I reside upstairs in a separate cottage, so you will see me coming and going. Please note I have a mixed Shepherd dog (born October 2015), so she will also be coming and going. This also means, for you dog lovers, that your friendly and well-behaved dogs are welcome to come along as well. Well-behaved and trained dogs may be permitted to join your family. Carolina Beach has recently voted to permit visitors to walk their leashed dogs on the beach in the mornings and evenings throughout the summer - and there are MANY, MANY dog-friendly restaurants nearby! We require your dog's name and breed, as well as vet's name so we may verify vaccinations and health of all dogs to keep everyone safe. A MANDATORY NIGHTLY dog fee is requested via Airbnb after verification. We will provide a large crate for you to keep your dog happy and safe when you go out for dinner or are at the beach during the day. If you only need a single room, or have friends joining you, I can ALSO offer you TWO additional GUEST BEDROOMS in my upstairs cottage that are rented B&B style with no kitchen privileges but coffee, tea, and midnight snacks are offered up there: - Beach House @Tiki Oceanfront King room - Beach House @Tiki Oceanfront Queen room One has a corner king size bed with direct oceanfront and side ocean views, the second is a queen size bed in the middle with ocean views also. I provide towels, bedsheets and pillows in your Villa Cottage. You will wish to bring your own Beach Towels and beach chairs. Beach chairs and umbrellas can also be rented from us - we can help you arrange this. Walk to everything! Thursday nights the Tiki Bar nearby has live Beach Music by local as well as well-known bands on the Ocean Grill Tiki Bar just a five minute walk down the beach. No car needed!!! Personally, we like to bicycle whether going to Kure Beach or the Fort Fisher ferry over to Southport where I bike a short 10 to 15 minutes to the restaurants there, or to the Carolina State Park for hiking along the Cape Fear River, or just biking to the famous Carolina Beach boardwalk for an early morning yoga class or a late afternoon beer. Walk on over to meet up with some friends in the evening. Uber everywhere else! Being on the oceanfront, parking is limited. I usually have space for up to two cars. There is also paid meter parking on the side street across from the ocean, a short walk from our Oceanfront cottage. We will first greet you with a glass of wine or specially hand-crafted cocktail as we introduce you to the amenities of your cottage. We gift you a basket of fresh seasonal fruits and yummy snacks to enjoy during your lovely, week-long stay at your home away from home - your own beach cottage at our Beach House @Tiki 3 bedroom 2 bath oceanfront. Enjoy a relaxing day at the beautiful, white sand beach just a few steps on our private beach walkway to Paradise or just lounge on the spacious outdoor decks of our beautiful Beach House - an old Oceanfront beach villa first constructed in the 1930s, fully reconstructed by 2000, and now renovated and updated in 2016 with all new furniture, luxury flooring, and upgraded bedding etc..
