From the ocean-view living room to the private balcony, everybody finds something to appreciate at our oceanfront condo. Escape to this first-floor getaway where the beach is just steps outside your door. A cavernous floor plan lets you vacation with a group while still finding space for yourself (we get it!), and bring the family dog with you to discover the beach and spectacular trails.

Here's how you can spend your hideaway:

* Save a morning to rise early. Trust us: it's worth it for a view of sunrise over the ocean from the private balcony.

* Bring home your fresh catch and prep a seafood feast in the full kitchen with all new appliances. Open a bottle of wine to bribe a few people to help you prep and chop at the pass-through bar.

* No reservation needed for your dining table for six. Wander off the beach and appreciate a casual dinner in—we hear Michael's famed seafood chowder pairs gorgeously with a bottle of white and countless ocean vistas.

* Rainy day? Get comfortable on the living room couch and find your favorite movie or play a board game while storm-watching over the ocean.

Find tranquility and peaceful in the king-size master suite with its own private bath (the rain-style shower head has gotten rave reviews).

Rest up in the second bedroom with a bespoke queen-over-queen bunk and its own modest balcony. Adults appreciate this space as much as kids do. There's also a futon in the living area for the snorer in your group. ????

We've got you covered with all the fun stuff—like sand toys, coloring books, beach chairs and body boards. And we're equipped with the essentials, too—like a washer/dryer, WiFi, and hotel-quality linens and towels.

WHERE YOU'LL FIND US

We've traveled up and down the North Carolina coast, and we haven't found a town we adore more than Carolina Beach. At our condo, all the best spots are within simple reach. Plus, with access to two community pools, you can take a break from the sand and surf to practice your backstroke.

Of course there's the beach just outside your door, but within walking distance there's also Freeman Park for bonfires on the beach, Carolina Beach Fishing Pier, and a cozy downtown with plenty of places to shop or grab a bite. Don't leave without trying a Britt's donut!

Hop in your car (2 parking passes per condo) and drive just a few mins. to Carolina Beach State Park to walk down the Venus flytrap trail, see sea life up close at North Carolina Aquarium, or take a local tour to Shark Island.

Strategies to get the perfect Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Book your Carolina Beach rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking a perfect Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Begin by selecting your a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Steps to the Beach:Oceanfront - Pools - Prime Spot has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
