This home is stunning! It combines crystal chandeliers with stainless steel countertops, open catwalks and a Japanese soaking tub. Please note there is another vacation rental, downstairs, in the same building.
Spacious, bright and comfortable, there are expansive views of the sand, sea grass and water from every window. Ocean in the front and Carolina Beach Lake with its paddle boats, ducks, walking path and farmers market in the back. We believe this is the best location on the island!
The top two story section of the house is for your exclusive use. There is another, smaller vacation rental on the first floor, but they are two totally independent units with separate heating/air, water, entries, etc.
You will share the garage below the house and boardwalk out to the ocean, with its wooden benches, foot wash and shower. But there is plenty of space to go around!
You will have complete access to 2 1/2 levels of house. Everything inside the front door is yours! Three private decks: two facing the ocean and one overlooking the lake. You have your own full laundry room, entryway, two living areas, three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and an enormous kitchen area – all with beautiful views stunning details and spacious lighting. Look out any window to see views of water either the ocean or the lake! There’s no comparing it.
I like to allow my guests to enjoy the island at their own pace, giving them privacy to relax. I am, however only a text or phone call away and reside on the island in case anyone needs assistance.
We chose to build our home on this particular lot because of its superior location. The front of the house has expansive views of the ocean waving sea grass and dolphins swimming past the surfers lined up on the breaks, while the rear windows look out over the lake with its walking path, ducks, and paddle boats.
We are close enough to walk to many restaurants, coffee shops, bars, the boardwalk with its arcade and world famous donut shop, gift shops, organic market — the list goes on.
Every Thursday night the town of Carolina Beach puts on a spectacular fireworks display which you can see from any of the multiple porches in the house, or walk down the sand to join the festivities — there is always live music on those evenings.
On weekends you can walk across the street to the Carolina beach lake where there’s a farmers and craft market, often with live music and food stands. One evening a week there’s an outdoor family movie projected on a large screen by the lake! Bring a picnic and a chair. It is good family fun.
The list goes on, with the option of renting a golf cart for the duration of your stay. That makes everything more fun! Even grocery shopping.
The North Carolina aquarium is just a few miles down the island, as are the two four-wheel-drive beach accesses. And if you don’t have your own four-wheel-drive that’s no problem, Sun Fun Rentals rents out jeeps for specifically this purpose! You can rent a jeep and go build a fire on the beach!
We have two fishing piers close by — bring your own poles or rent theirs. You can also charter a fishing boat at the marina.
There’s a ferry to catch down to Southport which is a wonderful day trip with it’s excellent seafood restaurants, shopping and historic homes.
The Tony Silvagni surf school is just a stones throw down the beach. No driving needed. They are so friendly and can get anybody standing up on a surfboard with a big grin on their face. They’ll also deliver bikes, chairs, umbrellas and surf boards right to the door! We highly recommend them!
And when you are tired out from all those activities you can come into the cool luxurious surroundings of this house and relax on the couch with a cold drink and still hear the sound of the waves.
Bringing a car here is best, but then, absolutely rent a golf cart from Sun Fun Rentals on the island, or bikes from Tony Silvagni Rentals (he offers board rentals and amazing surf lessons as well).
Our house has such a great location that you can easily walk to bars, restaurants and coffee shops. You can always get an Uber or a lift, but calling one of the golf cart taxis for a trip around the island is the most fun! I think it’s about five dollars a person anywhere on the island. All of this information and more will be in the rental house when you arrive.
