Description

Boutique Historic Inn in the Heart of Carolina Beach. Rare opportunity to acquire a 12-unit historic inn located in the heart of Carolina Beach, just 1,000 feet from the beach and within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the CB Boardwalk. This two-story property blends preserved historic charm with thoughtful modern updates and is offered fully furnished, including all operational assets and the established business. The property features 12 guest rooms, each with a private bathroom. The ground floor includes four one-bedroom suites, three with full kitchens and one with a kitchenette, each with living and dining areas and private rear decks overlooking a fenced backyard. The second floor offers eight efficiency rooms, four with access to the front porch and four overlooking a garden area. A shared hallway includes a guest refreshment station, and all upper-level rooms include mini refrigerators, microwaves, and Keurig coffee makers. Recent updates include a new HVAC system, interior and exterior paint, and commercial laundry equipment with Queen Speed washers and dryers. The inn operates across major booking platforms including Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, and a direct-booking website, with smart locks and off-site guest support in place. The inn currently operates as a pet-friendly property. There is no on-site office, and the property operates as a self-check-in inn. Existing management is willing to remain in place to handle reservations, guest communication, housekeeping, maintenance, and daily operations, providing a smooth transition for new ownership. While significantly improved, the property still offers additional growth potential through further upgrades or operational enhancements. All parties must sign an NDA to view financials. Visit the Carolina Beach Inn's website to explore the property, then schedule a private showing to experience it in person.
