Octopus’s Garden is an updated three-floor duplex with 5 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths and an elevator. Two of the bedrooms are direct ocean front, but the other rooms all have ocean views through the 20 plus windows! Guests have a view all the way down Carolina Beach and can easily see Wrightsville from the oceanfront decks. The home has been tastefully decorated with wonderful and unique octopus’ décor throughout. The owners take absolute pride in updating and maintaining the house. Over the last few years, the kitchen and baths were remodeled, high-end beds were purchased for all bedrooms, all mattresses and bedspreads were replaced, and carpets were replaced with hardwood floors. Our outdoor space was also upgraded by adding a beautiful hand-designed outdoor Octopus’s Garden bar and shell garden. For 2024, we replaced the dishwasher and couches and continued to update the artwork. We also added a new table for more books, games and puzzles and continued to fully stock the pantry with outdoor plates, bowls, cups, wine glasses and kids cups. If you’ve stayed at Octopus’s Garden in the past, hopefully you’ve enjoyed the yearly updates. If you’ve never stayed at Octopus’s Garden, you are in for a treat! Now onto the house description!
