“The Sea Shanty" Classic Beach Cottage - Mins to CB Boardwalk and Beach Access

This charming Carolina Beach cottage offers a unique blend of old and new through recent renovations. It's conveniently located just one block from the newly redesigned boardwalk and two blocks away from the public beach access. Explore the restaurants, bars, arcades, and live music events that Carolina Beach is renowned for, all within easy walking distance.

Location of the cottage is what makes it unique. One block from the new and beautifully designed boardwalk with beach access right there. Walk to all the restaurants, bars, arcades, activities, and live music events that Carolina Beach is famous for.

Plenty of parking available, and once you park you don't have to drive for your whole stay (unless you want to take in some of the awesome local scenes like the NC Aquarium or the US Battleship).

Cottage includes amenities for you and your family including an enclosed outdoor shower with hot water, patio with a fire pit to gather around, ping pong table, charcoal grill and a private fenced backyard.

Fast Wifi to stream Hulu, Netflix, AT&T TV, ESPN+, Prime and Disney+. 3 large flat screen smart TVs in the family room and the bedrooms.

Take your beach gear and provided beach towels on a quick stroll to the beach in the wagon provided for you, but grab yourself some Britts Doughnuts first along the way for breakfast. When you're ready to refuel, head over to Franks Pizza and have a slice or 3 for lunch. When you've had enough sun, walk the family back, clean off the sand at the outdoor shower and have a lovely meal at home.

You can enjoy the whole house and the private fenced backyard.

Plenty of places for drinking, dancing, and dining available nearby. Golf cart and all other beach toy rentals imaginable, one block away. Fishing tours and booze cruise across the street at the Marina! Surfing lessons, kayaking tours, and all things beachy are right here!

Easy access to restaurants and board walk

Enjoyed a week at this property with my husband and three 20-something children. Plenty of room for us. Note that two beds are bunk beds - great for kids and my 21-year-old daughter didn't mind, but a larger adult may not fit. The house was super clean, and we really appreciated being within walking distance of the beach and restaurants.

Great location! Walked to beach, boardwalk (shopping) and restaraunts. The ping pong table was a hit with our grandkids. All around awesome place to stay. The only suggestion I would make is that the master closets need rods and hangers.

beautiful beach home, great location

Beautiful spot a short walk from the beach (3 blocks). Place is decorated in a way you won't forget you're there for the beach. Fun spot, cute area, plenty of nearby quality options for food, drink, and anything else you need. Most comfortable beds we've ever had at a rental! One night a bar 2 or 3 blocks away had on music loud enough we could definitely hear the bass throughout the house, but it wasn't loud enough to keep anyone awake. Was more strange that the place could play music so loud it could be heard 3 blocks away, albeit a Friday night. Very walkable to beach and also option to pay for parking if you prefer that $20/day or 5/hr. Very responsive and friendly owner's with a house that has everything you need for a lovely beach vacation. Thanks!!!

Great location

This is a great little property, great location, can walk to the beach, the boardwalk, lots of local restaurants, even a local grocery. And, it’s a short drive to larger grocery stores. The house is cute, the layout is a little weird, but not a deterrent. Bathrooms are small, but functional. The living area and dining room are perfect for hanging out, playing games, eating meals, etc...I had the pleasure of meeting the owners, very nice couple. Kumar, was very accessible and responded promptly. The property is an older home, the owners are in the process of making some upgrades which I think will make this property a gem! I would rent this home again.

Perfect location.. adorable house - great restaurants within walking distance - safe neighborhood

Our family enjoyed our stay at this little gem of a home - the Owner was very responsive once the issues were brought to their attention, and repairs were made promptly - comfortable beds, great restaurants such as positive vibes and who knew a gas station could have such great burgers, all within walking distance .. Would suggest getting a couple extra garbage cans, and an outside shower would be amazing- overall for the money and location- we were very pleased.. highly commend and look forward to visiting again in the future ..

Not what we expected

Unfortunately this property has seen better days. The yard was covered with litter when we arrived. The floors were dirty. There were flies in the house and cockroaches in the kitchen. The kitchen counter was wobbly and one of the chairs around the table was broken. There was an undisclosed camera system whose hub had black tape over the green “on” light so you didn’t know you were being recorded. The lights over the ping pong table didn’t work. The grill didn’t work. The toilet wasn’t attached to the floor properly and moved around a bit. The vent in the bathroom didn’t work. Workmen came to the property several times unexpectedly. Once to cut down a tree in the morning. Once when the teenage girls came back from the beach alone there were workmen relaxing on the front porch. Not a safe situation! It seems that the ownership of the property changed between the time of reservation and arrival. The new owner came to the house once during visit to help with wifi and he was kind.
