Two charming beach cottages, one unforgettable escape! Helen and AJ's Cottages offer a combined 6 bedroom oceanfront retreat! Experience the charm of a quintessential Carolina Beach getaway with not one, but two inviting beach cottages nestled side by side! Whether you're planning a family vacation, a getaway with friends, or a trip for a larger group, these neighboring cottages offer the perfect combination of flexibility, comfort, and classic coastal charm.

Welcome to AJ & Helen's Cottages, two side-by-side beach houses right on the ocean in Carolina Beach. Named after their grandparents, each home is its own 3-bedroom/1.5 bathroom cottage, making this a great fit for families traveling together, reunions and friend groups. A blend of privacy and community! Everyone can share beach days and dinners on the decks while enjoying the privacy of their own cottage.

Each home offers a fully stocked kitchen with all of the essentials from spices to cookware. Guests can enjoy both a standard carafe coffee maker or a Keurig pod coffee maker as well as a starter supply of coffee and paper products! A cozy living room offers space for guests to relax and each are furnished with two couches and a smart TV. The bedrooms are cozy and coastal, with soft colors, quilted bedding and nautical touches. Guests arrive to beds made with fresh linens and plush towels!

Helen's Cottage sits closer to the ocean and AJ's Cottage sits closer to Carolina Beach Ave N. but both offer relaxing sounds of the ocean from the porch.

Outside, guests of each cottage have their own private space to gather and can enjoy a decked walkway between the two cottages. Enjoy the sounds of the ocean from the porch or grill dinner on the private decked patio. The Scotch Bonnet beach access is directly next to the houses and offers a decked walkway to the beach for added convenience. Rinse off in the private outdoor shower at each cottage after a day in sun!
