Still here? Here are some more details:
Step inside to find a welcome basket waiting for you on the bright, open main floor with vaulted ceilings, comfy seating, a smart TV, and a cozy propane fireplace. The living room includes a full-size pullout sofa, while the kitchen and dining area feature a bar-height counter, a wine fridge, an oversized dining table, and sun-filled windows—perfect for a gathering or game night.
Downstairs is a kid-favorite hangout, “Turtley Awesome”—a spacious bedroom/playroom with triple bunk beds, extra beds, games, beanbags, and a smart TV. The attached garage has ping-pong, room for beach gear, and is stocked with a wagon, chairs, an umbrella, towels, and bikes for cruising Carolina Beach’s bike paths. You’ll also find a large washer and dryer for easy laundry days.
Upstairs, the primary suite, “Crab-ulous,” is your private retreat, featuring a king bed, en-suite bath with a huge shower and dual sinks, a walk-in closet, and direct, private access to the upper sundeck. A perfect place for morning coffee or evening cocktails.
At the top level, a fully equipped office with dual monitors and fast Wi-Fi makes working remotely easy—though we recommend skipping the emails and heading to the pool or beach just steps away.

Location, location, location. The house was well stocked with towels, cooking needs, grilling supplies, pool toys, games, bikes, even shampoo, conditioner and body wash! Any questions were promptly answered. The host left a welcome basket of snacks and tons of info about the house and the area. My grandkids loved having the beach so close and the pool even closer. Overall, a great week.

This house was perfect! It was very clean, and had anything you could need. The beds were very comfortable as well. It was a very easy short walk to the beach entrance. We could not have asked for a better stay. We will definitely be back!!!

Great place to stay for our family vacation. My grandchildren loved the pool and the kids area in the basement. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. Just a short walk to the beach.
