About this property
Newly renovated home across from the beach!
Find your calm at “Above the Storm” — where every detail is a breath of fresh air! This beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been lovingly curated to provide an exceptional Carolina Beach experience. Just steps from the Spartanburg beach access, the prime location places you within easy walking distance of the Boardwalk, dining, shopping, and all the fun that Pleasure Island has to offer. Whether you're swinging in a hammock, lounging in basket chairs, or enjoying a friendly game of corn hole, this home is designed for laid-back coastal living.
As soon as you arrive, you’ll feel like you never want to leave. Head upstairs to the expansive decks and let the salty breeze and sunshine melt your worries away. Inside, the open-concept layout features brand-new kitchen, dining, and living areas, all accessible through two large sliding glass doors that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living. A charming daybed offers an extra spot for an afternoon nap or an additional guest. The space is filled with cozy, modern seating—both inside and out—inviting you to kick off your shoes and relax.
The sleeping arrangements are thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and privacy. A pack and play and highchair are provided if needed for the littlest travelers in the group. The first queen bedroom shares a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with another queen guest bedroom, making it ideal for families or friends traveling together. Tucked at the back of the home is the serene primary bedroom, complete with a king-sized bed and en suite bathroom—a peaceful retreat after a day in the sun.
Below the home, a shaded area offers two inviting hammocks and a beautifully landscaped, fenced backyard for added privacy. An outdoor shower provides the perfect spot to rinse off sandy toes, and ample parking for up to four vehicles ensures convenience for your entire group.
Beyond your doorstep, Pleasure Island offers countless ways to enjoy your stay. Savor world-famous Britt’s Donuts on the bustling Boardwalk, explore the Fort Fisher Aquarium on a rainy day, or take in Civil War history at the nearby historic site. Nature lovers can hike the scenic trails at Carolina Beach State Park and discover rare carnivorous plants in their native habitat. Whether you're craving casual waterfront bites or a gourmet dinner to celebrate a special occasion, the island’s dining scene won’t disappoint.
Come unwind, explore, and recharge at “Above the Storm”—where coastal charm and comfort come together for the perfect beach getaway.
