About This Home

Wake up to the Atlantic just steps away. Set across from Carolina Beach Lake and a short walk to the sand at Access 13, this ocean-view 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home pairs modern comfort with easy coastal living -- equally suited as a primary residence, a getaway, or a vacation rental. The building has just been refreshed from the outside in. Recent improvements include a refurbished roof, all-new James Hardie board-and-batten siding (treated and freshly painted), updated exterior paint, and refreshed landscaping for a crisp, current coastal look. Inside, you'll find fresh interior paint, newer HVAC, a newer washer and dryer, and smart TVs throughout. Inside, the open-concept living area is built for gathering, with hardwood floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom built-ins, and rich cabinetry throughout. The layout offers two master suites, each with a spa-like walk-in shower, plus two guest bedrooms sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath. Step onto any of the multiple decks and take in the ocean -- the kind of view that turns morning coffee and evening cocktails into a standing ritual. A garage plus driveway parking for two more vehicles keeps arrivals easy, with dedicated storage for all your beach gear. Offered beautifully furnished and turnkey, the home is move-in -- or rent-out -- ready from day one. Everything Carolina Beach is known for sits within reach: the Boardwalk, local dining and shopping, lakeside festivals and summer events, plus boating, fishing, trails, and the nearby NC Aquarium. A rare chance to own a luxury ocean-view home in Carolina Beach, where everyday life feels like a permanent vacation.
