717 Canal Dr, Carolina Beach, NC 28428

As you pull up to "The Sailor's Lodge", you are immediately greeted by the home with some salty beach breezes and pelicans flying in synchrony overhead! Two vehicles of relatively ANY size can park under each half of the carport. The possibility of bringing a small trailer is also possible, space permitting! The highlight of booking this throw-back bungalow becomes evident in short order as you walk East along the cinder block and crushed marble path running down the left or right side of the home. An artificial turf yard comes into view with seating for 4, a Cape Fear River front swing, and memories for ALL! If a riverside conversation with dunes of feather grass rustling faintly nearby doesn't help everyone clear one's respective salty air and whisk those cobwebs away, I don't know what will! Then again, maybe REST isn't what you need! It's EXERCISE! How about some kayaking or paddle-boarding off your private riverfront deck or a morning dip in the Atlantic up the block! With an ICWW coastline as your backdrop and thew SEA a block up as your "front yard", you can enjoy ANY NUMBER of outdoor activities in your SANDBOX! The first floor of the lodge is equipped with a Game Room complete with a foosball table, Smart TV, beanbag chair, half bath (bathroom #1), and PLENTY of storage for action and adventure!

Your 3 bedroom/1 bath CB get-a-way opens into a newly furnished family room splashed with vivid beachy colors, combined with an open dining area and modern kitchen. Panoramic ICWW views are visible from the west side of the home through a number of slides, decks, and windows. The modern chef's kitchen is fully equipped with all of the basics, and beyond. Stainless steel, custom tile work, granite amenities, and vintage furnishings of all shapes, sizes, and styles will catch your attention as you traverse deeper into your sandcastle. The living room boasts a pair of vintage blue lounge chairs along with a tan microfiber couch and loveseat set that's perfect to sink deep into after a full day of Sand, Surf, and Sun. A small library resides across various shelving units throughout the home if looking for a long overdue tech detox where you can immerse yourself a bit deeper into the vitamin SEA that our coastal paradise affords! Off to the Southside of the home, all 3 bedrooms respectively await with anticipation! On your immediate left rests the laundry area for when it's time to do a load of those Hawaiian shirts you've been waiting ALL YEAR to use along with the Full bathroom (bathroom #2 with a shower+tub combo)!
