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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Great spot for our Labor Day weekend trip; just a block from the beach! My kids loved having their own room and we all appreciated the included linens and beach supplies! Perfect spot for a family trip; would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at the pistachio bungalow! Good distance to the beach and restaurants. We enjoyed the outdoor space and the beach chairs and wagon were very helpful!
It’s was perfect for our family. Loved that it was so close to the beach and restaurants. The house was clean and neat. Would love to stay there again.
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.
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 🙂
It was cute, clean, definitely had more amenities than your average rental including all the beach stuff, games and puzzles and the fenced in yard and screened in porch. Only cons were that the ice maker wasn’t working well and there is not an indoor dining room area. Property managers were friendly and helpful.
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.
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!
The Pistachio cottage was a great stay due to the extra amenities. It was clean, bug free with good air conditioning and finally location, location, location.The beach chairs, beach umbrella and outdoor wash-off areas were appreciated. Clean linens, towels and kitchen cleaning supplies took the stress out of a beach visit. We really enjoyed the outdoor shower, which keeps the humidity out of the cottage.Highly recommend for a smaller group or family. Our family visit consisted of four adults.
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.
Staying at the Pistachio Bungalow was delightful! The house was in a nice neighborhood. It was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The hosts were responsive and gave great directions. The beds were very comfortable. It was a quick walk to the beach. The house had everything you need for the beach. We absolutely loved it. We will definitely stay again!!!
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!!
