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 refreshed 1940s beach bungalow, with all the charms of the 1940s and the amenities of 2025! 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 sizable bedrooms with giant closets and 2 completely remodeled bathrooms. The open floor plan offers a sizable entirely 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 modernized 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 enormous closets. The second bedroom also has a king-size bed and huge 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 completely-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.

Appreciate the broad deck while you BBQ with family and friends. The outdoor table lets you savor your food and drink while you appreciate 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 simple 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 incredible 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.

How to find the best vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Updated beach cottage, ocean views. Tons of Outdoor Space! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If not, email the property owner before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you simply love, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• 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 an excellent source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. 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 family have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
