All the kitchen, beach and bathroom accessories you could need. There is even a wet bar with all your glasses and shakers. Less than a five minute walk to the beach, and a cart is provided. Bikes, washer/dryer, dishwasher and a pool are also available for your use. The bed rooms were comfortable and specious. So much to do in Carolina Beach that I wish we would have stayed longer. ##### Dawn S.
