Cheerful stay

Located just 3 short blocks from the public beach, this is a very comfortable accommodation for a stay at Carolina Beach. We especially loved the screened in porch, what a great place for morning coffee. Restaurants and the boardwalk are within walking distance. Parking is on site. The kitchen was well equipped.

Cheerful cottage

Had a great visit here at the cheerful cottage! Excellent location, only a 6 or so minute walk to the beach. In walking distance to a few restaurants/coffee shops. The house is cute, cozy and clean! The hosts were very accommodating and quick to respond to any of our needs or questions.

Cute Cottage Close to Everything

My family really enjoyed staying in the adorable house! The host has thought of pretty much everything you could need while here. Only a few short blocks walking distance to the boardwalk area, restaurants and shops. The screened in front porch is a great place to hang out. It was too cold for us to enjoy it this trip, but we definitely want to stay here again when summer comes. The host was great with communication. Highly recommend this listing!
