About this house rental
Abundance on the Rocks is our oceanfront cottage with an enormous front porch just feet from the crashing waves. Open the sliding glass doors by the dining room table to feel like you’re picnicking on the sand, or stretch out on the sofa and watch swaying sea grass, rolling sand and miles of ocean.
Three bedrooms and one bathroom (plus an outdoor hot shower with privacy), each room has its own climate control, so the front of the house can be opened to the sound of waves while the back bedrooms stay cool and serene.
The deck has a table for eating, chairs for lounging and still there’s room to play.
Under the house is a shaded swing to relax and read a book or wait for the (small charcoal) grill to finish off your dinner. A few paces towards the ocean and you come to the fire pit. With fires prohibited on all public beaches, having your own private oceanfront place to roast hot dogs under the stars is a an uncommon luxury.
The Carolina Beach fishing pier is just a few houses to the North. The pier is home to tiki bar, live music, and a small restaurant.
The access to Freeman Park is also just two blocks away! With a pass you can take your 4 Wheel Drive vehicle onto the pristine sands, set up chairs, fish and enjoy the views. Off season fires are allowed in Freeman Park.
There are coffee shops, restaurants, cafés, bike rentals, surfboard rentals, surfing schools, live music venues, the boardwalk, the famous Britts Donuts... The list goes on and on, and all of these things are within a short bike ride of the house. You could also rent a golf cart! That makes even grocery shopping fun.
The house is oceanfront, with an unobstructed view north and south also. Do note that there are large boulders for purposes of keeping down erosion (as seen in the photos). The boulders are between the yard and the beach, so to access the wider sandy beach, guests can either walk through/across the rocks which is easy as long as your balance is not compromised by age or an injury. Or you can walk two lots to the south and use the public access. You can also drive to the public access or use the provided beach wagon.

We brought the full sized dogs, 4 adults, and two vehicles. We still had plenty of space for the dogs to go in and out. Spacious kitchen to prepare meals at night or grab lunch, while taking a break from the beach. Incredible location! Fished off the beach right in front of the house. Dogs loved the waves. Do not miss out on the day pass to Freeman Park. We had a great stay.

This little house nestled among the condos is just the right thing for a pleasant stay at the beach. That includes a well-stocked kitchen if you are determined to cook. If you decide not to cook there are many good restaurants in Carolina Beach. The house is within a few yards of the Atlantic, and the porch view will take your breath away with 180 degrees of ocean. You access the beach via a public walkway two or three houses down the street, or if you are a skinny Minnie you can squeeze through the rock revetment immediately in front of the house.
Back to the house. It is clean and bright with tons of windows. Every room has a TV, and wifi is very fast and reliable. You can access your favorite streaming sites through Roku. The pictures on the VRBO website are absolutely accurate. The washer and dryer are a very welcome part of the house. A word of caution, the house is small and has only one bathroom. We stayed there for two weeks with four people at times. With four it's comfy and cozy. With 5 or 6 I think you would feel the squeeze. The owner allows dogs and our small terrier was happy as can be with the arrangement. This is a perfect beach house for a small family.

Very nice property. Close to just about everything. If not in walking distance, just a short drive. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us!
