Charming 3BR Cottage in Carolina Beach
"Salt Air Cottage" is a charming little cottage only a few blocks from downtown Carolina Beach and the Boardwalk. It is filled with nautical décor to enjoy your stay at the beach! After a fun filled day on the beach enjoy the quiet neighborhood setting with all the comforts of home. As you enter the heart of Carolina Beach just at the end of Harper Avenue, you will find the Celtic Creamery with delicious treats! The kitchen, dining area, and living room host an open floor plan that is perfect for your family to be together for meal preps in the fully equipped kitchen (it even has a Keurig!) or just sitting around watching TV, but the young adults may want to check out the bunk room that features a large flat screen for gaming only. The main bedroom has two Full beds, a large walk in closet and private bathroom. The additional bedroom has a Full bed and the bunk bedroom has a pyramid bed - a Twin bed over a Full bed plus a Twin trundle underneath. Both these additional bedrooms share the hall bathroom. The backyard features a charcoal grill and picnic table for afternoon cookouts; and the fenced in backyard is a nice plus for your four-legged family member. You'll also find boogie boards and a beach wagon to haul your stuff. The owner provides shampoo, body wash and conditioner in the bathrooms, and a puppy bed and bowls! Finally, they also provide HBO Max, Roku TV and Netflix. Who could ask for more? While vacationing in Carolina Beach, be sure to check out the Boardwalk area, where you will find shops, restaurants and the summer activities such as fireworks, carnival rides and live music. Watch the fishermen come in with the catch of the day at the marina or dine out with the family. Or travel a few miles south to the Ft. Fisher Historic Museum, the Civil War battleground and the NC Aquarium. Make plans for the family on Sunday night for the outdoor movie by the lake. From Mexican to Seafood to American, you have so many choices like El Cazador, Havana’s, or Pop’s Diner! A vacation in "Salt Air Cottage" will give you a lifetime of memories.

The house was great, the neighbors were very friendly, and the trip turned out wonderful. The location of the house was really convenient to everything and took you out of the hectic boardwalk area when you wanted some quiet time. I would definitely recommend this place.
Close to everything, dog friendly. Had a great time. Beds could be larger.

Great rental in a great location. Would definitely stay there again.
This was our second time staying at Salt Air Cottage and again it did not disappoint. It was just the right size for our group. The air conditioning did go out late one evening but the property manager had someone out the next day and resolved the issue. Will definitely look at staying again.

Our family loved staying here. Walked to the beach and boardwalk every day, enjoyed relaxing in the house, and exploring the nearby areas (brewery, restaurants, state park, aquarium)
Everything was great. Just didn’t have tv remotes for tv in rooms

I absolutely loved my stay. I’m an extremely pick person when it comes to picking a vacation property and this place hit every mark. My only complaint (if I had one) is that the backyard looks way bigger in the pictures. However, we didn’t spend much time in the backyard. The house was extremely larger than the pictures conveyed. It had everything we needed. I did bring my ninja foodie and used that for a lot of my cooking. However, there were lots of kitchen utensils, dishes, and platters. Everything was absolutely perfect. I can’t wait to visit next year!

Loved this house from the moment we entered. My husband and I and 3 of our children stayed here while visiting relatives. First the house was so much better in person than in the photos. Great decor, great layout, LOVE the kitchen dining living area. Also very nice spaces outside and an easy walk to restaurants and the beach. We brought our dog yet did not detect a dog smell in the house. Fenced yard for ease with your pet. My only complaint is there are only full beds. Wish there was queen in the one guest and king in the master. It did not make our stay any less enjoyable though.

The house is awesome! Love the colors and artwork!! The kitchen had every tool you’ll need, although I bought a new ice cream scoop because the one they had broke the handle away from the scoop part. The kids LOVED the X-BOX! The only problems we had was that the dishwasher was broken. With 6 people eating, dishes were really a chore. I spent almost an hour getting hair and dirt unwrapped from around the brushes. Then I washed it out so I could use it.
Four generations celebrating our patriarch’s 80th birthday.
The Salt Air Cottage was perfect for our two night stay to celebrate my father’s 80th birthday and fishing trip at Carolina Beach. The open floor plan and layout was exactly what we needed. We loved this charming craftsman style cottage, all the personal touches, nautical whimsey and artistic elements throughout the home. Because my dad has neuropathy and uses a cane and a walker, we needed a one-level rental or something with an elevator, or minimal steps or stairs. Salt Air Cottage certainly met our needs - one-level with one slight step into the home which enabled my dad to navigate throughout the home with relative ease. While Salt Air Cottage was about as perfect as could be, a handicap accessible shower would have made his experience 100% perfect, which is the only reason I give Salt Air Cottage an overall score of four stars. Otherwise, we truly loved our short stay at Salt Air Cottage and would definitely reserve again. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with four generations of my family.

Reviewer Comments:
The Salt Air Cottage worked perfectly for our family of 6 adults. The interior is very spacious and well thought out. The open plan kitchen/dining/living room allowed everyone to be part of the action in dinner prep or just lunch or snacks. The bedrooms are also spacious. We loved the outdoor shower (although the biting "no-see-ums" were ferocious). The yard is quite small but was secure for our dog, and allowed the smokers in our bunch a place to gather. The BBQ grill is old school briquette type but worked fine. There was plenty of room out front for playing outdoor games on the lawn/driveway. The location is fantastic in a quiet neighborhood but walking distance to the beach, arcade, marina, many restaurants and bars. Saw live music most nights. I would definitely recommend this property and would return. The only improvement I would make is having some area screened in to avoid the bugs (but that could have just been the time of year we were there too).

Salt Air Cottage is a beautiful and comfortable beach house with everything you need for a great vacation, or stay-cation in my experience. We rented for 8 weeks and it had all the comforts of home and was well stocked with dishes and cookware, comfortable clean furniture and nice big bathrooms. Walking distance to the beach and other attractions/restaurants on the Boardwalk, you can’t go wrong with this perfect cottage.

After traveling it was a little disappointing to have to make the beds. We had to vacuum to get the sad from the floors from the previous renters. It is not a 3 bedroom residence but a 2 bedroom and game room for a gamer with a very uncomfortable bed and mattress for an adult. Bryant Real Estate was very pleasant to work with. I would recommend to a friend, telling them the above first.
I was able to rent this fabulous house within a few weeks of our plans to stay there. The house was beautiful with a fully equipped kitchen. We were able to walk most everywhere! The neighborhood was friendly and safe...quiet in the evenings. Furniture comfortable. Definitely would tent here again.
