With decks on every level offering stunning ocean views, direct beach access, and playful octopus-themed décor throughout, this vibrant retreat is perfect for families, friends, or anyone seeking the ultimate beach escape.
Step outside and feel the sand between your toes via direct beach access, or enjoy your morning coffee from multiple levels of beachside decks. The ground-level patio features comfortable seating, a grill, and an outdoor shower—ideal for rinsing off after a day in the sun. For added convenience, the home also offers elevator access to all levels, making it easy to move between floors with ease.

The first level boasts three bedrooms: two king suites—one with direct access to a first-level oceanfront deck that leads to the boardwalk and beach—and a third bedroom with a queen bunk bed. Guests on this floor share a full bath, making it perfect for families or groups traveling together.
With direct beach access, multiple decks with stunning views, coastal charm throughout, and elevator access for effortless convenience, Octopus’s Garden isn’t just a vacation home—it’s your ultimate Carolina Beach adventure. Book your stay today and let the waves, sun, and fun begin!
