Pet friendly Leeward Cottage: Only a Few Steps to the Beach

Relax and leave all your worries behind!

Just steps to the beach and no roads to cross!
Escape the stress of making sure you have everything packed before heading off to the beach. This property is as convenient as oceanfront but without the high oceanfront prices!

Sit on the deck to watch the beautiful sunrise over the beach, then walk to Granny's Country Kitchen for a delicious hearty breakfast in the morning. Spend the day at the beach relaxing, maybe catch a wave or two, build some sandcastles with the kids, and then walk over to Ocean Grill's Tiki Bar for a few relaxing drinks. Check out the rides, arcade and the array of delicious food at the boardwark in the early evening.

On Sunday nights in summer, Carolina Lake across from the boardwalk offers free movies at the park in the summer. On the short walk up to the boardwalk & lake, head into Pops ice cream and pick up a special treat for the family. Can life get any better?

Great family gathering

Our group of 12 adults and 2 youth found Leeward more than met our needs. Large enough that we could spread out, also space for us to gather together. The short walk to the beach without having to navigate road traffic was a blessing. A rarity, the kitchen was well appointed with pots/pans and dinnerware sufficient for a larger group. Kure/Carolina has been our choice for more than 40 years, and Leeward helped continue that tradition.

Great location!

The house was located perfectly for our large group and small kids since we didn’t have to cross any roads and we’re right by the ocean! You could hear it from the deck at night and see it during the day. My only small complaint was the downstairs bed, it was hard as a rock. Still didn’t stop us from enjoying the place and having the best time!! Property manager was easy to contact and super nice and helpful. We will be back again!!

Close to everything!

We had such an easy walk to the beach or to Granny's for breakfast, ice cream shop, or a tiki bar. Or jump in the car and in a mile you can be in the center of restaurants, rides, shops. Traffic wasn't so bad and everyone is friendly. The house is roomy so everyone can spread out.

Great house but better cleaning and renovations needed!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The rooms and bathroom set up is perfect for families. However there were quite a few things that needed fixing and small renovations. Two of the bedroom doors did not shut (One completely off the hinge and had to stay open the whole time. Hooks in the bathroom were hanging or missing. These are the few things I remember. Also, I highly suggest looking into a new cleaning company. The floors were a little gross and we had to move the couch once and it was disgusting and had not been clean in forever. Those things need some work. Other than that we truly loved our stay and the closeness to the beach and town. We would stay here again! Thanks so much!

House over all good

Nice property and roomy. Could use some up grades. Pillows could have been washed, Stains on them. Pull out coach had no sheets and very uncomfortable. Cleaning crew could have done a better job, floor were still sandy and bottom door sill moves, because you can slip. Like I said, nice property close to beach and roomy for a big party just needs some upgrades.

Third year in a row staying here

Noticed some renovations had been done. It looks like some more cosmetic work still needs to be done. But the house was clean and our family group of 11 (6 adults and 5 kids) really enjoy staying at this house and asked me to book again next year. Location to beach is excellent because we don't have to cross the road. Plenty of space for us all. Kitchen well equipped. Wish there were some portable cots, so we didn't have to bring air mattress for one kid. Kids do not want to share beds. Overall we had an awesome vacation in this house.

Great location!

So nice not to have any streets to cross to get to the beach, especially with little kids! Everyone had their own bathroom, the house was clean, and the host responded quickly to any issues! Convenient laundry, nice porch with seating, and we loved having the hot/cold shower downstairs! We hope we can come back again!

Super Close to the Beach!

If you love heading to the beach and then being able to run back and forth throughout the day/night when you need to, you are literally <50 yards away with no busy streets to navigate. You can see the house from your chair on the beach! Sunrises were awesome. Yoga on the beach just steps away as well. Having a bathroom for each bedroom was great + a half bath. Note: Because the main drag through town is just on the other side (west side) of the home, those with youngsters will need to keep them close, just from a traffic standpoint. Otherwise, once you cross the street, you then have fairly quiet streets available for morning walks and the like (if not on the beach).

Great vacation home

We had another house booked, but they sold it, so we had to find another house which isn't easy for 11 people and doesn't cost us a fortune. We found this house and took a chance since there were not a lot of properties in our price range available. We all really liked this house. The little walk to the beach access was very manageable with children and all the toys they need for the sand. Kitchen and pantry were very well stocked. Large choice of puzzles and games for children. Nice surprise was the amount of chairs and toys in the beach storage closet. Next time we will not have to bring as much. Only complaint was that the front stairway and 1/2 bath had a mildew smell. Everyone said they would like to stay here next year too

About the host

Hosted by Charo Snyder

We are a professional couple with an 11 yo son and a 13 yo daughter, residing in Raleigh. We welcome you to our beach house and hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to buy a beach house that we can enjoy as well as rent out. Carolina beach is a beautiful family oriented beach, and the location of the house was too good to pass up. Who wouldn't want a house this close to the beach?
