Property Description
Profitable short term rental/ AIR BNB that stays rented!! Nestled in the heart of Sunset Park , this completely renovated tiny cottage was once one of two original fishing cottages in Carolina Beach --Now used as short term rental. A piece of coastal history refreshed for modern living. Exterior: a charming cottage look updated with a new roof and fresh paint, sitting on brand-new piers with new floor joists for solid, elevated construction. A generous, level yard surrounds the home, creating a private oasis with a dedicated firepit area -- perfect for evening gatherings and marshmallow-toasting under coastal skies. Interior: light, airy rooms with durable, wood-look LVP flooring throughout that complements the cottage's coastal character. New windows flood the space with natural light. The full plumbing system has been replaced, and fixtures are modern and efficient. Layout is compact but well-planned: an inviting living area, efficient kitchen with updated finishes, cozy sleeping nook, and a refreshed bathroom -- all thoughtfully renovated while honoring the cottage's original charm. This cottage blends authentic coastal heritage with turnkey modern updates, offering a rare small-footprint home with big outdoor space in a prime location.
