About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 1540 square feet

New home constructed in Oct 2021! On a peaceful, residential street, never worry about being surrounded by event-goers. The streets safe for bicycle riding and walking, far enough away from the center of town, but close enough to be a 10-min drive to the amenities. Drive (2-3 min) or walk (10-15min) to the quietest part of the beach where you can see both the splendid sunrises and the striking sunsets. The home is outfitted with all basic conveniences down to the bath towels, bed linens, cleaning supplies, paper products and even condiments in the refrigerator. Open, cavernous floor plan, comfortable living area, and cozy bedrooms for your time away from the beach. Puzzles, books, games, wi-fi, and TV's in every bedroom for your entertainment. Even a cute little "leave a book, take a book" box on the walk to the beach.

Bedroom 1, the master, includes a King bed and double vanity, with a double head shower bigger than you can imagine!
Bedroom 2, with a Queen bed includes a dresser to unpack all those clothes and feel like you actually live there rather than living out of a suitcase.
Bedroom 3, with 2 double beds accepts for those who like to share a room sleep-over style.

Bathrooms: both contain towels, basic soaps/shampoos and select toiletries in case you forget what you need, or simply to lighten your load when packing. The master includes a HUGE shower with two shower heads!

The front porch and the back screened-in porch make for great conversation, book reading, appreciating drinks or just winding down.

Below the home, aside from plenty of parking, there is a gas grille, a Blackstone flat top griddle, and an electric smoker available for responsible use. There is also an outdoor shower for rinsing off all that additional beach sand.

Paid parking is required at all beach tons. For details, go to oakislandnc.gov

Rental home tips:

When to book a Carolina Beach rental home & When to go:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserve your rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book 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 manager if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose dates and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. A Shore Escape - new to rental market! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is right for your group.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your contract.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good feedback to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
