All the bedrooms and baths were comfortable and well-appointed. The living room, kitchen, and dining room were perfect for our group of 8 including one toddler.

Carolina Beach is known for its shallow ocean bottom with traditionally gentle waves, abundant activities including surfing, shelling, fishing, boating and hiking, This area of Pleasure Island is a playground for visitors of all ages who can’t get enough of the sand, salt and sun. The family friendly beach has 20 lifeguard stands to cover 3 miles of shoreline in the summer season. Freeman Park, a great place to observe wildlife, dunes and majestic seagrass, has one of the few beaches in NC that permits 4-wheel drive vehicles onto the beach.

What makes this property unique

'Permanent Waves' is an oceanfront property that is adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway. Notably, guests have water views from nearly every room in the house. On the ocean side, Dolphin pods are a frequent siting due to the close proximity to the inlet. On the street-side, enjoyable past times include boat watching on the Waterway while capturing a stunning sunset. Just minutes away the North Pier and Freeman Park are perfect spots for those who like to fish, crab and rake for clams. And, right out the door, guests can relax/swim in the heated, salt water pool or stroll down the private walkway and put their toes in the sand for much needed beach time. An outside hot and cold shower make going back and forth to the beach even more fun, clean and easy.
