About this property

Beach bungalow at pistachio: one block from the beach and Tiki bar

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.

This is our second time staying at this property. The location can’t be beat. It’s a short walk to the beach. Our favorite spot in the house is the screened in back porch. It’s the perfect place to relax.

The host was responsive and helpful. This property was an easy couple minutes walk to the beach and tiki bar. We had perfect weather and were able to enjoy the screened in back porch and outside shower. The bathroom and main living area is on the small side. This property is a great choice if the beach is your main destination and you're not looking for the house to be the main hangout place. They are also starting construction on a home in front of the property. We would highly recommend taking the car ferry to Southport!

Great Getaway for Spring Break

My family and I enjoyed our stay very much. The screened in back porch and fenced backyard were just wonderful for a family with young children! They also offered puzzles and books in the laundry room for use on a rainy day. The owners were very responsive to all our questions and needs. Wonderful vacation spot 🙂

About the host

Hosted by Allison Bruffey

Host profile image
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.
