Spend your next beach vacation rocking on the cavernous wraparound porch at “Cardwell”.

The private road with no public parking will make you feel as though you have the beach to yourself. Don’t miss your chance to vacation in this one-of-a-kind bungalow!

The main living level of “Cardwell” has a huge living-dining area with cathedral ceilings.

The kitchen and bathrooms have been lightly refreshed to make a comfortable space to prepare home cooked meals for the family.

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Cape Fear area area. To get the largest rental home for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.

Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
