Still here? Here are some more details:
Step inside to find a welcome basket waiting for you on the bright, open main floor with vaulted ceilings, comfy seating, a smart TV, and a cozy propane fireplace. The living room includes a full-size pullout sofa, while the kitchen and dining area feature a bar-height counter, a wine fridge, an oversized dining table, and sun-filled windows—perfect for a gathering or game night.
Downstairs is a kid-favorite hangout, “Turtley Awesome”—a spacious bedroom/playroom with triple bunk beds, extra beds, games, beanbags, and a smart TV. The attached garage has ping-pong, room for beach gear, and is stocked with a wagon, chairs, an umbrella, towels, and bikes for cruising Carolina Beach’s bike paths. You’ll also find a large washer and dryer for easy laundry days.
Upstairs, the primary suite, “Crab-ulous,” is your private retreat, featuring a king bed, en-suite bath with a huge shower and dual sinks, a walk-in closet, and direct, private access to the upper sundeck. A perfect place for morning coffee or evening cocktails.
At the top level, a fully equipped office with dual monitors and fast Wi-Fi makes working remotely easy—though we recommend skipping the emails and heading to the pool or beach just steps away.

Perfect getaway for our family with small children. House is very nice; well-stocked kitchen and comfortable bedrooms and living room. The pool was a must for us - safe and peaceful way to relax and have fun. Neighborhood is great. Peaceful streets to bike and close to two state parks. Beach is extremely accessible. Hosts were very responsive. Can’t say enough good things.

What a space and a vibe! As soon as we arrived, the kids were in the pool and exploring the adventures of their space. The pool and yard are an extension of the house and lovely to have to relax, play and swim. Beach access, close to everything, and really the most perfect beach escape we could have planned with our hectic families to get together and enjoy a week at the beach. The space has corners to relax and enjoy the sunsets, to nooks for puzzles to be made. Aquarium was a nice break from the heat, and the lanai was key for a book to read. Would recommend to all, clean, super communicative, and will be back!

This property was impressive! Fantastic location, amentities and most importantly, very comfortable beds. The Owner, Andy, was great to communicate with. The beach views at the top were great but the distance to the beach (2 minutes)) made the week so nice! We cant say enough about the pool, hot tub, pool house restroom and back yard overall. We had 3 young grand daughters in our group and they had a blast!

Beautiful place to stay, close to the beach. We were a family of 13 and enjoyed hanging out in the yard using the pool, bbq and playing corn hole, it was the perfect spot for all of us to be together. Really enjoyed our stay here, highly recommended.
