Beach bungalow at pistachio: one block from the beach and Tiki bar

This charming bungalow is steps away from the beach access at the Ocean Grill Tiki. You can hear the ocean from the screened in porch out back or out front on a huge deck with picnic table. One block from the ocean, this house has been completely renovated yet still has the cottage nostalgia when it was a barracks. There is plenty of outdoor living space as well as a yard perfect for corn hole, grilling out or enjoying your family and friends in the privacy of the back yard (fence). Fully remodeled in 2020 (new floors, new decks, bathroom and kitchen with a screened in porch addition), this house is perfect for up to six people. There is enough room in the driveway to bring your boat or park three cars.
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Carolina Beach. Laundry facilities are available. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the vacation home.

Exactly what we needed

The Pistachio beach bungalow couldn't be more perfect! My husband and I spent the holiday weekend visiting our son who is stationed in Jacksonville, NC. We had everything we needed to feel like we were a home away from home, so we were able to enjoy what Carolina Beach offered as well as veg out and make some home cooked meals. The beach is literally a block away and the boardwalk was about a 20 minute walk. My husband and son frequented the ice cream shop around the corner at least twice a day-once on the way to dinner and once on the way back. There is a cute park close by as well. The weather was not great during our stay, but we did enjoy watching the Mets game outside in the screened in porch and for a small house, there was so much outdoor seating available! Allison reached out as soon as we got there to make sure we were good and let us know we could contact her if we needed anything. Definitely would consider staying here again for a quick family getaway!

The home was cute and charming. I loved the porch sitting areas both front and back. It was really nice to cook breakfast and sit on the back porch to enjoy breakfast. Location to the beach was perfect and the provided chairs and cart were a blessing.

Perfect cottage - a block from the beach!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location is IDEAL - one easy block to the beach. The house is just as advertised and worked perfectly for our family (2 adults & 2 teens). When we walked in and saw ceiling fans in all the rooms I knew we found a winner. The enclosed back deck is perfect for your morning coffee or evening cocktail. Nice flat fenced in yard offers great privacy from neighbors. We would totally book this one again!!

Loved it

The property is perfect. Totally fenced in, off the main road. Screened in porch and a huge front deck. Walk across the street to the beach access. Tons of restaurants/dessert places in walking distance. Next door neighbors are super nice. Property owners are very nice, and responsive. My only qualm was that the room with the queen bed has no dresser (there isnt enough room), so my husband and I had to store our clothing in the dresser in one of our kid's rooms. Not a big deal though to us, personally, just something to note! We loved our stay here. It was perfect and I highly recommend this property.

Great Location

The Pistachio was a lovely cottage in a fabulous location, close to the beach and in a very nice neighborhood. We loved the stay, the cleanliness, the responsiveness of the landlords, and the feel of the cottage. We would definitely recommend the Pistachio to anybody looking for a place near the beach that is family friendly with responsive property managers. All of us loved it.

Charming Bungalow!

We were looking for a smaller home with three bedrooms so each of us could have our own place to sleep, with a small kitchen well stocked and a family room to relax in. All of this within walking distance to the beach. This was all we could have hoped for. We walked everywhere and enjoy the sunrise on the beach every morning. The yard is fenced for privacy and for children to play. The back deck with the enclosed screened porch was delightful to sit and enjoy the sounds of the beach. Clean, comfortable, close to beach. We will stay again!

Top 5 Family Vacation

Loved our time at the Pistachio Bungalow. Our Carolina Beach vacation will definitely go down as a top 5 for our family. My teenager loved the screened in back porch and our 5 year old loved every room in the house. This place had everything you would want for a blast at the beach. Definitely coming back!

Had an amazing time. Loved the house and the porches were great especially the screened in back porch at night. It was a short walk to the beach which was not crowded and the tiki bar that had great food. We are going to plan another trip next year and can’t wait to get back.

Great Getaway for Spring Break

My family and I enjoyed our stay very much. The screened in back porch and fenced backyard were just wonderful for a family with young children! They also offered puzzles and books in the laundry room for use on a rainy day. The owners were very responsive to all our questions and needs. Wonderful vacation spot 🙂

What an absolute pleasant surprise!!!🥰

We could not have asked for more. This home is so comfy, and super super super close to the beach. The enclosed porch was the best for family breakfast and the open patio out back made for a memorable night for a barbecue. I am so thankful this home is kids friendly. Pistachio, we will back soon but for now continue to be the perfect home away from home.

Cute, clean, close to the beach

The house was clean, comfortable, and a short, easy walk to the beach-just what we were looking for! Having the house beach towels, beach chairs, and cart was super convenient. As others have said-check the laundry room, screen porch, and shed upon arrival so you don’t miss out on amenities. For example, some of our clean towels were in a bag on the screen porch when we arrived. This house is on my “come back to” list!
