Steps to the Beach:Oceanfront - Pools - Prime Spot - Vacation rental home in Carolina Beach, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 2 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Condo
• Approximately 850 square feet

From the ocean-view living room to the private balcony, everybody finds something to adore 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 savor a casual dinner in—we hear Michael's famed seafood chowder pairs generously 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 appreciate 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.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer time is high season in Carolina Beach. Book your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefect Carolina Beach rental home:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Steps to the Beach:Oceanfront - Pools - Prime Spot has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs applied to your agreement.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of issues.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
