Description
Gorgeous, highly successful turn key property in the heart of beautiful Carolina Beach, NC – a year round vacation destination. Shortly after the soft opening in February, 2023, this property – known as ”Sweet Caroline” – became a short term rental ”Guest Favorite” with over 115 five star reviews.Surrounded by beautiful palm trees, this two bedroom/two full bath home is located in a quiet, well-maintained neighborhood approximately 4 blocks to the beach – within walking distance to restaurants, shops, the boardwalk, and the ocean. The private driveway can accommodate two cars and/or a vehicle and a boat and ample street parking in front of the residence. The spacious backyard is fenced and contains a brightly colored storage shed and an outdoor deck/patio area with a retractable awning. The outdoor shower update will be completed prior to showings.The roof was replaced within the last five years and the flooring has been updated. All appliances have been upgraded since 2022. The kitchen has a walk-in pantry. All systems, including the central A/C, are in excellent working order. Owners installed two stackable washer/dryer sets for faster guest turnarounds and the ability to provide earlier check-ins.This tastefully decorated home will be sold furnished with some minor exclusions. It is fully stocked with dishware, utensils, linens, towels, etc. The mattresses are top quality and frequently complimented by guests. The two E-bikes and four regular bicycles will transfer with the house, as will the beach chairs and beach buggy rolling cart. The current golf cart – a guest favorite – does not convey for sentimental reasons but there is another golf cart for separate purchase should a buyer wish to continue to offer this amenity.Sweet Caroline has a high occupancy rate and having now been on the vacation market for two years, is welcoming numerous repeat guests.
