****Pool heating available October - April for an additional fee - see details below!****

This cozy and comfortable 2nd row beach bungalow is not only ideally located for your beach vacation with the public beach access just 3 homes down and Ocean Crest Pier right close by, but also comes with a lot of spectacular history! The home was named Hazel for her magnificant strength and might during Hurricane Hazel which devastated Oak Island in 1954. This home was one of only five homes on the entire island that survived the storm. The original solid cinder blocks with which the home was constructed in 1953 are still intact. Hazel was completely & lovingly restored in 2020, offering you all the modern amenities you are used to in a nice and cozy space to call home while you relax at the beach. You will want for nothing here! An broad screened porch, in-ground pool (with pool heating available for an additional fee), and enclosed outdoor shower were also added during the 2020 renovations. You are sure to adore the privacy fence surrounding the pool where you can lounge to your heart's content without all the sand. From the pool area you can access the lower level of the home where you will find a half bathroom and ping-pong table. After gathering your fresh catch from a calming day of fishing out on the beach or at the Ocean Crest Pier, you can come back and grille out the best seafood you've ever tasted! Sit back on the comfortable screened porch and appreciate your morning coffee or an evening glass of good old southern sweet tea to witness the most spectacular Oak Island sunrises and sunsets paint the sky. Plenty of seating for everybody! If you feel like getting out, there’s tons to do and see on and around Oak Island. Don’t forget the Summer Concerts at Middleton Park, just a few mins.’ drive away. As you experience Hazel, you are sure to find yourself being strengthened and renewed from the storms of everyday life, just as this mighty home, aptly named, encourages us all to be strong and keep living life to the fullest.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• To find the best value, shift your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months 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 qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best rental home in the Carolina Beach area:

• First, have your group agree to the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. 3BR\/2.5BA House - 2nd Row, Ocean Views, POOL, DOG FRIENDLY, Sleeps 6 has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you love, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. text the property manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
