Octopus’s Garden is an refreshed three-floor duplex with 5 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths and an elevator. Two of the bedrooms are direct ocean front, but the other rooms all have ocean vistas through the 20 plus windows! Guests have a view all the way down Carolina Beach and can effortlessly see Wrightsville from the oceanfront decks. The home has been charmingly decorated with outstanding and unique octopus’ décor throughout.
The owners take absolute pride in updating and maintaining the home. Over the last few years, the kitchen and baths were modernized, high-end beds were purchased for all bedrooms, all beds and bedspreads were replaced, and carpets were replaced with wood floors. Our outdoor space was also upgraded by adding a impressive hand-designed outdoor Octopus’s Garden bar and shell garden. For 2024, we replaced the dishwasher and couches and continued to update the artwork. We also added a new table for more books, games and puzzles and continued to entirely stock the pantry with outdoor plates, bowls, cups, wine glasses and kids cups. If you’ve stayed at Octopus’s Garden in the past, hopefully you’ve appreciated the yearly updates. If you’ve never stayed at Octopus’s Garden, you are in for a treat! Now onto the home description!
The first floor has three roomy bedrooms – one oceanfront king room with a slider out to the deck, the second king with ocean vistas and the third with a unique queen over queen bunkbed. There is a sizable bathroom and laundry closet with a Samsung washer/dryer.

The second floor is open and cavernous to allow for huge family gatherings. It has elegant vistas from the many side windows and the double sliders which lead to a sizable deck. The living area has two couches and a coffee table as well as a decorative fireplace. The enormous, updated kitchen (including a drink refrigerator that holds 140 cans!) is completely equipped with plates, bowls, glasses, pasta bowls, serving platters, mixing bowls, baking pans, a blender, toaster, BBQ kit, Cuisinart coffee center, crockpot, and a buffet warming tray. The two kitchen islands comfortably seat 6 people and the dining room table seats 8.

The third floor has two master suites with king beds and oceanfront/vistas. The oceanfront bedroom has sliders out to the deck with two chairs and a chaise lounge and an attached bathroom with a hottub tub and a huge window facing the ocean! The other master has amazing vistas of the ocean as well as west-facing vistas of Carolina Beach, offering handsome sunset colors. The bathroom has been completely updated with subway tiles, a tile floor and vanity
If you need more outdoor space beyond the large decks, then the covered bar/grilling area is waiting for you! Savor some beverages at the hand-designed Octopus’s Garden bar with outdoor lighting or hang out on the brick patio with Adirondack chairs and a gas barbeque. There is also a toy chest filled with kids’ buckets and shovels, an outside shower, and direct beach access from the private walkway. The unit also includes beach chairs and towels for 12 as well as coolers and bocce! Up-to-four cars can be accommodated

Once you park your car, you can leave it there as the duplex sits on a one-way street that is more like a pedestrian walkway, and convenient to nearly anything in town! It's an painless walk to the Carolina Beach boardwalk to the North and the Tiki Bar to the South, as well as Carolina Beach Lake, the Greenway, Veggie Wagon, Britts Donuts, eateries, 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 magnificent family friendly beach town with pizza stores, ice cream stores, seafood eateries, and three grocery stores. You'll never have to (or want to) leave the island!

You’ll like to be in an Octopus’s Garden!

Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Get the most from your rental budget:

  • Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
  • Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

  • Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a budget.
  • Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Oceanfront updated 5 bedroom duplex with elevator and private beach access. has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
  • Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
  • Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

During your stay:

  • Add the property manager's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many concerns.
  • Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
  • Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
  • Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
  • Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
