CN1712: Margaritaville

This quaint 2 bedroom beach house was very clean and comfortable. It is oceanfront and I truly mean you are on the ocean. The view was great and loved the 2 new high beach chairs that are there now. The kitchen was nicely supplied and all appliances were clean. The TV was nice and they had ROKU, so we could watch programs with no problem. The beds were comfortable as they had gel foam toppers on them. Thank you for having the toppers. Sheets and towels were supplied. We did not take a pet. You are only 2 small houses away from the Carolina Beach pier, which sadly is still in need of repair from the previous storms, and I sure is a top priority to be taken care of soon. You can access the pier for about the first 50 or 60 feet, but then it is barricaded to ensure safety. On the pier is the Tiki Bar restaurant which I ordered hamburger and chips. The hamburger was awesome and the patty outsized the bun almost 3x over. It was gigantic and very tasty. My husband got the BLT and the bacon was stacked high on a large slice of bread, again it was a huge sandwich and the bacon delicious!!! We were glad we were at the end of island as there was very little traffic. We walked the Carolina Beach Boardwalk. Most of that area was closed as we visited in February, but you can tell lots of building and sprucing up was going on getting ready for the Spring Break and Summer months. From January to March 1 parking is free. HOWEVER, beginning March 1 there is a charge for parking your car anywhere on the street and the parking is limited, walking is encouraged. A few restaurants have a small parking lot. We ate at the Kates Pancakes, Gulfstream, The Mexican Restaurant, Bowman Restaurant and the Tiki Bar (which I mentioned earlier). All very good & would recommend. Do travel down to Fort Fisher and go out on the HUGE beach there and also tour the NC Aquarium, it is very nice. (Be prepared to pay for parking.) In the Summer it is $5.00/hr or you can park all day for $25.00. If you do not pay and you get ticketed, your first ticket is $75.00, your second ticket goes up to $100, I think. Ticketing is aggressive as I understand. We enjoyed our week at Margaritaville. It met all our needs.

Can not beat the view! Sitting out on the deck was perfect!

Right on the beach with great views! Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. Highly recommended.

Everything you need is there,will be coming back with whole family
