About the host
Hosted by Carrie Nicholas
We are originally from Chicago and moved to North Carolina 12 years ago. We love the State of North Carolina and eventually moved to the coast ourselves from the Raleigh/Durham area. I love hosting and making our beach place feel like your home for whatever amount of time you come to visit us, whether it be 2 days or 2 weeks!
Why they chose this property
We love that this neighborhood is extremely peaceful, yet we can walk to the beach in four minutes and have the waves hitting our feet. It is close to everything in Carolina and Kure Beach and offers great fishing, swimming and even the nightlife of Downtown Historic Wilmington. Boardwalks for both beaches nearby as well as Carolina Beach Lake which offers summer movies in the park. Local nightlife is abundant for families or couples including Carolina Beach carnival and known bars like the Fat Pelican or Lazy Pirate. Come see what our little slice of heaven is all about and why it is a beloved place to visit on the North Carolina Coast.
What makes this property unique
This property has three bedrooms with three en suite bathrooms as well as a fourth full bathroom upstairs off the main living area so everyone has their privacy for their stay. It is a 4 minute walk to the beach access and within walkable distance to downtown Kure Beach and fishing pier. It is a quiet area of the beach so the access is never overcrowded and it is perfect for a getaway all about relaxation and turning on vacation mode!
