Cathy is a great hos & very helpful. The location of this house is exceptional & the privacy fence is perfect for dogs. The house is an older beach house, but it was very clean and the main bedroom was plenty of space for the pack & play for the baby!

Location and charm! If you are looking for a classic beach cottage with all the quirks this is it! Across the street from two public beach access points (Texas and Alabama) with Atlantic Towers directly across the street. The PERFECT location for those who appreciate easy walking distance to it all. Including the famous “Tiki Bar”. Best part? Dogs allowed! The linens and blankets were new, clean, and super comfy. Plenty of blankets, pillows, towels in both bedrooms and the living room. Both bedrooms are roomy and have a full bath.The kitchen has everything you need and clean modern appliances. This classic cottage is well maintained and is clearly cherished by the host/owners who are super responsive and local. Cool fact - the island table in the kitchen was used in the John Travolta/Vince Vaughn thriller, Domestic Disturbance! Highly recommend for beach loving travelers looking for a cozy place by the ocean.

Thanks! Hope you can come back again! I love that it is close to everything but seems cozy/private. And I have 2 dogs too. At our house down on CB Ave North. So the doggies are important!

Beach cottage

The property is in a great spot and the house is adorable. When we arrived the floors were filthy and we swept up piles of dirt. The outdoor shower was in pieces and didn’t work. The beds weren’t comfortable and were covered in old plastic mattress covers. When I left a message to the host about the dirt and shower I received no response.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Nov 2025
This was right during a storm and 5 days of rain. So yes, the shower was broken from that. My cleaners were there that morning and no one else has a key. So I am sure the dirt was not there. But people have done this before, mainly at our CO cabin. What I don't understand is, the cleaners are only a few min away. But people always contact me AFTER they claim they have cleaned all of this themselves. When I would have paid the cleaners to do it in 15 min.

21st Bday

This property was absolutely beautiful and stunning! I live in Wilmington already but my mom was in town to help me celebrate my birthday and we are beach lovers and I decided to rent this cottage and it fulfilled everything that was posted on VRBO. When we woke up, the beach was right across the street and when we wanted to explore it was just close enough to see great restaurants and shops. When I needed to get in contact with Cathy, she was quick to respond and helpful. If you are looking for an easy-going perfect getaway with a kind and helpful host This is the perfect spot for you! Thank you for a great bday weekend Cathy!

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Tropmann

Host profile image
I'm originally from Southern Indiana, then Raleigh as of 1999. My son and I live in Carolina Beach now full time. Have had houses here (including rentals) since 2002. Currently this is the only weekly rental I am managing. I've owned it since last Spring. Originally we had a property manager but I took it over myself last Nov in order to provide better service to guests. (It was managed privately by the previous owners), And we have a lot of repeat guests so we want to keep that up.

Why they chose this property

This house is in an ideal location right between Carolina Beach and Kure Beach/Ft Fisher. So short walk across the street to the beach (2 accesses) and a quick drive to either town to enjoy the restaurants/shops, parks, and festivals. 5-8 min drive to the Aquarium and Ferry to Southport. Although on the main road, the house is set back off the road and feels private and cozy.

What makes this property unique

Location, dog friendly with fenced yard, One story/ground floor. Parking for 3 cars in front of house. House has nice gathering places including kitchen island (from a movie set!), living room, enclosed sun porch with queen sleeper sofa and dining table, and large outdoor space with dining table + other chairs.
