Come visit "Carolyn by the Sea", a pristine, dog-friendly island home powered
by 100% green energy.
COMING SOON in Spring 2025, we are converting the garage into an adult
gameroom that will include a free-standing bar, ping pong table, foosball,
darts, and high-top table for four.
This stunning 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2-living room, resort-style home with a
private pool comfortably sleeps 6-8 people with 4 Queen or King beds and has
ample private parking for up to 4 cars.
"Carolyn by the Sea" has been meticulously remodeled and decorated and
features custom art, hand-painted surfboards, and mosaics throughout the
house. Roomy and comfortable, the upstairs features an open floor plan with
vaulted ceilings and large ceiling fans. Want adults in one living room and
the kids in another? That's possible with two separate living areas; one
upstairs and one downstairs, giving everyone ample room to enjoy different
venues, games, and activities. Each living area has comfortable large couches
and recliners for your group, along with large TVs equipped with Rokus and
Spectrum Cable TV. Bring your Nintendo Switch and game on with the wall-
mounted docks hooked up to the TVs. (You need to bring your own Switch). The
downstairs area even has its own mini fridge and bar area. Dance, sing, or
simply enjoy listening to your favorite tunes in the upstairs living room,
backyard, front porch, and master bedroom with a Bluetooth-enabled sound
system.
You might decide to take a break from eating at all the wonderful restaurants
on the island and decide to eat-in on some nights. This kitchen is such a joy
to cook in, gorgeous and functional. Not only is it fully stocked with all the
basics - pots, pans, utensils, microwave, dishwasher, and stainless steel
appliances, you'll also find wonderful extras such as an InstaPot, Vitamix
blender, air fryer and Keurig coffee machine. The lovely quartz countertops
and large island are beautifully framed by brilliant teal blue glass tiles.
The dining area features a custom-made table with comfortable seating for 6
with two additional spots at the kitchen bar counter. Gorgeous!
Outdoors you'll find a private oasis filled with palms and a private heated
pool surrounded by a stamped concrete patio. Sit back and relax on the new
high-end Berlin Garden lounge chairs or cozy up by the propane fire pit. While
grilling, enjoy playing Cornhole along the back of the house or play fetch
with your pup. This poolside outdoor dining area is just waiting for you to
enjoy a meal prepared on the propane grill. Sip a cocktail or enjoy a meal as
you watch the sunsets and listen to your tunes on the lovely, large,
beautifully decorated, upstairs covered front porch. If you need to get away
for some peaceful quiet time to relax or read, take a seat in the comfortable
Adirondack chairs in the quaint, quiet, and fully shaded sitting area
downstairs. Lush plants, painted surfboard art, and custom mosaic tiles
embedded into the flooring add to the tranquil atmosphere.
If the weather turns bad or you need a break from sun outdoors, you'll never
be bored with so many choices for inside fun. There is enough room to be all
together in one of the living areas, or for each person to hide away in their
own quiet space. In addition to cornhole, you'll find a ping pong table in the
garage. As mentioned above, the garage will be transformed into a gameroom by
the spring. Unique to any other homes on the island, you will find the
upstairs “Game Closet” which holds, 60+ family games and puzzles, books to
read, 200+ movies, karaoke machine, and a popcorn maker to keep the party
going. For those that want to enjoy some personal screen time, high-speed
Spectrum Wi-Fi internet has you covered. If you need a big screen, in addition
to the two large TVs in the living rooms, each bedroom has its own 43 inch
Samsung smart TV that is loaded with the Spectrum app --- Perfect for days or
nights when you just want to stay inside.
At the end of the day it's time to relax and rest in one of the three
beautifully decorated bedrooms. The upstairs primary bedroom features a
private bath with shower, a luxurious comfy queen bed and a romantic faux
fireplace. There is even a work desk with extra USB plugs and surge-protected
power for those that choose to "work from anywhere". The second upstairs
bedroom with a queen bed overlooks the backyard pool and shares a bathroom
with a shower with the open kitchen/living area. The downstairs bedroom boasts
a king-sized bed and has a private entrance to the bathroom shared with the
downstairs living space. This bathroom is fitted with a shower as well. Please
note that there are no tubs in the bathrooms. If you need more sleeping space,
there is a hidden gem in the downstairs living area. The furniture under the
wall-mounted TV is actually a Cabinet Murphy bed that folds out to reveal a
queen-size memory foam bed. This surprisingly comfortable bed will accommodate
two more people. Four very comfortable beds for up to 8 guests in total.
“Carolyn by the Sea” is located on a quiet, peaceful street with friendly
neighbors that add to the quaintness and tranquility of the home. For your
comfort and convenience, you will find a washer and dryer in the garage
available for your use. Being dog lovers ourselves, we welcome up to two well-
behaved small or medium-sized dogs. For additional reassurance as you select
your next vacation spot, read the many 5-star reviews from our past guests.
All this, and just a 3 minute walk to the beach access #21, a 7 minute walk to
Wanna Wanna, one of the most popular dog friendly beach bar and grills on the
island, and a 2 minute walk to the neighborhood convenience store and local
liquor store, and the 5200 block of specialty shops including Art*Sea, Karma
Coffee, Ship Shape and Charmed.
Kick back, relax and create a life-long memory at "Carolyn by the Sea"!
