About this property

Steps to Beach · Pet Friendly · Newly Renovated

  • Newly Renovated | 1BR King Cottage | Steps to Beach | Pet Friendly | Peek-a-boo Ocean Views | Carolina Beach

    A newly renovated one-bedroom retreat in the heart of Carolina Beach, the Little Blue Cottage has been lovingly restored and refreshed from the ground up: new floors, fresh paint, new furniture, and all the soul it had before — fully intact. This little cottage has weathered a storm, come back better than ever, and is ready to be someone's favourite place on the Carolina coast again.
    The front porch sets the tone immediately: four rocking chairs, string lights overhead, peek-a-boo ocean views, and the kind of unhurried morning that reminds you why you took the week off in the first place. The beach is a three-minute stroll. The boardwalk is around the corner. And inside, the electric fireplace, Smart Roku TVs, and well-equipped kitchen make the cottage as comfortable on a rainy evening as it is on a perfect beach day.
    Small? Yes. Mighty? Absolutely. The Little Blue Cottage punches well above its weight — and guests who've stayed here will tell you it's the kind of place you come back to every year.

    The Space:

    • 1 king bedroom — cozy, newly furnished, and ready for a proper night's sleep after a day at the beach
    • Front porch with 4 rocking chairs, string lights, and peek-a-boo ocean views — the best seat in Carolina Beach for morning coffee
    • Newly renovated throughout — fresh floors, fresh paint, fresh furniture
    • Well-equipped kitchen with all essential amenities
    • Electric fireplace for those cooler coastal evenings
    • High-speed WiFi & Smart Roku TVs
    • Pack-n-play and high chair available
    • Bed linens and bath towels provided — just bring your beach towels!
    • Starter supplies provided: hand soap, dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels & trash bags. • For stays longer than a couple of nights, plan to supplement based on your group's needs.
    • Up to 2 vehicles on property — please park directly in front of the cottage without blocking the driveway

    The legendary Sea-Witch live music 🎶 venue is just around the corner — and on weekend nights, you'll know it. Music carries until midnight, and from the front porch it's actually a pretty good free show. If you're a light sleeper or an early-to-bed traveller, grab some earplugs and lean into the coastal soundtrack. If you're the kind of guest who considers live music a bonus — you're going to love this porch.

    These guidelines are here to help you and your group settle in comfortably, enjoy every amenity, and leave the space just as wonderful as you found it for the next guests. Please take a moment to read through and share with your group.
