About this property

This charming bungalow is steps away from the beach access at the Ocean Grill Tiki. You can hear the ocean from the screened in porch out back or out front on a huge deck with picnic table. One block from the ocean, this house has been completely renovated yet still has the cottage nostalgia when it was a barracks. There is plenty of outdoor living space as well as a yard perfect for corn hole, grilling out or enjoying your family and friends in the privacy of the back yard (fence). Fully remodeled in 2020 (new floors, new decks, bathroom and kitchen with a screened in porch addition), this house is perfect for up to six people. There is enough room in the driveway to bring your boat or park three cars.

Charming Bungalow!

We were looking for a smaller home with three bedrooms so each of us could have our own place to sleep, with a small kitchen well stocked and a family room to relax in. All of this within walking distance to the beach. This was all we could have hoped for. We walked everywhere and enjoy the sunrise on the beach every morning. The yard is fenced for privacy and for children to play. The back deck with the enclosed screened porch was delightful to sit and enjoy the sounds of the beach. Clean, comfortable, close to beach. We will stay again!

Top 5 Family Vacation

Loved our time at the Pistachio Bungalow. Our Carolina Beach vacation will definitely go down as a top 5 for our family. My teenager loved the screened in back porch and our 5 year old loved every room in the house. This place had everything you would want for a blast at the beach. Definitely coming back!

Awesome

Had an amazing time. Loved the house and the porches were great especially the screened in back porch at night. It was a short walk to the beach which was not crowded and the tiki bar that had great food. We are going to plan another trip next year and can’t wait to get back.

About the host

Hosted by Allison & Bill Bruffey

We fell in love with CB back in 2015. We were actually visiting the Wilmington area because our daughter was competing in a triathlon. The charm and the vibe of Carolina Beach, of Pleasure Island, was undeniable. We kept talking about the possibility of buying, and then we did. We love it here and know our guests will too!

Why they chose this property

This property wasn’t even on our radar. We were actually looking for a lot. But Allison is always checking out the local listings and then this property popped up. When we first saw it, we loved the lot, but the poor house. We learned that it was actually a military barrack that had been relocated from Fort Fisher to its current location on Bowfin Ln. At that point, we embraced this little house’s history and decided to renovate. The final result is now called Pistachio Bungalow. Pistachio for the obnoxiously bright green that the house was once painted, and Bungalow because of it’s relaxing vibe and it’s size. It has everything you could want though. And the backyard and screened in porch are the perfect spot to unwind and relax after a long day on the beach. Literally a 3 minute walk to the ocean as well as to the infamous “Tike Bar”.

What makes this property unique

It’s location, hands down. Pistachio Bungalow is situated on Bowfin Lane, just off the very popular Tennessee Avenue and it’s traffic controlled crosswalk that leads directly to the beach access.
