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-refundable dog fee.***

Welcome to The Silvery Moon – a renovated 1940s beach cottage, 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 cottage sleeps 6 and has 2 large bedrooms with huge closets and 2 completely renovated bathrooms. The open floor plan offers a large fully stocked kitchen with tons of cabinets, and a family room that spills into the enclosed porch. With lots of windows, there are several with ocean views! The beds, mattresses, L-shaped couch and chairs are all new. The cottage has been renovated 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 large closets. The second bedroom also has a king-size bed and large 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 large fully-stocked 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, several chairs and a reading nook that overlooks the ocean.

Enjoy the expansive deck while you BBQ with family and friends. The outdoor table lets you enjoy your food and drink while you enjoy the sea breezes! The cottage 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 cottage sits on a one-way street that is more like a pedestrian walkway and convenient to almost anything in town! It's an easy walk to the Carolina Beach boardwalk to the North, and the Ocean Grill & Tiki Bar to the South. Other attractions within walking distance are Carolina Beach Lake, the Greenway, Veggie Wagon, Britts Donuts, restaurants, 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 wonderful family friendly beach town with pizza shops, ice cream shops, seafood restaurants, and three grocery stores. You'll never have to (or want to) leave the island. During the summer there are free outdoor concerts and movies, a weekly Farmers Market, and Thursday night 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.

July 2022 Stay
Our family stayed here for a week and the house was perfect for us. It is decorated so nicely and has everything you need. The location makes it a quick walk to everything including the beach. We highly recommend Silvery Moon and hope to come back!

Fun at the Beach
Great place to stay to enjoy the Carolina Beach experience. The property was amazing, very clean and organized. All you needed for a great vacation was waiting for you; chairs for the beach, toys for the kids, games, etc. location was perfect, close to two beach access points, downtown Carolina Beach, and walking distance to many activities. I plan on vacationing there again in the future.

Great place, great location!
Really loved Silvery Moon. House was spacious, in great condition, and ideally located. Two public beach access points are very close and the boardwalk and town area of Carolina Beach is easily walkable. Lots of conveniences in the house including an outdoor shower (nice for getting rid of sand before entering), and ample storage space for storing bodyboards, beach chairs, etc.

The Silvery Moon / a slice of heaven
Wonderfully decorated with everything you could need. Extremely clean and well stocked. We have stayed at many homes large and small throughout the Carolina Beach area and will definitely come back to this home again. You are able to walk to most everything local to Carolina Beach including the boardwalk. Don't miss out on this hidden gem!!

Beach Trip
I booked our stay at Silver Moon for the first time, and the cottage was just perfect. This really is a gem. The home is spotless and so cozy and comfortable. My little ones settled right in. The location is literally steps away from the beach and also right across from Veggie Wagon. We walked to Ocean Grille for our first night. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and super responsive. I arrived with the little ones before my husband could join us later that night, and I felt very safe in this home. We would absolutely love to come back and stay here again.

Beautiful home
The house was exactly as pictured, and absolutely perfect! The fenced yard made life so much easier with the dogs, and the crates helped minimize stuff we needed to haul with us. There was plenty of room, and the “porch room” and outdoor spaces were our favorite. Veggie Wagon and Butts and Such had great food and were easy to walk to. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks for sharing this lovely home!

Absolutely Amazing! Pictures don't do this place justice!
We we absolutely wowed over when we stayed here for the 1st part of our vacation. It is super close to the beach entry, and even have beach views from the top deck area! This was our first time to the coastal region, and we will absolutely be back! To our surprise they also had beach chairs, toys for the kids, and a beach cart to help transport your items. Everything was clean, and in proper working order. 10 out of 10 is our families vote!

It was super clean and super stocked with everything you and your family would need for the beach! I could not believe everything that was provided in the kitchen nor, all the chairs, sand toys,and cooler for the beach! The location was also excellent and we found ourselves walking to the boardwalk, the veggie wagon, and other various restaurants. The beach is also across the street and so easy to get to. We would definitely stay in an A1 property again if they are all like this one!

Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Silvery Moon was wonderful! Easy to check in and out with programmed entry locks. No keys to worry about! Silvery Moon was spotless and very well appointed. We’ve stayed at several other rentals in Carolina Beach — this one was the best! A two minute walk to the beach with provided beach chairs. Decor was very well done and cozy. One small maintenance issue that we had was dealt with promptly! Would not hesitate to stay here again. An easy walk to the boardwalk was welcomed as well.

Charming little beach house
My family of 3 had a wonderful time at the Silver Moon. I really loved the vintage decor and modern touches. The house was immaculate and conveniently located to the beach and boardwalk attractions. We really appreciated the storage room packed with beach gear and toys provided. Having all the gear readily available was convenient so we didn't have to pack our own. I would not hesitate to book again. We had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I spent a week at Silvery Moon in late August. From start to finish we enjoyed every moment spent at Silvery Moon and Carolina Beach. We vacation to the beach this same week every summer but never have we been as impressed with a rental. They thought of everything! From beach gear to games, beach towels to designated work space, we couldn't have asked for anything else. I loved that there were cleaning supplies including a broom and dust pan. The linens were high quality and in excellent condition and the home was clean!! I would (and have) recommended this home to several people and would love to return year after year (the ONLY reason I might not is that it isn't pet friendly and we have one dog that goes everywhere with me.) We love Carolina Beach because it's such a family friendly, casual beach. And Silvery Moon is the perfect place to stay.

Simply Perfect!!! 🌊 🌞
My husband and I stayed here with our three girls, ages in ranges from 7 to 12! This house was absolutely perfect! All the high-end finishes and touches of turquoise/blue made it feel so beachy! We also loved all the ship-lap throughout the main living area and bathrooms! We loved that it had an additional full master suite and an outdoor shower!! It is in an ideal location.....very close to the beach access with a ramp, for all the beach supplies. It was walkable to the boardwalk and the little nearby shops! Definitely check out the Veggie Wagon located behind the house. Our girls got to customize their own ice cream sandwiches, after filling out their little paper slip. Their Lavender Lemonade was amazing too! We ate at many places but the Ocean Bar and Tiki Grill was a great experience. We ate out on the pier, which was awesome! It is a close drive to Kure Fishing Pier, Fort Fisher and the NC Aquarium! We made so many memories in Carolina Beach this summer! We will definitely be back!!! There was just too much to do in one week! 😊

Beautiful, Clean Cottage with PERFECT location
I can’t say enough good about this property. We have been visiting Carolina Beach for years and The Silvery Moon is easily one of my favorite properties we stayed. The house is bigger than it seems with adorable design aesthetic (lots of cute nods to the cottage’s 1940 construction year). The house is thoughtfully appointed with a kitchen fit for a chef, spacious rooms and bathrooms, and outdoor living space (the outdoor tiki bar was perfect for afternoon cocktails after a morning at the beach with tired kiddos). The cottage is extremely well maintained and VERY clean! The location of this cottage can’t be beat: steps from the beach (perfect for transporting kid stuff to the beach), across the street from the lake, 10 min walk to the boardwalk (we walked with our 3 and 5 year old daily), easy walks or short drives to the best cuisine on the island, and minutes from Kure Beach. All this being said, the cottage is tucked away on a one way street and very quiet and family friendly. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Week of the June 2022 full moon at the Silvery Moon
This is a gem of a property: Charming, whimsical and welcoming in decor, furnishing, appointments and appliances. The beds were very comfortable and the WIFI and office area in the master suite was a super-nice feature. I did not miss an ocean deck or ocean overlook. The sunset-facing tiki bar was perfect for viewing the lightning shows at night. I loved this place. -Steve
