectacular sunrises, famous donuts at Britt's, Thursday night fireworks on the beach and quality time with your family making lifelong memories. The North Carolina Aquarium and the Fort Fisher historical site are great day time activities for everyone to enjoy. Catch a ferry ride over to Southport for the day for some great local dining options or spend the day hiking in the maritime forest of Carolina Beach State Park. Venus fly traps and native pitcher plants can be spotted in the park seasonally and make a truly memorable experience. You'll want to immerse yourself in the myriads of activities offered on Pleasure Island. Book today for a truly memorable family friendly experience!

Beautiful house that was extremely clean and well decorated. It is super close to the beach and restaurants in the area. Our son loved the putting green, that was an extra bonus. The elevator was perfect for the older guests in our group, as well as making arrival and departure a breeze. Would definitely stay again!

This is a beautiful,newly constructed spacious house with plenty of room to be comfortable for our 4 people who were joined by additional family members to celebrate my niece's high school graduation.Just 3 blocks off Carolina Beach in a quiet neighborhood that's perfect for walking or riding a bicycle which can be rented.The elevator worked great for my 89-year-old mother. We liked it too for bringing in heavy bags of groceries. The elevator has a safety lock that does not allow it to be used if the inner sliver sliding door is open. Therefore, you must close the inner door first, then close the outer door when exiting. If you exit the elevator and close the outer door only - it locks and you cannot use it until Bryant real estate sends someone to release the safety mechanism. When entering the elevator, you have to do the reverse - close the outer door, then close the inner silver sliding door. Once during our stay someone closed the outer door without first closing the inner sliding door which locked us out from using the elevator. Bryant was very nice about it and sent someone over to release the safety locking mechanism which has to be done with a specific tool they have. There is a note saying the locking mechanism can be released by using a screwdriver, but we could not get that to work. After we called Bryant the guy who came to release the safety locking mechanism of the elevator told us his tool is the only thing that should be used.

In a word…extraordinary! Everything about our stay was wonderful! This beach home is everything the listing claims and more! It was spotless, beautifully decorated, and so comfortable. Its location is extremely convenient. Just a short, easy walk away and you are on Carolina Beach, enjoying sand between your toes, wide open skies and the ocean breeze!Highly recommend a stay in this most beautiful beach home! I want to take this opportunity to mention and thank the outstanding team at Bryant Real Estate! From my first inquiry about the property to my departure, representatives were always extremely pleasant, helpful and informative. The guest portal this group provides was an excellent source of information about the area... such a unique ‘extra’ and very much appreciated!
