Charming cottage, rocking chair front porch

Who doesn't love a wrap-around rocking chair porch? This is a pet friendly home known as "Nest Egg", and you'll want to invest your time enjoying the close by beach access and rustic charm from a bygone era. There are two bedrooms located on the main level (both have a Queen bed) and two more upstairs (one with a Queen and the other with 3 Twin beds). For extra guests or kids you can also use the Queen-sized sleeper sofa located in the main level Queen bedroom.

There are two full bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen to complete this home, along with a separate dining room that seats 4 - perfect for a late night game of Spades! The kitchen table also seats 4 and there are 3 barstools at the kitchen counter.

You can't beat Carolina beach for family fun and your family will want to come back often and stay at the "Nest Egg"!

Great location

If you don’t mind an older beach property… this is the place to stay. It was across the street from an east walkable beach access. We had toddlers and a 90+ with us and everyone walked to the beach. Accessible to quick store runs. Lots of local food options. Great experience for us.

Great location

House is right across the street from the beach access which is great. It is on the north end close to Freeman Park which allows dogs all day, can drive on this beach if you have a 4x4. The house is spacious and the wrap around porch is nice. Inside the old girl is tired and in need of a makeover. It’s comfortable but no frills. Water had a very strong sulphur smell the first day which dissipated with use.

We LOVED the Nest Egg!

My family took our first family vacation in 9 years and we absolutely loved the Nest Egg!! It was in the best location with the beach access across the street. Our kids had an awesome time laughing on the porch and it was a perfect place for us to enjoy each other. Carolina Beach did not disappoint. We will be repeat customers!

cute little place with lots of character and bespoke decorations

the house was clean and very accessible in terms of the beach and getting to it from the main roads. it's an older lady with lots of character such as funky carpet, bespoke decorations, sticky doors, uneven floors and lots of creaks and groans. the water had a strong sulfur smell when we first ran it but that went away. the outdoor shower was cute and great to use coming back from the beach. it has a nice large porch with lots of seating and a table in the corner. for all its charm, my whole family has all said we'd stay here again.
