The Original Lulla-by the Sea Amazing Oceanfront Beach House W/Pool and Elevator
Please be aware another property owner has copied the name Lullaby the Sea. This is the original Lulla-by the Sea. It is definitely not the same property.
Lulla-by the Sea-B, the left side of a duplex, is centrally located between the Fort Fisher NC Aquarium in the town of Kure Beach and the Boardwalk in Carolina Beach. Dig your toes in the warm sand and relax until your heart's content. Enjoy vacationing at Lulla-by the Sea and see what Kure Beach and Pleasure Island has to offer.
Pleasure Island has many wonderful attractions to keep everyone happy. Activities including historic Fort Fisher aquarium, sailing/boating, fishing, and shopping are some things offered. Great restaurants are located on the island and close to fine dining in Wilmington, NC. Each night, during the summer, offers a different adventure from Sunday night open air movies at the lake to Thursday night fireworks and live music at the boardwalk. We have one of the best fireworks display around as this is a weekly event during the summer. Don't leave the boardwalk without buying a Britt's Doughnut (ask anyone, they will tell you this is the best doughnut, ever).
Lulla-by-the Sea is a beautiful 5 bedroom 4 bath, oceanfront home (left side of duplex), with semi-private beach access, shared pool (with side A. It is not heated and is not available for usage from November through mid-April) and a private elevator. We have gone above and beyond furnishing our home to make sure your stay is memorable. Lulla-by the Sea comfortably sleeps up to 14 guests. You'll love looking at the Atlantic Ocean from the 2nd and 3rd level decks of this 2900 square foot gorgeous oceanfront three story home.
This three story duplex offers the best of the beach with amazing ocean views from the second and third level decks. Relax on the deck or tan beside the 16 x 32 saltwater pool (shared with side A, not heated and not available between November and mid-April) with footwash. Enjoy the complimentary high speed wifi service and smart TV's.
Upon entering Lulla-by the Sea, you will find that the ground floor offers a private garage with laundry (full size washer and dryer) area at the rear of the garage, an elevator that will access all three floors, and a large bedroom with full bath. This brightly decorated bedroom has a queen size bed and is equipped with a flat screen smart TV. It is great for teenagers to get away from the adults and have a private area.
Ascend to the open second floor and step into the gorgeous living room with breathtaking views of the ocean. This level has wood floors, double crown molding, chair rail and a back wall of windows with outstanding ocean views. There are two love seats, a sofa and a woven chair for plenty of seating. Need extra sleeping space, open the sofa and make a comfortable bed. This room has a large 47” HD smart TV. The fireplace is not available for guests usage. Walk outside onto an oceanfront deck where you can grill your nights dinner, or sit and enjoy a stunning sunrise. A semi-private beach access leads to the white sandy beaches of Kure Beach.
A stunning open floor plan on the building’s second floor allows easy entertaining for large groups. The dining area includes a large dining room table with seating for 8, while six people can sit at the bar. A completely well equipped kitchen with granite countertops, 5 burner gas cooktop, and stainless steel appliances makes cooking a breeze. This kitchen is stocked with every utensil, pot, pan, dishes, and gadgets you can imagine.
This floor also has a large bedroom with queen bed, walk out balcony, large closet, crown molding and flat screen smart TV. A bathroom with bath/shower combo is located close by. A hall closet holds adult and children's games and books, movies, extra linens for the sofa bed, first aid kit, cards, larger pots, and cleaning supplies.
The top floor, with wood floors, offers three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms. The middle bedroom, with a large closet, has two sets of bunk beds. The shared bathroom, with the bunk bedroom room and front street side king bedroom, has a bath/shower combo. The large street side bedroom has a king size bed with a small walk out balcony, and a flat screen smart TV. Enjoy a little bit of quiet time while reading a book in the sitting area in this room. A pack-n-play is located in this bedroom closet.
The large master suite with its stunning views, has a king bed, flat screen smart TV, and an extra-large walk in closet. Relax in the private bathroom with the deep soaking tub, large vanity with his/her sinks, and separate tiled walk in shower. Watch the dolphins or take in the beauty of an amazing sunrise or enjoy a cup of coffee on your private deck.
Outside from the living room on the second floor is a large area to relax with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Enjoy a delicious meal cooked on the gas grill. Take a dip in the lighted swimming pool shared with side A (not heated and not available from November - mid-April) with foot wash. Stroll over to the beach on the semi-private walk.

This is a stunning property with hosts that have truly thought of every detail. Throughout the week we all kept saying, “they thought of everything!” You really show up with your personal belongings, some food and you’re set for a week of paradise! The spaces are so large, the pool and beach access were unbeatable and the location to activities was fantastic. We loved our time!
The home is in a great location for quiet family togetherness! Perfect beach access, nice and clean, and a great view from the decks. The outdoor pool was great for the family, shared with the neighbors, made friends with them.Home was nice and clean and well maintained. Extremely well-stocked for cooking meals. (Pots, pans, bowls, utensils, etc.) I cooked for every meal and was never at a loss for anything. The service manager, Steve, was very responsive and kind. We will recommend to friends and hope to return.

We are so glad you all had a great time at Lullaby the Sea. Let us know when you all would like to come back! And thanks for spreading the word!!!
Our family had a lovely stay at Lulla-by the sea! The house was spacious and very well stocked. We appreciated that the owner posted clear expectations in advance. The location was quiet (at least in Early March), and we enjoyed walking on the beach, going for bike rides, and hanging out in the spacious living room and porch.

DO NOT rent from this woman; her security deposit is a complete scam!! She charged us 500 for a scratch on her tv that was there when we got there. We even have photos that show the scratch was there from the start. And when I messaged her to let her know and included our photo documentation, she ghosted me! Horrible experience!!!!!

I am sorry you did not enjoy your visit to Lullaby the Sea. As you can see from our 160 reviews (150 are 5 star) and now 9.8 rating, we try our best to ensure all our guest’s visit is as comfortable as possible. After each check-out, our cleaners report any damage they find by phone calls, text messages and photos. If the damage is significant, we notify the guest, send photos and receipts showing the cost of damage, and withhold that amount from the refundable damage deposit, which in this case was $481.49. After your checkout, our cleaners noticed a large scratch on the main floor TV, did as they were trained and reported the damage. I sent you the information and I received a message stating you did not cause the damage. You also sent a photo of the tv showing the scratch, dated the day after your arrival. After reviewing the photo and not being able to determine if the cleaners had missed the large scratch on the TV when the prior guests checked out or if it occurred after your check-in but prior to the date on the photo that you sent, I instructed VRBO to refund the $481.49 withheld. This entire process took less than 12 hours. I also sent a message explaining the process and why I withheld money. In this review there are statements of me ghosting you and running a scam. This is entirely untrue given the facts of the exchange of information on record.
It’s one of the best places we have stayed for all ages. Not too crowded on the beach or in the town. We will definitely be going back.

We are glad you all had a great time at Lullaby the Sea. We set a unique code for each of our guests and it is located on the front page of the check-in instructions that is sent prior to check-in. We made it easy to find highlighting it red, bolding, large letters/numbers and using asterisk before and after the code. Our towels are placed in the closets and we leave out a set for the number of guests that are listed on the info sheet. We are sorry if you didn't have enough linens for those that stayed overnight that were not listed or approved. The WIFI info is in a picture frame located in the living room. We are sorry you found the grill not cleaned. We do ask our guests to make sure the grill is cleaned after each usage.
Yes, the home was so relaxing and quiet. All enjoyed the time and having their own space, then lots of group space. A bit hectic on leaving trying not to forget check out needs.

Beautiful property that was a great location for a family get-together. Nice, walkable beach with direct access. Well-maintained pool for warmer weather. Some basic paper products and toiletries supplied, but bring your own napkins, tissues, shampoo, etc.
We stayed during the offseason and it was perfect! I would stay here again, super clean great location, and the ocean view was incredible.

The fan in primary bedroom suite does not work and the wall oven does not work well. The house was nice and clean.

Hi, thank you for your review. We strive to make sure our guests have a wonderful time at Lullaby the Sea. We wished you had reached out to us to let us know your concerns with the oven and bathroom fan. Upon reading the review, we had an appliance repair company check the oven and they did not find any issues. It heated to the temp set, maintained the temp and cooled properly. The fan in the primary bathroom, along with the other bathrooms, is one that remains on continuously, which helps with high humidity levels especially in the summer. We did have an electrician check the fan and he found it to be working properly.
The beach home was clean and as pictured! The host, Renee, was very accommodating. The property manager, Steve, was quick to respond! My only complaints- the pool didn’t seem to have been cleaned and the grill had some pretty caked on grease we had to really clean. Other than that the home was perfect and had everything we needed! Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed with our elderly parents 70 and one year granddaughter. The elevator was a convenience and the house was right on the beach. The house was clean and the kitchen well stocked. We cooked and grilled everyday

This was a wonderful place to have our family vacation. The rooms were a great size and having bedrooms on all floors gave everyone their choice of where to be. We enjoyed relaxing on the decks watching the waves roll in. The grill is large enough to accommodate a large meal and the table for 8 made it possible for us to gather and enjoy it together. Beautiful peaceful retreat!
