The beach has a way of reminding you to slow down. The best homes know not to get in the way. Welcome to 601 A Fort Fisher Blvd. S, where architecture and the coastline exist in quiet harmony. Thoughtfully designed to embrace the ocean rather than compete with it, every space invites the outdoors in--from sun-filled living areas and expansive oceanfront decks to a private heated infinity-edge plunge pool designed to blend seamlessly into the shoreline. Inside, every detail feels intentional. The kitchen is anchored by a stunning quartzite waterfall island and a full JennAir appliance package featuring a 48-inch gas range. In the living area, a three-sided glass fireplace wrapped in Venetian plaster creates a striking focal point, while a dry bar with a beverage refrigerator makes entertaining feel effortless. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private oceanfront retreat with a tongue-and-groove ceiling, spa-inspired bath with a rainfall shower beneath skylights, and a balcony where sunrise quickly becomes part of your daily routine. Part of the boutique Villas Del Mar collection, this newly constructed oceanfront townhome offers the freedom of no HOA -- only shared recorded CCRs and a maintenance agreement -- while allowing short-term rentals. PGT WinGuard impact-rated windows, a metal roof, turf front yards and thoughtfully selected materials create a home built for generations of coastal living. Just moments from the Kure Beach Pier, Fort Fisher, and local restaurants, 601A is more than a place to stay, it's a home designed to help you enjoy the beach the way it was meant to be.

The spacious kitchen offers ample cabinet space, an island with bar seating, and opens to a large living room on one side and a cozy dining area on the other. There's even a dedicated 'work from anywhere' nook. In 2024, the home was elevated through a FEMA grant using a resilient helical piling system encased in concrete block. Since then, the owners have made numerous interior improvements, including luxury vinyl plank flooring, updated bathrooms, fresh interior paint, and new appliances. Earlier updates include a 2018 roof and 2021 HVAC. Out back, two detached buildings enhance the property's value and flexibility. A two-story, approximately 700-square-foot structure was previously used as an apartment and offers exciting potential for additional living space, a guest suite, studio, or rental opportunity with renovation. A separate approximately 250-square-foot workshop provides abundant storage for surfboards, fishing and boating gear, bicycles, and all your beach essentials. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a weekend getaway, or an income-producing beach investment, this classic Carolina Beach cottage offers an unbeatable location, significant recent improvements, and exceptional versatility.

Just across the street from the Atlantic Ocean, this beautifully updated classic Oak Island beach cottage offers the perfect blend of timeless coastal charm, modern upgrades, and proven investment potential. Featuring original hardwood floors and conveying furnished, this home is ready to be enjoyed as a vacation getaway, primary residence, or income-producing short-term rental. The current owners have invested extensively in quality improvements, allowing the next owner to enjoy the home without worrying about major projects. Significant updates include a lifetime metal roof (2025), hurricane-impact windows (2025), all pilings (2025), premium WearDeck composite decking, whole-house siding, an enclosed outdoor shower, a renovated lower level with flood vents meeting current FEMA requirements, and an updated water heater. Inside, you'll find two beautifully renovated bathrooms showcasing artisan tile, glass surrounds, and high-end finishes, along with the convenience of a newly added upstairs laundry closet. A standout feature of this property is its exceptional track record as a high-performing short-term rental, producing up to $79,000 in annual rental income during ownership. Lower-income years were directly related to owner-planned renovations and a temporary change in property management--not a lack of rental demand. Even with the home unavailable for four prime rental months during the recent bathroom addition, approximately $49,000 is already secured in reservations for 2026, highlighting its continued earning potential. Whether you're searching for a personal beach retreat, a turnkey investment, or the flexibility to enjoy both, this Oak Island cottage delivers. Opportunities to own a thoughtfully updated home this close to the beach--with major structural improvements already completed and a proven rental history--are becoming increasingly rare.
