Spacious Beach Retreat | Saltwater Pool, Balconies & Game Room

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.
Just a short stroll from the beach, this spacious home sets the scene for a fun-filled family vacation or a relaxing escape by the sea. Enjoy the ocean breeze from multiple decks and balconies, or soak up the sun in the fenced backyard, complete with a sparkling saltwater pool and slide.
After a day at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower, take a dip in the pool, or relax in the outdoor seating area. Fire up the gas grill and dine under the Carolina sky.
When it's time to cool off inside, you'll have plenty of room to spread out, with six bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen, and a game room. The kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and is fully stocked with dishes, cookware, and all the essentials for easy meal prep.
The game room is newly renovated and ready for action. There, you'll find a ping pong table, a Tornado foosball table, and arcade games. In your downtime, enjoy the board games, high-speed WiFi, and smart TVs throughout the home.
With the washer, dryer, and three and a half baths, your group can easily refresh and reset after a day of sun and surf. The redesigned driveway offers parking for up to six vehicles, so everyone can come along for the fun.
When you're ready to explore beyond the backyard, Carolina Beach offers endless opportunities for outdoor adventure. Enjoy hiking scenic coastal trails, boating through the waterways, or casting your fishing line. Just minutes away, you'll also find the iconic boardwalk, family-friendly playgrounds, and nearby golf courses for even more ways to play and unwind.

This was the ideal property for a large group. The common areas accommodated our family of 13, which I have found is rare. We loved the game room and pool. When we had an issue with the air conditioning, we received prompt service. Overall, it was an extraordinary place to stay

Great for families

Loved the location, quiet neighborhood. Very clean which is important to us. Lots of large towels. Pool with slide and game room were great! Large kitchen table and extra island seating was great.Negatives: outside shower not working, fridge ice maker not working, furniture tired. Given wrong door code and WiFi info. So had to call and wait for a new code.

Great house! Great Spot!

Great and spacious house perfect for our objective. Accommodate a very large number of people and just a very short walking distance from the beach and the town. Outdoor cleaning between guests was a little lacking. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Overall this was a nice property. It is older and has steep stairs but other than initial cleanliness (which was OK but not great) and a nonfunctioning ice maker, we found it comfortable for our family. The area pool is very nice and the beach is a short work away. We also found a walking path about five blocks west of the house that was very pleasant for morning & evening strolls---just be careful of alligators in the ponds along the way!

Great house for a large group

We had a large group of extended family gather for a week. The house was the perfect fit for us. We cooked dinner several times in the huge kitchen and found everything we needed. The saltwater pool and the water slide was amazing and we used it every day. There were lots of beach chairs and accessories available for our use in the garage. It was a short walk to the beach and not far from the boardwalk. We didn’t have any issues during our stay. A great time was had by all!
