North Star | Ocean Views + Rooftop!
Location! Location! Location! Welcome to our luxury beach home, North Star. Situated directly across from public beach access Periwinkle, with breathtaking views of the ocean from every floor, and a few blocks walk to Freeman Park. Going fishing? No need to pack up your supplies in the truck and worry about parking! Just step across the street and you are ready to see what great fishing the Atlantic has to offer. Take a 7 minute walk to the Carolina Beach Pier where you can enjoy a bonfire, drinks and great food at their restaurant and Tiki bar! Enjoy the ease of beachfront living complete with beach essentials (beach wagon, umbrellas, boogie boards, toys, and more!) AND private outdoor shower to rinse off after a day in the sun.
The Space: The interior boasts bamboo floors and tile throughout. The stunning kitchen is complete with limestone countertops, custom cabinetry, Viking appliances, and counter seating with four stools. The kitchen comes fully stocked with everything you need to cook and entertain. From serving platters, cookware, a pancake griddle, and tableware for toddlers and small children, North Star has it all. An additional wine bar includes a Viking wine/beverage fridge and blender and all drinking water in our home is filtered through a reverse osmosis filtration system!
The beautiful open concept living room features high ceilings, a 70” TV with Roku, a surround sound system, and ample seating. Sit down for meals in the dining room with a large table and chairs to seat 8. Surrounded by windows that overlook the ocean. A balcony off the living area overlooks the ocean and includes a table and chairs for four to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or just to read a good book to the sight and sound of the waves crashing.
Off of the kitchen is a screened in porch with a dining table that seats six. Enjoy playing cards, doing puzzles, or sharing a meal outdoors out of the sun, with the ocean breeze passing by!
Continue through the screened in porch to walk up the lit stairway, to behold the crown jewel of this home – the rooftop deck! Newly installed WearDeck composite decking that deflects heat and keeps feet from splinters makes this a joy to lounge on. Chaise lounge chairs, as well as other chairs make for a comfortable spot to enjoy the vista. Take dinner up to dine at the bar with a granite countertop, or relax with some lemonade, chips and salsa in the afternoon. For early risers, you won't want to miss taking in the sunrise from the rooftop! Or turn on the speakers that pipe in music from the living room sound system onto the rooftop and play your favorite tunes as you watch the sunset over the canal in the evening.

The North Star House was great! It’s a convenient location right across from the periwinkle public beach access. The decks and rooftop were great hangout spots for our family and friends. The house was clean and stocked well for our stay. We really enjoyed our week there!
