The Knotty Goose - Home in Carolina Beach
Welcome to your perfect home away from home in beautiful Carolina Beach! This spacious and thoughtfully furnished 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom beach retreat is the ideal for those looking to relax and enjoy everything this vibrant coastal town has to offer.
Just one mile from the famous Carolina Beach Boardwalk and only a 15-minute walk to the nearest public beach access, you’ll be close to the action while still enjoying peace and privacy. The home sits just half a mile from Carolina Beach Lake Park, perfect for seasonal events.
Inside, you’ll find a bright, open living space with comfortable seating, a fully equipped kitchen, and a dining area where everyone can gather. The three bedrooms offer plenty of sleeping space, and the two full bathrooms make it easy for groups to settle in and feel at home.
Step out onto the enclosed porch to enjoy your meals in the fresh coastal air at the outdoor dining table, or kick back in the garage hangout space—set up with seating and entertainment options, it’s great for relaxing after a day at the beach.
Carolina Beach is a perfect family-friendly destination with a variety of attractions to keep everyone entertained. Families can stroll along the lively Carolina Beach Boardwalk with its rides, games, and local shops, or explore nature at Carolina Beach State Park, home to hiking trails and rare Venus flytraps. Nearby, the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher offers interactive exhibits that kids will love, while Freeman Park provides beach access for fishing, swimming, and camping. Don't miss the historic Kure Beach Pier for fishing and ocean views, or relax at Carolina Beach Lake Park with paddleboats and playgrounds.

Great Stay Near the Beach & Boardwalk
We enjoyed our stay at the Knotty Goose very much. There was plenty of space for our family to spread out both upstairs and downstairs. Beds were cozy and the whole place was well maintained. We appreciated access to the boogie boards, bikes, and beach chairs. Only a five minute walk to the beach and a handful of dining options. The walk to the boardwalk was a beeezy 15 minutes. I recommend the little coffee shop!!
