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 owners take absolute pride in updating and maintaining this home! When purchased two years ago, the kitchen and baths were modernized, new high-end beds were purchased for the two ocean-front masters, all beds and bedspreads were replaced, and new living room furnishings was purchased and configured to allow more space for our guests. The home has been gorgeously decorated with amazing and unique octopus’ décor. In 2022, the upgrades continued by adding a handsome hand-designed outdoor Octopus’s Garden bar, the remaining king beds were replaced with high-end beds, and additional artwork was added. For 2023, we have replaced carpets and installed wood floors. 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!
The first floor has three cavernous bedrooms, A oceanfront king room with a slider out to the deck. A second king room with ocean vistas, and the third with a queen over queen-size bunk bed. There is a sizable bathroom and laundry closet with a Samsung washer/dryer.
The second floor is open and roomy to allow for huge family gatherings. It has beautiful vistas from the many side windows and the double sliders which lead to a enormous deck. The living area has two couches and a coffee table, as well as a decorative fireplace. The huge, 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 primary 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 sizable window facing the ocean! The other primary bedroom has fantastic vistas of the ocean as well as west-facing vistas of Carolina Beach, offering charming 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 BBQ. 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! We allow up to 4 cars.
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!
