Lakefront home with water access, canoes & screened porch - walk to the beach

Carefree

Make your escape to Sandbridge cool and carefree at this lakefront home a short walk from the beach. This house even offers a feature not often found in Sandbridge - a tranquil lake where you can fish and observe abundant local wildlife.

Carefree has two levels of living space and five roomy bedrooms, all of which include wall-mounted flatscreen TVs and custom closets. Three of the bedrooms have their own private bathrooms as well.

Make yourself at home upstairs, where you'll find a living room with great lake views, a large-screen TV, and access to the dining area and kitchen. The dining table is big enough for memorable family dinners, with additional seating for four at the kitchen counter. Whip up some cocktails in the margarita machine and sit outside on the screened-in porch (screened even on the bottom to prevent any unwanted guests!). This lovely space features a flatscreen TV, ceiling fans, and a foosball table for your evening entertainment.

There are three bedrooms on the upper floor, including a primary suite with a private bathroom, and a newly renovated full hallway bathroom. A spiral staircase (with a locking gate for the kids) leads to the lower floor, where you'll find two more bedrooms with private bathrooms.

Plenty of shady areas can be found under the house, which boasts comfortable seating, two outdoor showers (with hot and cold water), two single swings, and a double-seated swing. Play a game of volleyball in the yard, sit by the lake and drop a line in, or take one of the two provided canoes out for a paddle. Watch sliders basking in the sun, osprey soaring overhead, and blue heron catching a meal right off the lake’s edge. Enjoy the hammock by the lake with a good book or watch nature.

Additional amenities include a gas grill, an elevator (available by request only for guests in need and with prior approval), and ample parking for your vehicles and bikes. You'll be just a short stroll from the most private part of Sandbridge Beach - if you love surfing, this is a great beach break and a local secret!

Perfect!
This was our favorite vacation home! Location was perfect with the water way behind the house for lots of fishing and canoeing and the beach a few blocks away! The yard was perfect for yard games. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. The layout of the house was nice as well! We did not want to leave!

Great property but issues with hot water.
Great property. Plenty of room, access to lake and the beach were great. Plenty to do. Our only issue was the lack of hot water (tepid at best) in the kitchen. Hot water was sporadic and inconsistent in all other locations. A plumber assessed the issue 3 times during our week long trip.

Carefree review
We have rented Carefree for two years in a row. And, we hope to rent it again next year. The house is an easy 3 block walk to the beach. However, the back yard backs up to a lake and the family has also really enjoyed the kayaking, canoeing, and fishing there.

Family weekend
The house is cute and comfy. On arrival I noticed the house was not that clean. I could tell what the last family ate (chip bag under the corner of couch and piece of a danamal yogurt wrapper on the rug). Each room downstairs had hair and dust bunnies all over the floor. I went to use the Dyson vacuum but it was completely clogged. I sweep throughout the entire house. (I took pics) The master bedroom had some food residue and something sticky on the night stand. My husband and I decided to do a general cleaning of the house before my family from DC arrived. We left the house for a few hours and upon return noticed several lights were out (master bedroom, dining room and one outside light). After resetting the breaker, I called the after-hours maintenance number. After reporting the lights my husband and I tried the breaker several times. It finally worked after 3 resets. I called and let them know it came back on. Once we got over a few starting issues my family (6 adults, 5 children) had a great time. The view to the lake is breathtaking. The weather was cool and perfect for sitting on the screened in porch with a cup of coffee. It's an older house and the hot water was not too great but perfect for simple family fun. The house has toys and board games for all ages. Also a close walk to the beach.

Wonderful Family Beach House!
We had everything we needed for our family to enjoy our stay! The kitchen was well appointed, the family room was spacious, the beach was walking distance away, and the outdoor swings and basketball goal were a big hit! We would stay here again. Thanks!

Nice space for multi family gatherings
Good size rooms, and open spaces for gathering. Comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. Water feature in backyard provided fishing and boating opportunities. Close enough to beach.

Beautiful setting.
This home was a great size and suited our two families quite well. We enjoyed birdwatching on the lake and dolphin watching from the beach! We did have a problem with a loose faucet. A plumber was sent over promptly and the problem fixed.

Perfect
We came down for a friend's wedding. This was the perfect house and location. With the lake in the back and a short walk to the beach. With more than enough space for everyone. The screened in porch and the swings underneath is where we all stayed most of the time, even with the rain we had. We will definitely be back

Carefree is not only a five minute walk from the beach but also right on a neat fresh water lake. It was spacious and well maintained.

Perfect vacation
We stayed at Carefree in May 2022 and it was wonderful! The first thing we noticed was how much cleaner this home was compared to other rentals we've stayed in. It has a convenient floorplan for families with children too since the lower level is separated by a gated off staircase. We enjoyed fishing and canoeing in the lake the property backs to on days we didn't feel like taking our baby down to the beach. The 4 minute walk to the beach made it easy to get in plenty of beach time too! Thanks for having us!
