Sweet Carolina Cottage

Sweet Carolina Cottage has million dollar views and sweet secluded serenity at the edge of Shallotte Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean! You are literally on the edge of America at this breathtaking beach escape!

Traditional Ocean Isle Beach Cottage

Enjoy spectacular million dollar ocean, inlet, and island views from the front deck! Clear views of Holden Beach and Oak Island across Shallotte Inlet, too! Close enough to the ocean to throw a football into the surf at high tide. Sweet Carolina Cottage is a well kept, older beach cottage that enjoys the same unobstructed views as an oceanfront home. There is a street in front of the house, dunes, sandbags, and then the beach! Beach access is a hop, skip, and a jump out the front door and down to the Columbia Street public access!

If you are looking for modern and/or the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach, this is not it! This cottage is the 5th house from the east end of the island on a dead-end street. Not much traffic. Great for walking, running, biking, fishing, sunning, and relaxing! Something to do for everyone! Although it is secluded and relaxing you will find all of the amenities right at your fingertips! Shopping and restaurants are just minutes away and there is a awesome homemade ice creamery just down the street, as well as play ground for the kids!
What are you waiting for?! Book your Beach Escape today at the Sweet Carolina Cottage!

Wonderful cottage!

We loved our stay at Sweet Carolina this past week. The location can’t be beat with practically ocean front views and a short walk to the beach. The cottage offered everything we needed, and was comfortable. There were a few things in need of simple repair but nothing that affected our stay negatively. Would happily stay again!
