Welcome to Hipnautic Waves, a delightfully refreshed end unit condo on the 2nd row from the beach just steps to the sand with calming ocean vistas, breeze and sounds. Sit on the sizable covered balcony or inside and listen to the Hipnautic Waves crashing just across the street!

This bright & airy 3 Bed/2 Full Bath condo is in the only condo building located on the quieter less congested west end of Oak Island, and with just 15 condo units offers a more relaxing experience. As an end unit condo, it has added privacy along with windows on 3 of 4 sides, plus 2 sets of sizable sliding glass doors for tons of natural light & ocean vistas! Since OKI is a South-facing beach, we get fantastic photo worthy sunsets & sunrises, both over the water.

This entirely modernized condo includes a new kitchen with all stainless steel appliances, Quartz countertops throughout, recessed lighting, ceiling fans & vinyl plank floor. There is complimentary on-site parking (3 Spaces) and community picnic bench. When you return from your walk across the street from the beach, wash off that salt & sand at the Outdoor Shower. Conveniently store all your beach gear in the storage closet just outside the front door.

Feel a comfortable stay in the roomy open kitchen, dining & living area. The kitchen is completely outfitted to prepare all your delicious meals including Drip Coffee Maker (single serve & pot), Hot Water Kettle, Blender, Bagel-Sized Toaster, Electric Griddle & Crock Pot. The huge countertop with island is great for additional prep & serving space. The window in the kitchen overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway which is within walking distance! The living area, with plenty of comfortable seating, has a huge screen TV with extended cable and HBO, plus HDMI ports for Roku/Fire TV etc. The enormous coffee table is ideal for playing games & assembling puzzles.

This amazing location is convenient for the beach, walking, fishing, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, cycling, running, birdwatching or simply relaxing. Walking distance to 2 beach access points & public fishing dock; under 2 miles away is The Point with powder soft sand, wildlife viewing & photo worthy vistas. Oak Island's groceries, shopping, 2 piers, splash pad, skateboard park, craft fairs, eateries, bars, live music & outdoor concerts with Food Trucks are under 5 miles away. We recommend Lonerider (1.4 mi) with food, drinks, game nights, cornhole, large outdoor space; and Island Way Restaurant (2.4 mi) on the pier with great ocean vistas. There is a public boat ramp & water access point at 57th Place (1.4 mi). Visit Historic Southport with eateries and shopping.

You will probably have spent a lot of your time at the condo sitting on the deck observing the tides come & go, feeling those restorative sea breezes & listening to those HipNautic Waves. Perhaps you were contemplating just how soon you can return.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. To book the largest rental for your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. 2nd Row • Ocean Views • Newly Remodeled • Dog-Friendly • 2-min Walk To Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you book your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach beach you long to visit, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
