The Silvery Moon: 1940s Beach Cottage – Steps away from the ocean!

***If you plan on bringing a dog, please let us know. We charge a $175. Non-returnable dog fee.***

Welcome to The Silvery Moon – a modernized 1940s beach bungalow, with all the charms of the 1940s and the amenities of 2024! We are a dog friendly property and allow up to two well-behaved dogs. The backyard is fenced in for them too! We provide crates (two 36"; two 24", and one 42" located in the carport storage closet), dog bowls, towels, and a shammy towel for when your pup goes for a swim!

The bungalow sleeps 6 and has 2 enormous bedrooms with giant closets and 2 completely refreshed bathrooms. The open floor plan offers a sizable completely supplied kitchen with tons of cabinets, and a family room that spills into the enclosed porch. With tons of windows, there are multiple with ocean vistas! The beds, beds, L-shaped couch and chairs are all new. The bungalow has been remodeled and decorated to feel like you are back in the 1940s, with shiplap throughout and framed art with forties flare!

The primary bedroom has a king-size bed and private bathroom, plus two huge closets. The second bedroom also has a king-size bed and sizable closet. Both bedrooms have dressers, bamboo hard-wood floors and mounted 42” TVs. The main living area has a full bathroom, including a tub, a huge entirely-supplied kitchen area, a big island with 3 chairs, a large couch and chair, and a 58” TV. The enclosed porch has a queen-size pull-out couch, a privacy screen, numerous chairs and a reading nook that overlooks the ocean.

Savor the broad deck while you BBQ with family and friends. The outdoor table lets you appreciate your food and drink while you savor the sea breezes! The bungalow comes with 6 beach chairs, a BBQ, pillows, sheets, towels, including beach towels, has an outdoor shower, and parking for 4 cars.

Once you park your car, you can leave it there, as the bungalow sits on a one-way street that is more like a pedestrian walkway and convenient to nearly anything in town! It's an painless walk to the Carolina Beach boardwalk to the North, and the Ocean Grille & Tiki Bar to the South. Other attractions within walking distance are Carolina Beach Lake, the Greenway, Veggie Wagon, Britts Donuts, eateries, and bars, including locals’ and tourists’ favorite, the Fat Pelican, voted one of the top 25 dive bars in the country!

If you've never been to Carolina Beach before, you're in for a treat! We're a marvelous family friendly beach town with pizza stores, ice cream stores, seafood eateries, and three grocery stores. You'll never have to (or want to) leave the island. During the summer there are complimentary outdoor concerts and movies, a weekly Farmers Market, and Thursday nighttime fireworks- all within walking distance. Stroll the boardwalk, head down to the Kure Beach pier, visit the NC Aquarium or take in some local Civil War history at Fort Fisher. You can find new things to do every day or, of course, just relax on the beach and soak up the sun. You'll be glad you came to Carolina Beach and will want to come back year after year.

Our top Carolina Beach rental home tips:

Find your perfect rental home:

• In the Southport area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best value, consider changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Updated beach cottage, ocean views. Tons of Outdoor Space! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your group.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a specific Southport attraction you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
