About the host
Hosted by Carol Shomo
I am a born and bred beach girl who grew up near Ocean City , MD. I have always loved the beach and have passed that love down to our two daughters and 4 grandchildren. Our oldest daughter introduced my husband and I to Carolina Beach years ago and there was no looking back, we were hooked! This property was our first purchase in Carolina Beach and we love it. I hope you do too. We wake up with a smile on our faces every morning and you will too. We also live on the island, so we can respond to issues quickly.
Why they chose this property
This is the ideal beach house with large rooms for your family to gather together, but enough space for time alone if desired. It has large bedrooms, a 30x30 great room, large kitchen that is well equipped, fabulous front porch to gather and a huge lower level to play pool, games, puzzles, or watch tv. the master bedroom has a large bathroom, an office nook for working and a small private deck with access to the backyard. With this house, the occasional rain shower will not dampen the fun. The fenced in backyard is perfect for kids to play in or your dog to roam. Just For The Shell Of It is one block from Freeman Park, where you can, for a fee, drive onto the beach with your four wheel drive or walk on for free. It is also one block from the Carolina Beach pier. and you are only 4 houses from the beach. The island provides so many options for enjoyment. You have a state park, boat/paddle board/kayak ramps, bike paths, boardwalk, aquarium, surf fishing, bike rentals, surf lessons, skate park, great food, boat tours, deep sea fishing, Fort Fisher museum, ferry on the south end back to Southport and the mainland, fireworks every Thursday in the summer, movies at the lake, a weekly market at the lake, paddleboats, and best of all, SAND SURF and SUN! that is all on the island. Leave the island and you have Wilmington within 10 miles. An island that does not close down for the winter and has all the friendliness and charm of the Carolinas.
