The large gazebo with dining table for six and 3 Captain's Chairs is perfect for enjoying the long-range views of the harbor that includes summer fireworks display offered at the boardwalk, the long boat races in the fall and the Christmas Boat Flotilla in December. A public boat ramp is conveniently located just around the corner and there is ample parking for your boat trailer on the side of the house. Some guests rent gas golf carts to ride up to the beach or up to our legendary Carolina Beach Boardwalk where you find shops, restaurants, and an abundance of summer activities such as fireworks, carnival rides and live music.

Make plans today for a lifetime of memories! This home is close by Freeman Park so if you have a four-wheel drive vehicle, bring it. There is a power plug located under the driveway for electric golf carts. This is one of the few beach areas where you can actually drive out onto the beach.
