This new, 5-bedroom home, finished in May 2016, features the best decks on the island. Savor ocean and marsh vistas from two levels of wrap around porches that ensure plenty of sun or shade to meet your mood at any time of the day. From the back decks we have spotted deer, coyotes, and multiple bird species. From the front deck, you can see dolphins playing in the wake of shrimping boats, rabbits hopping in the dunes, and on May 6th, we even spotted a whale breaching.

The CAMA public beach access directly across the street makes getting to the beach a breeze, and a private pool, shaded at mid-day, offers a calming alternative to the ocean. Your family will have plenty of opportunities to savor the water.

The home is constructed on an inverted floor plan with four bedrooms on the first level: facing the ocean are: a six-person bunk bed room that is ideal for kids and a queen bedroom, and facing the marsh are one queen bedroom and one bedroom with two twin beds. The master bedroom, with a king bed, provides an extraordinary ocean view from the second level. Also on the second level are: the kitchen, dining room and living room, all with vistas of both the ocean and marsh. This home has beds for 8 adults and 6 kids. 10 adults can also comfortably sleep with two adults per bedroom.

This home has two levels of wrap around porches to optimize vistas of the ocean and marsh. Appreciate vistas of the ocean from rocking chairs on the top deck or the first floor deck. Enjoy a meal and a spectacular marsh view from the top rear deck - you might spot deer, raccoons and coyotes and you will definitely see numerous birds and crabs. Unwind by the marsh on the first floor rear deck with cushioned patio furnishings and a 4 person table ideal for a board game or a snack. The front and rear decks are connected through enormous side decks which provide great play areas for kids. Should pool time prove too much fun, take a break at the pool-side, shaded picnic table. It is a great spot for lunch and it's close to the charcoal grille available for renters to use. If you're visiting us in the off-season, the pool can be heated for your comfort.

This is our dream home and because we want you to feel at home here we offer toys, games, books, beach chairs, beach tent, linen and towel service and a supplied kitchen. We hope to welcome you soon!

Getting the best Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer time is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Choosing and booking your prefect Carolina Beach rental:

• First and foremost, have your family choose a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 5 Bedroom 2nd Row Home with Heated Pool and Spectacular Marsh and Ocean Views has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Know before you go:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. text the rental manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
