Lulla-by the Sea an Amazing Oceanfront Beach House With Pool and Elevator

Lulla-by the Sea-B, the left side of a duplex, is centrally located between the Fort Fisher NC Aquarium in the town of Kure Beach and the Boardwalk in Carolina Beach. Dig your toes in the warm sand and relax until your heart's content. Enjoy vacationing at Lulla-by the Sea and see what Kure Beach and Pleasure Island has to offer.

Pleasure Island has many wonderful attractions to keep everyone happy. Activities including historic Fort Fisher aquarium, sailing/boating, fishing, and shopping are some things offered. Great restaurants are located on the island and close to fine dining in Wilmington, NC. Each night, during the summer, offers a different adventure from Sunday night open air movies at the lake to Thursday night fireworks and live music at the boardwalk. We have one of the best fireworks display around as this is a weekly event during the summer. Don't leave the boardwalk without buying a Britt's Doughnut (ask anyone, they will tell you this is the best doughnut, ever).

Lulla-by-the Sea is a beautiful 5 bedroom 4 bath, oceanfront home (left side of duplex), with semi-private beach access, shared pool (with side A. It is not heated and is not available for usage from November through mid-April) and a private elevator. We have gone above and beyond furnishing our home to make sure your stay is memorable. Lulla-by the Sea comfortably sleeps up to 14 guests. You'll love looking at the Atlantic Ocean from the 2nd and 3rd level decks of this 2900 square foot gorgeous oceanfront three story home.

This three story duplex offers the best of the beach with amazing ocean views from the second and third level decks. Relax on the deck or tan beside the 16 x 32 saltwater pool (shared with side A, not heated and not available between November and mid-April) with footwash. Enjoy the complimentary high speed wifi service and smart TV's.

Upon entering Lulla-by the Sea, you will find that the ground floor offers a private garage with laundry (full size washer and dryer) area at the rear of the garage, an elevator that will access all three floors, and a large bedroom with full bath. This brightly decorated bedroom has a queen size bed and is equipped with a flat screen smart TV. It is great for teenagers to get away from the adults and have a private area.

Ascend to the open second floor and step into the gorgeous living room with breathtaking views of the ocean. This level has wood floors, double crown molding, chair rail and a back wall of windows with outstanding ocean views. There are two love seats, a sofa and a woven chair for plenty of seating. Need extra sleeping space, open the sofa and make a comfortable bed. This room has a large 47” HD smart TV with DVD player. Walk outside onto an oceanfront deck where you can grill your nights dinner, or sit and enjoy a stunning sunrise. A semi-private beach access leads to the white sandy beaches of Kure Beach.

A stunning open floor plan on the building’s second floor allows easy entertaining for large groups. The dining area includes a large dining room table with seating for 8, while six people can sit at the bar. A completely well equipped kitchen with granite countertops, 5 burner gas cooktop, and stainless steel appliances makes cooking a breeze. This kitchen is stocked with all everything utensil, pot, pan, dishes, and gadgets you can imagine.

This floor also has a large bedroom with queen bed, walk out balcony, large closet, crown molding and flat screen smart TV. A bathroom with bath/shower combo is located close by. A hall closet holds adult and children's games and books, movies, extra linens for the sofa bed, first aid kit, cards, larger pots, and cleaning supplies.

The top floor, with wood floors, offers three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms. The middle bedroom, with a large closet, has two sets of bunk beds. The shared bathroom, with the bunk bedroom room and front street side king bedroom, has a bath/shower combo. The large street side bedroom has a king size bed with a small walk out balcony, and a flat screen smart TV. Enjoy a little bit of quiet time while reading a book in the sitting area in this room. A pack-n-play is located in this bedroom closet.

The large master suite with its stunning views, has a king bed, flat screen smart TV, and an extra-large walk in closet. Relax in the private bathroom with the deep soaking tub, large vanity with his/her sinks, and separate tiled walk in shower. Watch the dolphins or take in the beauty of an amazing sunrise or enjoy a cup of coffee on your private deck.

Outside from the living room on the second floor is a large area to relax with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Enjoy a delicious meal cooked on the gas grill. Take a dip in the lighted swimming pool shared with side A (not heated and not available from November - mid-April) with foot wash. Stroll over to the beach on the semi-private walk. Look for shells or grab a good book and beach chair and loose yourself for the day.

We are a PET FREE home.

Lulla-by-the Sea makes vacationing easy, relaxing and fun. Come spend time with us and leave your worries behind.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Carolina Beach! This place is everything as advertised! Great beach,pool,deck area as well as large gas grill. Kitchen was full stocked with everything you need! Plenty of beach chairs that were nice for a large group! Both families felt they would love to come back because there is so much we did not get to do.

Peaceful Retreat

This was a wonderful place to have our family vacation. The rooms were a great size and having bedrooms on all floors gave everyone their choice of where to be. We enjoyed relaxing on the decks watching the waves roll in. The grill is large enough to accommodate a large meal and the table for 8 made it possible for us to gather and enjoy it together. Beautiful peaceful retreat!

The Lulla by the Sea was a great place to rest, relax and reset. The house was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The location was superb, steps from the beach. We had an incredible stay, and everyone had the best time. This was without a doubt the one of the best couple trip we have had.

Debby-by-the-Sea

Vacationing at the beach during the same week a tropical storm named Debby comes to town is never a good thing. However, the convenient beachfront location of Lulla-by the Sea meant we could quickly take advantage of every band of calm clear weather. We headed outside as soon as the rains stopped and didn’t miss a day at the beach or pool! And when we were stuck inside, the clean spacious floor plan provided ample room for fun indoor activities for the little ones and the third floor balcony presented amazing views of the oceans waves and stormy skies. This was the perfect house to experience it all.

Father’s Day at the beach.

Our family has been gathering at the beach for Father’s Day for several years. As we have added grandchildren, we needed a larger space. Lulu-by the sea is a beautiful home. The location and amenity’s met all our needs and more. The pool was perfect solution on days when the surf was ruff. We hope to return to Lulu-by the sea next year.

Perfect beach, safe location, comfy home!

Everything we needed, and more. The kitchen was super stocked, so we were able to easily (and comfortably) make all meals in the house. Pool was a perfect escape from the sand, and a great temperature for cooling off. Location was wonderful, and we felt super safe with our family and kids having some freedom to adventure. Thank you again!

Pictures and descriptions are accurate

Clean, close to beach, updated, appliances all worked well, well equipped with utensils, dishes, grill, etc. Two things to watch out for: there are no food prep items such as salt and pepper, spices, foil, etc. so bring your own. The deck and boardwalk to beach is old and worn and slivers/splinters will probably happen. It did to us. Suggest beach shoes at all times on decking.

Fantastic Beach House for Surf and Sun

Three generations of our family loved our week at Lulla-by the Sea beach house. It is the best stocked and furnished of any we've rented. The location is highly convenient to Kure and Carolina Beach attractions, restaurants and amenities. The beach is wide and sandy, perfect for sunning or swimming. We loved running and walking on the beach for miles in both directions. The house is spacious and beautifully decorated. Very comfortable. The kitchen is large and perfect for preparing large family meals. The elevator is a big plus for getting luggage to the 3rd floor bedrooms. The outdoor area includes a very nice pool, quality large propane grill, deck chairs + table, and beach chairs. Parking for 4 vehicles (1 in garage) is a definite advantage. The owner is highly responsive, very pleasant to deal with, and completely committed to guests' satisfaction. Her support staff (cleaning, management) get the job done - well and quickly. Recommended without reservation! You will not be disappointed!
