Description Description
Reasons to love The Salty Cardinal:

*Private coastal oasis

*Close to downtown Carolina Beach

*Poolside relaxation and easy island exploring

Welcome to The Salty Cardinal, a relaxing island retreat tucked away in a quiet, private part of Carolina Beach while still being just moments from all the excitement of downtown. Offering the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to the island’s best attractions, this charming coastal escape invites guests to experience Carolina Beach at their own pace.

Located on Raleigh Avenue, this home places you close to everything that makes Pleasure Island special. Take a quick ride to the Carolina Beach Boardwalk for local dining, shopping, live entertainment, and oceanfront fun, or venture south toward Kure Beach for scenic shoreline views and the historic pier. Outdoor enthusiasts will also love the nearby trails and natural beauty of Carolina Beach State Park, making it easy to enjoy both adventure and relaxation during your stay.

Getting around is part of the fun at The Salty Cardinal, with the added convenience of a golf cart, bikes, and e-bikes that make exploring the island effortless. Cruise to the beach, head downtown for dinner, or spend the day discovering local favorites without ever needing to venture far.

Back at the home, the beautifully landscaped backyard creates a private oasis designed for unwinding. The inviting pool, comfortable lounge chairs, and thoughtfully designed outdoor space offer the perfect setting for lazy afternoons in the sun, refreshing swims, and peaceful evenings under the coastal sky.

Inside, guests will find welcoming spaces designed for comfort and connection, creating an easy flow for gathering, relaxing, and settling into vacation mode. Whether you're enjoying the quiet surroundings, heading out for island adventures, or spending the day poolside, The Salty Cardinal offers a memorable Carolina Beach getaway where comfort, convenience, and coastal charm come together.

We loved our stay and are even debating making this our yearly beach house! The space was incredibly clean, and the communication was excellent.
