Oceanfront Neptune Bedroom - has One double and one twin bed, and adjoining full bathroom.
Oceanview Mermaids Bedroom - has One queen bed and adjoining full bathroom.
Oceanview Dolphins Bedroom - has One queen bed and full en-suite private bathroom, as well as private lockout entrance.
LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. Just steps to the Ocean Grill Tiki Bar where you can grab a wonderful lunch, a cold beer or cocktail, or just kick back on your own large, covered wrap-around porch and listen to the live music on Thursday evenings in the summer. Or take a stroll to the famed Carolina Beach Boardwalk - just .8 miles away - a 20 minute leisurely stroll along the white sandy beach.
Our Oceanfront all on one level cottage is about 1400 square feet and has a huge living room dining room and kitchen - all flowing for open family space. (Our upstairs cottage has the upperrwo levels where I host only two guest bedrooms.)
The living room has a large Leather sofa - the back cushions can be removed to double as a quick overnight bed in the living room. Lots of DVDs, books to take away, and family-friendly games included.
We stock your kitchen with spices, condiments, some cereals and starter coffee and tea. From there on - it's your kitchen for cooking.
Dine outside on your private Oceanfront Porches and decks overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, sparkling just in front of you. A large kitchen table is provided in the kitchen area, as well as a separate games or work table. There is also a large private outdoor grill for use in our parking area. There are two four person table for al fresco dining or card games on your wraparound Oceanfront porches as well :-)
Later, sip on your cocktails (we welcome you on first day arrival with a specially hand-crafted Tiki Signature Cocktail made by your hostess for the week) - as you settle in and relax in your serene space. Later, walk out on the wide sandy beaches - flashlights also provided for your use.
Walk 3/4 mile along the beach to the famous, USA Today reader-voted award-winning Carolina Beach Boardwalk - with loads of live entertainment, fine and casual dining restaurants and live music. The Ocean Grill Tiki Bar has live bands from 7-9PM all summer. That’s just one block up the beach.
Watch the CB Boardwalk Fireworks from your own Oceanfront Deck. - the Tiki Bar is a short 2 minute walk up the beach.
This is a quiet more private section of Carolina Beach, with a public access walkway but no public parking... making this a very exclusive, sought-after property for beachfront pleasures!! Be spoiled!!!
Your hosts live upstairs and have two additional rooms rented out as full luxury Bed and Breakfast style rooms (you can inquire for these additional rooms if you have extra guests who want to stay with you). The Host Owner and two BNB Guests upstairs have their own wrap-around porches and a family dog resides up there on the third level. All residents share the Private Beach Access. There is also a Lifeguard Stand at the nearby Public Access - which has no public parking. You will be allowed to park up to two or three vehicles. You can Uber or Taxi, Short Walk or Bike to everything here on the island. We are in the best, ideal, middle of the island location - quiet but walk to everything!!
Your hosts can arrange beachfront yoga, guided meditation, oceanfront custom dining, international cooking classes, seashell craft-making for the kids, private kayaking tours or walking tours to private island secrets... just ask!!
ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING ANYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY.
DOGS MUST BE PRE-APPROVED and veterinarian information must be provided for verification of vaccination and health of our dog.
No Cats nor other pets permitted. .

About the host
Hosted by Jeanette
World traveler, born in Sweden - grew up in beautiful Virginia. Earned a PhD. in Information Technology - now living our dream. We want to share our joy and this beautiful, historic home of Serenity with our wonderful guests who love the healing Atlantic Ocean as much as we do.
Our mixed breed Shepherd loves her ocean front playground and loves to welcome other guests' dogs to her awesome front yard!! Sea grasses, healthy white sand dunes and sparkling turquoise waters are our playgrounds year-round.

Why they chose this property
This is the quintessential Beach House - a North Carolina gem. Originally constructed in 1932 when it resided on what was Wilmington Beach - playground for the leisurely Wilmington downtown residents and owned for over 70 years by the Booker family who loved this home. Rebuilt in 1997 and in 2016 and 2017 it has been updated and made shiny clean with new rich wood, new flooring, shiny bright furnishings, sheers that let in all the Ocean light that sparkles outside every window in this adorable Beach Villa.
What makes this property unique
Super-quiet area of Carolina Beach, yet walk to everything. .8 miles to the CB Boardwalk - lots of dining, live music, games and a lively boardwalk all year round. We live here year-round and love love this beautiful home.
