About this property

Prepare to have the best summer just blocks from the sand at the ultimate Carolina Beach retreat. And this one? It pays you back with built-in rental income, high-end finishes, and a backyard you'll never want to leave.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Carolina Beach, this fully renovated 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers the ideal blend of modern design and coastal charm--just a short stroll to the Spartanburg beach access, the lake, and the weekly Farmers Market.

Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully curated. You'll find original shiplap paired beautifully with updated LVP flooring and tile throughout, creating a clean, cohesive feel. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring new appliances, soft-close cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, open shelving and a stunning custom-made dining table that anchors the space. Custom trim work around the TV and a built-in landing zone add both character and convenience.

Upstairs, the primary suite is designed as a true retreat, complete with a spacious walk-in closet, a large walk-in shower, and a private balcony off the back--perfect for quiet mornings or unwinding after a day at the beach. The upper level also includes two spacious bunk rooms with plenty of room for friends, family, and guests, plus an additional guest bedroom, creating an ideal layout for hosting.

The lower level offers incredible flexibility and stands on its own as a fully functional living space--featuring a private entrance, full kitchen, comfortable living area, two additional bedrooms, a full bath and its own back patio. This level is ideal for guests, in-laws, or as a rental opportunity to generate additional income. You'll also find separate laundry accessible for both levels, an outdoor shower for easy beach days, and a large storage room for all your coastal gear.

Outside, a custom aluminum staircase with Trex decking offers both durability and style and the backyard is built for entertaining. Enjoy evenings around the custom-built firepit, relax on the new patio, and take advantage of the added storage with a new custom build shed and covered patio wired for an outdoor TV. The home also features all new fiber cement siding, two new HVAC units, new water heaters, and a metal roof completed prior to the current ownership.

Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a second home, or an investment opportunity, this property delivers--offering space for the whole family and the option to offset your costs with rental income, all in one of the most walkable and desirable pockets of Carolina Beach.
