If you are longing to be on the beautiful south end of Kure Beach, but don’t want to get into the crowds of a condominium complex, consider our adorable family cottage retreat, Sea La Vie, for your family! Our quiet little cul de sac in the trees will make you feel like you are in a cocoon, yet position you only steps across the road to the beach access.  Relax and enjoy more privacy and freedom:  golf carts are no problem, and boats and trailers are allowed! Our cottage features a lovely outdoor space that begins in the one-car garage under the house, with a finished epoxy floor.  A fisherman’s half bath is available for kids with sandy feet. A partially covered wrap-around patio leads you to the private outdoor hot water shower.  Comfortable outdoor seating, a picnic table, a propane grill, and a partially fenced yard will allow you generous outdoor space to gather in wet swimming suits while you have a cold beverage, shuck oysters, and grill hot dogs. 

Upstairs, a wrap-around porch has views of the ocean, outdoor seating, and two entrances for indoor and outdoor living. Our family great room has a fully remodeled kitchen with a huge workstation, quartz countertops, and all the small appliances, dishes, and utensils you need for creating any large meal.  Three Queen Bedrooms and a carpeted children’s playroom with a pull-out sofa make plenty of space for the entire family.

Things to do:

Adventure awaits. Discover aquatic wildlife and vegetation at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher or enjoy a relaxing ferry ride across the Cape Fear River to a quaint little shopping town called Southport. Take a trip back in time at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Museum which features live oak-covered trails and bunkers from the American Civil War. Stroll through the marsh to visit the home of the famous Ft. Fisher Hermit. Or wind down with nature at our two state parks, sure to provide a memorable experience with hiking, fishing, and water activities such as paddle boarding and kayaking, and search for a Venus Flytrap which is native to NC only. As one of North Carolina's most undeveloped beaches, the island offers a unique opportunity to see many diverse coastal wildlife, including pelicans and loggerhead sea turtles, in their natural habitat. Whether it’s exploring activities on the island, enjoying the ocean views, or enjoying a cocktail by sunset from your own private balcony, Pleasure Island offers diversion for every enthusiast!

Explore the treasures of Carolina Beach, ranked one of the top 10 boardwalks in the country by Food & Wine magazine. One of the last remaining beach boardwalks on the East Coast, it includes a variety of restaurants, an arcade, shops, ice cream, Famous Britts Donuts, bars, and more! During the summer months, the Boardwalk is bustling with the sound of music, carnival rides, bingo, family nights, and events like the weekly fireworks and concert series. Annual off-season events include the Cape Fear Kite Festival, Christmas by the Sea, and the Island of Lights Festival.

We look forward to you visiting us!
