Most people don't consider staying in a shipping container when they go on vacation, but it might not be such a bad idea. In North Carolina people on vacation can rent out a shipping container that's only a short walk from the beach and it's unlike any other shipping container you've ever seen before.

Just a short walk away from the warm, sandy beaches in Carolina Beach, NC, are two large shipping containers. They are much more than storage units, however.

They are modern structures, packed with everyday amenities, and they’re ready for visitors! There are two almost identical shipping containers that act as vacation homes for North Carolina visitors.

The shipping containers are named the Conchs and comfortably fit two adults and one child. They were created by the owner, Shelly, in an effort to offer a unique, low-profile vacation rental for visitors.

The two shipping contains are located on adjoining lots so they can be rented together or separately for couples who are looking for a simpler type of getaway.

The bathrooms are spacious and include all the normal things you’d expect from a hotel stay. Shelly even provides her guests with organic linens!
