About this property
Classic Oceanfront Cottage w/ Private Walkway, 2 Decks, Easy Walk to Carolina Beach Fun
Unplug, relax and take a trip back in time when things were simple. Miller's Whimsy has been an original Carolina Beach family oceanfront cottage for decades. This is a private, single family home with its own boardwalk to the beach and unobstructed views of the ocean. No searching for parking or long runs with beach toys and drinks, just stroll down the dock and you’re there!
Fresh linens and towels are included in the cleaning fee, so no need to worry about extra charges!
Miller's Whimsy is centrally located to all the activity, restaurants, shopping, boardwalk, pier and drive on Freeman Beach Park. If you’re looking for a simple beachfront home, no frills, a cottage homey feel, with fantastic views of the ocean, large living area for family and friends to gather, then Miller's Whimsy is the place for you!
