The Silvery Moon: 1940s Beach Cottage – Steps away from the ocean!

***If you plan on bringing a dog, please let us know. We charge a $175. Non-returnable dog fee.***

Welcome to The Silvery Moon – a modernized 1940s beach bungalow, with all the charms of the 1940s and the amenities of 2025! We are a dog friendly property and allow up to two well-behaved dogs. The backyard is fenced in for them too! We provide crates (two 36"; two 24", and one 42" located in the carport storage closet), dog bowls, towels, and a shammy towel for when your pup goes for a swim!

The bungalow sleeps 6 and has 2 sizable bedrooms with giant closets and 2 completely refreshed bathrooms. The open floor plan offers a huge completely supplied kitchen with tons of cabinets, and a family room that spills into the enclosed porch. With tons of windows, there are numerous with ocean vistas! The beds, beds, L-shaped couch and chairs are all new. The bungalow has been remodeled and decorated to feel like you are back in the 1940s, with shiplap throughout and framed art with forties flare!

The primary bedroom has a king-size bed and private bathroom, plus two enormous closets. The second bedroom also has a king-size bed and sizable closet. Both bedrooms have dressers, bamboo hard-wood floors and mounted 42” TVs. The main living area has a full bathroom, including a tub, a huge entirely-outfitted kitchen area, a big island with 3 chairs, a large couch and chair, and a 58” TV. The enclosed porch has a queen-size pull-out couch, a privacy screen, multiple chairs and a reading nook that overlooks the ocean.

Savor the broad deck while you BBQ with family and friends. The outdoor table lets you appreciate your food and drink while you savor the sea breezes! The bungalow comes with 6 beach chairs, a BBQ, pillows, sheets, towels, including beach towels, has an outdoor shower, and parking for 4 cars.

Once you park your car, you can leave it there, as the bungalow sits on a one-way street that is more like a pedestrian walkway and convenient to nearly anything in town! It's an simple walk to the Carolina Beach boardwalk to the North, and the Ocean Grille & Tiki Bar to the South. Other attractions within walking distance are 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 excellent 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. During the summer there are complimentary outdoor concerts and movies, a weekly Farmers Market, and Thursday nighttime fireworks- all within walking distance. Stroll the boardwalk, head down to the Kure Beach pier, visit the NC Aquarium or take in some local Civil War history at Fort Fisher. You can find new things to do every day or, of course, just relax on the beach and soak up the sun. You'll be glad you came to Carolina Beach and will want to come back year after year.

Tips for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Summer is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To book the largest vacation home within budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Finding the perfect rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Updated beach cottage, ocean views. Tons of Outdoor Space! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is right for your family.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the host right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
