Great family stay!

We like to travel light for our yearly family beach vacations, so where we stay is important. The round house has everything you could need. They have a great selection of cooking supplies, games, beach equipment, beach carts, coolers etc. The house was extremely comfortable and clean. Great house for a small family stay. The host was also amazing. They were very responsive and friendly, My husband mentioned that he wanted to fish and John came by and dropped off some live bait. We will definitely be coming back.

Family Time

This house was incredibly cozy, clean, comfortable and conveniently located by the beach. John and his wife Julie do an amazing job of making their guests feel at home. My wife and I had not seen 2 of our 3 boys since Christmas. 1 is stationed in Phoenix and the other in Fayetville, NC. So, we decided to head down to NC to see our youngest and we flew our other son in from Phoenix as a surprise for his younger brother. The round house was just what we needed as a family. I can’t say enough about how great John and his wife were as hosts. Great people, great house, great vacation. Thanks John and Julie for allowing our family to create a memory that will be shared within our family for years to come. H I’lle to see you around soon. The Calautti family

Great visit at the round house

Staying here was a great choice for myself and my young kiddos. The property was equipped with everything we needed to make packing for the beach much easier. It was also immaculately clean. The downstairs just became a rental as well but the soundproofing must have been great because we never heard a peep downstairs either!

Great last minute family getaway!

We booked our stay the day before we checked in and John and Julie made everything such a smooth process for us. This was our first family vacation with both our toddler and 2 month old baby. We only have one pack-n-play and John set an extra one up for us so we would have a second for our baby to sleep in! The house was so clean and well taken care of and they had everything we needed readily available. And if there was something we were missing, John made sure to let us know that he was here if he could bring us anything! These hosts really know how to take care of their guests and we look forward to our next stay!!

Just Perfect!

We had to cancel trip to St. Augistine due to bad weather and found the round house and decided on a last minute trip to Carolina Beach instead. It was just perfect! Had everything we needed. Loved hanging on the sectional with my kids watching netflix at night!!! Had everything we needed and only a short walk to the beach. Enjoyed roasting marshmallows over the fire pit! Will definitely stay here again!

The "Sea ya Round" house is a great get away located in Carolina Beach. It's just a short walk to the beach and has a couple of great restaurants within walking distance. The home has everything you need, the communication from the owners was fantastic, and it was an excellent vacation spot.

A cozy favorite.

My family had an amazing stay. We called it home on day one. It was clean when we arrived. The kids were excited that it was such a unique place to stay, and there were plenty of toys for the ocean. I was excited that it had everything we needed for a week stay. We chatted shortly with the owner when he came to water parts of the grass and take care of recycling. He was very welcoming, and informative on upcoming events that would be fun for our family. It is a very short walk to the ocean, so we didn’t have to worry about parking. And it is a very easy drive to the busy part of Carolina Beach, so we didn’t get lost. Me and my family can’t wait to book here next year.

The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and happy. My family had the most wonderful vacation staying at the round house! It was a quick, easy walk to the beach, even with 3 kids (8, 7, and 2 years old) and a ton of “gear!” The community was very calm and quiet with easy access to the grocery store, restaurants, and the boardwalk. There was plenty to do near by on the days we couldn’t stay at the beach all day! Thank you so much, John and Julie!!!!

New! Fresh and clean feeling house. Much larger than excepted. 3 min walk to public beach across. Large windows with a dreamy, sunset view in the kitchen. Kitchen stocked + a bottle of champagne/asti supmante waiting for us upon arrival. Kitchen dishes were beach themed & I used ALL the cute platters for entertaining family. Stove was spotless, shower spotless & large, plenty of towels & toiletries, and closet space. Large living room with extra seating. Porch and yard bigger than expected & was a perfect place to read. We played Carolina Beach Monopoly at the dining table too. Wondering home and wonderful host. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by John and Julie

Host profile image
We came to the area to live over 35+ years ago. I am from Winston-Salem, NC and my wife from Fishers, Indiana. It only took one trip here to fall in love with this area. As a career firefighter and a schoolteacher, we made Carolina Beach our hometown and raised our, now grown, children here. We decided to take our beach house and share its unique architectural style. You too can experience what it's like to live in a Round House at the Beach!

Why they chose this property

This home was built in the early 80’s on the Oceanfront between Carolina and Kure Beach. It was scheduled for demolition but we rescued it. We moved it and set it up at its new location nearly 18 years ago. Read all about it's history in our house manual during your stay! It's pretty cool!

What makes this property unique

This house is “ROUND”! Well, almost! It’s a 13-sided tridecagon to be exact. Each exterior wall section measures about 8 feet. The circumference is about 104 feet so each of the two units the comes in at about 900 sq. ft.. This upstairs unit is quite charming and beachy! The interior trim-work and kitchen bar top are all custom-made with a driftwood color theme. There's very few 90° corners inside. The large front deck is great for enjoying late summer nights in the salt air breeze. We are located in close proximity to the ocean…just listen and you'll hear the sound of the relentless waves caressing the beach. You can take stroll to the beach in about 5 minutes at a leisurely pace. During the summer on Thursday nights around 9PM you can watch the Boardwalk Fireworks from the beach access at the end of our street...it's quite a show!
