Fish Tales-A Short Walk to the Beach

Welcome to Fish Tales (formerly known as Buddy's Bungalow) which is located on the North End of Carolina Beach, featuring Canal views and a short walk to the beach. This recently updated 3 bedroom home provides an ideal setting for everyone to enjoy - outdoors and indoors. Whether you're passionate about swimming, fishing, surfing or simply unwinding on the beach, there's no better place to stay.
The space
Fish Tales is just a short 4 minute walk to Periwinkle beach access and also a short walk to the North End Pier where the High Tide Lounge & Tiki Bar are located. If you have a 4x4 vehicle, Freeman Park is a 1 minute drive from the home, where you can drive right out onto the beach and enjoy your day. Fish Tales (formerly known as Buddy's Bungalow) was purchased in 2023 and many updates have been made to the home along with all new furniture, kitchen appliances, Ping Pong Table and much more!
Outdoor Areas.:
The large wrap around upper deck and front porch features a gas grill, rocking chairs, sun loungers, and two dining tables.
The lower area is covered featuring Adirondack chairs, tables, cornhole boards and a charcoal grill. The Game Room right off the lower patio features a Ping Pong table, dartboard and all of the bikes, beach chairs, coolers, umbrella, beach toys and boogie boards are located in this room. The driveway and carport can accommodate 4-6 vehicles, and there is an area to charge your Golf Cart if you choose to rent one.
