This is your chance to own a piece of Carolina Beach history. This charming oceanfront beach cottage captures the nostalgia of old Carolina Beach and is in a prime location with a private access to the sands of Carolina Beach. You are just steps away from the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, restaurants, local shops, and close to all the entertainment the town has to offer, but still on a quiet street with no through traffic for a residential feel. Step inside and be inspired by the vintage character and coastal views that can easily be enjoyed from the enclosed sunroom, deck, or the roof-top deck. This beach cottage is ready for your personal touches to transform this gem into the oceanfront escape of your dreams, or turn it into a successful beach rental. The main level features two well-sized bedrooms and one full bathroom. The lower level can easily be accessed through the spiral staircase that is well-situated in the entryway of the home. Downstairs you will find a garage that easily fits your car and golf cart along with a private bonus room - currently set up as a bedroom - and a full bathroom. The spacious owners' closet and additional storage space provide ample room for all your beach toys and gear. Head up to the rooftop deck to take in panoramic ocean views and enjoy the fireworks Carolina Beach offers on Thursday nights during the summer. After a day on the beach, you can rinse off in the enclosed outdoor hot/cold shower before heading inside. Recent updates include a new HVAC system (2025), storm-impact windows, and low-maintenance Hardie board siding (both approx. 5 years old). Whether you're looking for a personal beach getaway or a prime short-term rental opportunity, this beloved beach cottage offers unbeatable oceanfront living with timeless Carolina Beach charm.
