This remodeled classic 50's craftsman style beach front cottage is ready for your enjoyment. In early 2024 I decided to rejuvenate the home in a way that harkened back to its mid century roots. Throughout the home are clear pine whitewashed floors and tastefully painted, original pine tongue and grove wall coverings. The kitchen and baths all have, maple cabinets with Granite counter tops.

In the kitchen you will find all necessary appliances for your convenience including combination electric cook top/stove, dishwasher, 1000 watt built in microwave and refrigerator with ice maker. Each bathroom has maple cabinets with granite tops and period MCM faucets and fixtures. Each bathroom has a tub/shower combo for any family members specific bathing needs.

Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, there is enough room for six of you and your family or friends to enjoy this beautiful location. Situated close enough to walk to major features of Carolina Beach, yet away from the noise, this home is perfect for those wanting an active site seeing schedule or night life. The property includes a beach front lot with beach badminton/volley ball court, watch the kids play without worry of auto or public foot traffic. Sit on the large deck and watch the day go by, see boats and dolphins on a regular basis. In the afternoons, the reclined built in bench will allow you to bask in the sun without missing a minute. A semi private outdoor hot and cold shower will allow you to rinse off after a long day on the sand.

When not out and about, relax inside on the plush period correct couch, love seat or private sitting chairs, watch TV on either of the two flat screen TV's or just sit back and relax while watching the waves crash on shore from inside. You are sure to enjoy this location. Call today to book your memorable stay at 'A Summer's Rest '

Girls weekend getaway!!!
We had a great time!!! House was small but clean for our girls weekend of 6. Says it sleeps 8 which it will but seating in living room and at kitchen table is for 6. Awesome fire pit out back with great sitting area. Volleyball court for those that like to play. Little path over dune to beach. Kitchen dining area was open and spacious. Chris was very quick to respond to text messages.

Volleyball Retreat with Friends and Family
We rented this house to serve as the meeting place for a group of volleyball friends. I stayed with my family and one other family. Sunrises, easy access to the beach, the yard, and the fire pit were the highlight of our stay. The house is cute and cozy. It had everything we needed, but we mostly spent our time outside. The yard is sand which allowed for the younger kids to play while we played volleyball. Admittedly, we didn’t get to play as much volleyball as we hoped because there are cacti growing around the perimeter of the property and all three of our balls popped. So, if you plan to play volleyball, don’t bring your best balls. The location is close enough to the boardwalk to make everything really easily accessible. I would 100% stay there again.

Cozy home with the best location!
This home is identical to the listing and images. The bedrooms were all spacious and the place was clean for the most part. We did find some hairs in one of the showers and the towels had some light stains on them, but these are things I’d expect to find at most rentals and overall the space was clean. The best part about this rental was the location. We were near everything we wanted to do like the battleship, aquarium, and food places. And the best part was being able to walk out the door and right out to the beach. Great location! The only real negative we had was just that the tv in the living room you can access Netflix through the Xbox. Which for my older in-laws was a very hard task, and the other tv isn’t usable unless you bring a fire stick or something to stream with. This is mentioned in the listing but we just had no idea how limiting it could be to use the tv’s. Thankfully we had plenty of other things to keep us occupied. The owner is very nice, and quick to respond. We had a great vacation, and the rental overall was great, just be prepared for the tv if you are older!

HOT time at the beach
We had a wonderful small family reunion at A Summer's Rest. We came from VA with my son, his wife and two daughters, my husband and I. My middle son lives in Wilmington and our son from CA flew out to stay with the middle son, so we were all together for a change. Chris is always quick to reply to any question, even silly ones like where he got the cute crab decorations! This is our third time there and the house is very comfortable for us. I prefer to cook, and the kitchen is well stocked.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Saba

Host profile image
I have been in the business of building (I am a licensed General Contractor) and maintaining rental property in the Wilmington area since the early 90's. I am the proud owner of this great beach bungalow in Carolina Beach (A Summer's Rest ). This is home was remodeled summer of 2013 (updated in 2019) AND NOW REJUVINATED IN 2024, and is ready for your occupancy. I am a local resident who enjoys using my beach home when not being leased. I know you'll enjoy this home, and would like to thank you for considering staying in my home. After April, I will still be local, just turning over the reins to a regular management company so I can focus on creating other projects. If you/management need me, I will be available.

Why they chose this property

This home is truly in one of the best spots on the beach. Besides the private beachfront lot that sits in front of the home, the location and proximity to the downtown area (bars, shopping, food, entertainment), lake (paddle boats, free Sunday night movies under the stars), shopping and food (ice cream and snack bar across the street) make it ideal. With only a short walk to all, you can forget about needing the car to get basic needs met, as well, the kids will have a fun and safe place to play (private lot) without constant need for supervision. The dunes protect them from being seen from the beach and the home keeps them from being near the street.
Make sure to check out the Fort Fisher Aquarium (Kure Beach), movies around the lake for kids on Sunday nights (in season and a short walk from my place) and all the great local attractions without having to leave the island. We have Farmer's Markets on Saturday mornings (in season) and a multitude of music and food festivals, all on island.

Adults can have fun by visiting one of a number of our local bar and grills. My favorite is the Sea Witch, where local and regional bands play, you can eat, listen and dance all night.
The Fat Pelican is a cool Beer dive, with an entire walk in cooler of craft and other beers to choose from. Walk in, pic anything you like and pay by the piece. A great locals place in the off season.
The Lazy Pirate is the other great local bar/grill. Good food, night life and their own volleyball courts make it a cool place to see and be seen.

What makes this property unique

A quiet, private and safe family location smack dab in middle of the historic Cape fear region, you can't go wrong!
