The Little Paddle is a 1940’s tropical beach home just moments away from the beach, boardwalk, lake, and state park!

This cozy coastal design and creative space is conveniently located in the heart of Carolina Beach and only 2 blocks from the beach and lake. A 5 minute walk to the Boardwalk is lots of great restaurants, shops, rentals, amusement rides, bars, coffee, ice-cream, donuts, an arcade & more!

Enjoy a hike through the state park, a visit to the aquarium, or a summer movie by the lake!

The beach is only a 0.2 mile walk from The Little Paddle! In addition to convenient beach access, this home is no more than a 5 minute walk to the boardwalk, local restaurants, shopping, and Carolina Beach Lake Park while still offering privacy and a quiet space to relax after a long day enjoying the beach.

This cottage was perfect for my husband and I’s weekend getaway! It was stocked with everything we needed and had the perfect amount of space for 2 people. It was only a few blocks from the beach access and boardwalk, so the walkability was great!

Enjoyed our stay!

The unit was a very short walk to the beach. It was ideally located in terms of attractions, food, coffee, etc. We also enjoyed the proximity to the park. The unit was very quiet and peaceful as well.
