The owners take absolute pride in updating and maintaining the home. Over the years, the kitchen and baths have been refreshed, high-end furnishing as well as new appliances were purchased (including a new refrigerator, oven and microwave in 2025 and dishwasher in 2024) and carpets were replaced with wood floors. The home has been attractively decorated with excellent and unique octopus’ décor throughout.

The first floor has three roomy bedrooms – one oceanfront king room with a slider out to the deck, the second king with ocean vistas and the third with a unique queen over queen bunkbed. There is a huge bathroom and laundry closet with a Samsung washer/dryer.

The second floor is open and cavernous to allow for enormous family gatherings. It has pretty vistas from the many side windows and the double sliders which lead to a sizable deck. The living area has two couches and a coffee table as well as a decorative fireplace. The huge, updated kitchen (including a drink refrigerator that holds 140 cans) is completely equipped with plates, bowls, glasses, pasta bowls, serving platters, mixing bowls, baking pans, a blender, toaster, BBQ kit, Cuisinart coffee center, crockpot, and a buffet warming tray. The two kitchen islands comfortably seat 6 people and the dining room table seats 8.

The third floor has two master suites with king beds and oceanfront/vistas. The oceanfront bedroom has sliders out to the deck with two chairs and a chaise lounge and an attached bathroom with a hottub tub and a sizable window facing the ocean! The other master has marvelous vistas of the ocean as well as west-facing vistas of Carolina Beach, offering handsome sunset colors. The bathroom has been completely modernized with subway tiles, a tile floor and vanity.

If you need more outdoor space beyond the large decks, then the covered bar/grilling area is waiting for you! Savor some beverages at the hand-designed Octopus’s Garden bar with outdoor lighting or hang out on the brick patio with Adirondack chairs and a gas barbeque. There is also a toy chest filled with kids’ buckets and shovels, an outside shower, and direct beach access from the private walkway. The unit also includes beach chairs and towels for 12 as well as coolers and bocce! Up-to-four cars can be accommodated.

Once you park your car, you can leave it there as the duplex sits on a one-way street that is more like a pedestrian walkway, and convenient to nearly anything in town! It's an simple walk to the Carolina Beach boardwalk to the North and the Tiki Bar to the South, as well as Carolina Beach Lake, the Greenway, Veggie Wagon, Britts Donuts, eateries, and bars, including locals’ and tourists’ favorite, the Fat Pelican, voted one of the top 25 dive bars in the country!

If you've never been to Carolina Beach before you're in for a treat. We're a incredible family friendly beach town with pizza stores, ice cream stores, seafood eateries, and three grocery stores. You'll never have to (or want to) leave the island. During the summer there are complimentary outdoor concerts and movies, a Farmers Market on Saturdays, and Thursday nighttime fireworks, all within walking distance. Stroll the boardwalk, head down to the Kure Beach pier, visit the NC Aquarium or take in some local Civil War history at Fort Fisher. You can find new things to do every day or of course just relax on the beach and soak up the sun. You'll be glad you came to Carolina Beach and will want to come back year after year.
