About this property
The Original Lulla-by the Sea Amazing Oceanfront Beach House W/Pool and Elevator
Please be aware another property owner has copied the name Lullaby the Sea. This is the original Lulla-by the Sea. It is definitely not the same property.
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. The fireplace is not available for guests usage. 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 every 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.

Yes, the home was so relaxing and quiet. All enjoyed the time and having their own space, then lots of group space. A bit hectic on leaving trying not to forget check out needs.

Beautiful property that was a great location for a family get-together. Nice, walkable beach with direct access. Well-maintained pool for warmer weather. Some basic paper products and toiletries supplied, but bring your own napkins, tissues, shampoo, etc.
We stayed with our elderly parents 70 and one year granddaughter. The elevator was a convenience and the house was right on the beach. The house was clean and the kitchen well stocked. We cooked and grilled everyday
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 property was exactly as advertised. Enjoyed having the option of the pool or the beach within a few steps. The rooms and living space was perfect for the family.
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.
We had 10 people on our family vacation ranging from 10-72 and had an amazing time! The pool was shared by just both sides of a duplex so was very private! Grocery stores and restaurants were also conveniently located to the property.
Lovely beach house where our family spent an enjoyable time together. The house has so much to offer, beautifully decorated and warm welcoming touches such as beach towels and kitchen and laundry supplies. The owner was quick to respond and helpful. We would definitely choose to come back again.
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!
Overall the home was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked. Lots of house and beach extras provided. The pool water was refreshing…not hot. Parking is tight, but workable. Highly recommend!
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.
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.
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.
This house has it ALL and more! My family and I were so impressed with this house. I really don’t think you can beat the bang for your buck. We’ve stayed at lots of different beach houses along the east coast over the years, and this one is in my top 3 for sure. I cannot emphasize how convenient the walk to the beach is. I think that was my favorite part. I was there with my 7 month old baby, and wanted to be on the beach as much as possible, but also knew I would constantly be making trips in and out of the house to feed her, and put her down for naps. In the past, many homes we’ve stayed at had loooong walk ways with lots of steps to get over the dunes. Walking to and from the beach could feel like a small hike. But this house had the shortest, flattest, most convenient walk to the beach I’ve ever had! If you take that into account along with the fact that this house has an elevator, I would say it’s extremely accessible for the elderly, or those with a wheelchair. It came fully stocked with enough essentials to last us all week (dish & laundry detergent, dryer sheets, trash bags, soap, etc). The kitchen has EVERYTHING you could possibly ask for (plenty of: utensils, gadgets, pots, pans, etc). Check in/out was a breeze. We had one small issue with the elevator, but the property manager was there asap to help us out (our fault for not having all doors closed for the elevator to work properly). Thank you Renee! We’ll be back :)
