About this property
Direct Oceanfront 3 bedroom rustic beach cottage. Great beach memories!
One of only a few direct Oceanfront beach cottages left in Carolina Beach that is great for families. Sit on the front porch and watch waves or get up and have a cup of coffee on the porch to a beautiful sunrise. Direct beach views and access. This home was built in 1966 and owned by the same family for 55 years. This cottage offers an incredible beach retreat that is reminiscent of simpler times. Excellent surf break in front of home which is only 100 yards from the Tiki bar. You will enjoy "Mike's Beach", the private beach area at the base of the porch steps on the oceanfront. Want to get away from the beach crowds? You have your own private area to retreat to where you can sun, listen to music, make your own drinks or cookout on the Weber grill.
This is a very unique spot in Carolina beach with ocean views to die for! Sunrises that will amaze you and a location that is convenient to everything! You will enjoy the quaintness of this home and the unbeatable location! Bring your beach bikes and never have to worry about parking! House is a short 20 minute walk up the beach to downtown or a 5 minute bike ride!

About the host
Hosted by Michael Rose
I have grown up surfing and loving the beach. After many years of dreaming about a beach house at a great surf spot, I found this property that became available, after 50 years with the same family. I welcome everyone to my dream beach house!
Why they chose this property
Surf4life Beach Cottage is one of the only oceanfront homes on a private street with no public parking. This house has unobstructed ocean and beach views with sunrises to die for! You can sit on the porch and watch the surfers and beach goers. The Tiki Bar is very close and your can see the crowds and hear the live music in the summer time!
What makes this property unique
Oceanfront, convenient to everything and cool beach vibe!
