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.

Property was clean and nicely decorated and we have a very nice visit. There is a couple of issues that need to be addressed. The deck railings and house have mold growing and needs to be power washed. The large lounger on the deck has supports that need to be re-enforced. Finally, the sliding door, with the screen, does not lock properly.
House was clean and lovely, with all the necessities and many other plusses beyond those. Close to the beach and walkable to the boardwalk & the Ocean Grill/Tiki Bar which we very much enjoyed. Would stay again.

We had a great time and the home was very nice and well kept. Only negative wasn’t the home it was that most of the town was still closed. We will definitely come back and hopefully use this rental property.

Chad, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and loved the décor of the property! We hope you and your family do come back soon!
This cute house is situated on the main drag of town and a walkable .5 mile to the boardwalk. It is also walkable to ice cream, eateries, convenience stores, and one block from the beach. It is well appointed, clean, and very comfortable for my family of 4 plus my sister. We would definitely return. Highly recommend!

We were thrilled with the house. Spacious, clean, so comfortable. Loved the decor and amenities. Spent tons of time reading on the deck. The beach is such a quick walk across one street. I wouldn’t be comfortable letting kids go back and forth across on their own but easy if you’re careful. Would highly recommend, we hope to be back!!

The house was so nice and newly renovated. Loved how close we were to the beach and the open access under the house allowed for easy storage of our beach items for the next day. Also close to some great take out food places.

Stephanie, We are glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to try some local restaurants. We hope to see you again!
Arrived with spouse, daughter, son-in-law, twin boys and baby. Accommodations were exactly what was described. The boys had a backyard to play in. Would have liked to have a second gate in the front of the property nearest the road but we made it work. The kitchenware was very nice and we loved all of the upgrades done. Will definately be renting this property again. Very convenient to the beach when toting children, toys, coolers, etc. Would highly recommend the property. Thank you so much.

This was a fantastic house, newly updated with everything you could ask for. Well-stocked and spacious kitchen, large eating area and nice living room. The deck was a huge highlight with plenty of comfortable seating. Two-minute walk to the beach, ten-minute walk to the boardwalk area. It is on the main road so there is a fair amount of traffic, but it's a great location relative to all the attractions in the area.Would definitely stay here again!
