2026 HVAC + GREAT LOCATION + AFFORDABLE PRICE = EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY! From ocean sunrises on the back deck to harbor sunsets on the front porch, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath furnished beach cottage captures everything you love about island living. Ideally located just one block from the ocean and public beach access, you'll enjoy an easy bike or golf cart ride to the Carolina Beach Pier, Freeman Park, the marina, boardwalk, restaurants, and entertainment. Inside, classic beach cottage character blends seamlessly with thoughtful updates. Charming details including beadboard chair rail, a vaulted wood ceiling in the living room and kitchen, and a retro painted tin ceiling in the primary bedroom create warmth and personality. The spacious kitchen offers ample cabinet space, an island with bar seating, and opens to a large living room on one side and a cozy dining area on the other. There's even a dedicated ''work from anywhere'' nook. In 2024, the home was elevated through a FEMA grant using a resilient helical piling system encased in concrete block.
