Abundance on the Rocks is our oceanfront cottage with an enormous front porch just feet from the crashing waves. Open the sliding glass doors by the dining room table to feel like you’re picnicking on the sand, or stretch out on the sofa and watch swaying sea grass, rolling sand and miles of ocean.
Three bedrooms and one bathroom (plus an outdoor hot shower with privacy), each room has its own climate control, so the front of the house can be opened to the sound of waves while the back bedrooms stay cool and serene.
The deck has a table for eating, chairs for lounging and still there’s room to play.
Under the house is a shaded swing to relax and read a book or wait for the grill to finish off your dinner. A few paces towards the ocean and you come to the fire pit. With fires prohibited on all public beaches, having your own private oceanfront place to roast hot dogs under the stars is a an uncommon luxury.
The Carolina Beach fishing pier is just a few houses to the North. The pier is home to tiki bar, live music, and a small restaurant.
The access to Freeman Park is also just two blocks away! With a pass you can take your 4 Wheel Drive vehicle onto the pristine sands, set up chairs, fish and enjoy the views. Off season fires are allowed in Freeman Park.
There are coffee shops, restaurants, cafés, bike rentals, surfboard rentals, surfing schools, live music venues, the boardwalk, the famous Britts Donuts... The list goes on and on, and all of these things are within a short bike ride of the house. You could also rent a golf cart! That makes even grocery shopping fun.
The house is oceanfront, with an unobstructed view north and south also. Do note that there are large boulders for purposes of keeping down erosion (as seen in the photos). The boulders are between the yard and the beach, so to access the wider sandy beach, guests can either walk through/across the rocks which is easy as long as your balance is not compromised by age or an injury. Or you can walk two lots to the south and use the public access.
