Located just a few blocks from the beach, this duplex offers a convenient perch for enjoying surf and sand. After afternoons spent relaxing in the sun, venture about a mile to reach Carolina Beach Boardwalk where you'll find ample dining options and amusement rides for kids. More seaside fun awaits Kure Beach and Freeman Park, both about three miles from home.

When you return home, kick back on one of the duplex's balconies. The upper balcony features two loungers for catching rays while the lower balcony boasts a sectional where you can unwind with a vacation read. The backyard offers more room to unwind and has plenty of seating allowing you to relax with ease. Here, you'll also find games and a firepit to enliven your stay.

Beach-inspired decor adds charm throughout the interior of the duplex. Bathed in natural light, the living area features a smart TV and a sectional where you can gather for movie nights. Channel your inner chef in the well-equipped kitchen, then gather together at the dining table to share home-cooked meals.

It was awesome

The house was big enough for all of my family to be able to be together and still have room to move around and not be on top of one another. We were close enough to walk to the beach and a very short drive into the town

Nice Stay

We planned a trip over Labor Day weekend to include my mother (in her 70's) and we really enjoyed our trip. Remember you are at the beach so expect stairs in the places you are staying (stairs to get into the house and stairs to get to the third floor bedrooms). The bathrooms were nice and even had one that was a walk-in which was great for my mother. All of the kitchen needs were provided! I would recommend this place!

Don’t recommend

This is part of a duplex - the first night we arrived there was a group of young party people in the duplex next to us who partied all night so there were no quiet hours. When reached out to the guest services they said there wasn’t anything they could do . We dealt with them for 7 days and ended up having to call the cops . Then we left something behind and asked soon after checkout if they could check and they told us there would be a charge to even look for the item . The house was clean and nice but the duplex part and not knowing who is going to stay next to you is not fun especially if you have young kids trying to sleep. The guest services was not helpful in any way.
