About this Property

• Sleeps 7

Summary:
This home is striking! It combines crystal chandeliers with stainless steel countertops, open catwalks and a Japanese soaking tub. Please note there is another vacation rental in the same building.

Cavernous, bright and comfortable, there are broad vistas of the sand, sea grass and water from every window. Ocean in the front and Carolina Beach Lake with its paddle boats, ducks, walking path and farmers market in the back. We believe this is the best location on the island!

The Space:
The top two story home is for your exclusive use. There is another, smaller vacation rental on the first floor, but they are two completely independent units with separate heating/air, water, entries, etc.

Brought to you by Abundance Vacation Units an exclusive boutique rental agency, we are close by and available for anything you need.

You will share the garage below the home and the boardwalk out to the ocean, with its wooden benches, foot wash and shower. We even have a kids’s slide, playhouse and swing to round out your ideal vacation spot. There is plenty of space to go around!

Guest Access:
You will have complete access to 2 1/2 levels of home. Everything inside the front door is yours! Three private decks: two facing the ocean and one overlooking the lake. You have your own full laundry room, entryway, two living areas, three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and an enormous kitchen area – all with handsome vistas gorgeous details and roomy lighting. Look out any window to see vistas of water either the ocean or the lake! There’s no comparing it.

The Neighborhood:
We chose to build our home on this particular lot because of its superior location. The front of the home has expansive vistas of the ocean waving sea grass and dolphins swimming past the surfers lined up on the breaks, while the rear windows look out over the lake with its walking path, ducks, and paddle boats.

We are close enough to walk to many eateries, coffee stores, bars, the boardwalk with its arcade and world famed donut shop, gift stores, organic market — the list goes on.

Every Thursday nighttime the town of Carolina Beach puts on a spectacular fireworks display which you can see from any of the multiple porches in the home, or walk down the sand to join the festivities — there is always live music on those evenings.

On weekends you can walk across the street to the Carolina beach lake where there’s a farmers and craft market, often with live music and food stands. One evening a week there’s an outdoor family movie projected on a enormous screen by the lake! Bring a picnic and a chair. It is good family fun.

The list goes on, with the option of renting a golf cart for the duration of your stay. That makes everything more fun! Even grocery shopping.

The North Carolina aquarium is just a few miles down the island, as are the two four-wheel-drive beach accesses. And if you don’t have your own four-wheel-drive that’s no problem, Sun Fun Units rents out jeeps for specifically this purpose! You can rent a jeep and go build a fire on the beach!

We have two fishing piers close by — bring your own poles or rent theirs. You can also charter a fishing boat at the marina.

There’s a ferry to catch down to Southport which is a marvelous day trip with it’s superb seafood eateries, shopping and historic homes.

The Tony Silvagni surf school is just a stones throw down the beach. No driving needed. They are so friendly and can get anybody standing up on a surfboard with a big grin on their face. They’ll also deliver bicycles, chairs, umbrellas and surf boards right to the door! We highly recommend them!

And when you are tired out from all those activities you can come into the cool opulent surroundings of this home and relax on the couch with a cold drink and still hear the sound of the waves.

Getting Around:
Bringing a car here is best, but then, definitely rent a golf cart from Sun Fun Units on the island, or bicycles from Tony Silvagni Units (he offers board units and magnificant surf lessons as well).

Our home has such a great location that you can comfortably walk to bars, eateries and coffee stores. You can always get an Uber or a lift, but calling one of the golf cart taxis for a trip around the island is the most fun! I think it’s about five dollars a person anywhere on the island. All of this information and more will be in the rental home when you arrive.

Other Things to Note:
We also supply the following for each property:
A starter kit of one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, a trash bag, and dish soap. We also supply laundered bed linens, comforters, and 1 bathing towel and wash cloth per person. We do not supply any beach gear or beach towel. We have great rental companies on the island we would be more than happy to share the info with you. We also do not supply laundry detergent, body soap or shampoo/conditioner as we find everybody has their own preferences for these =) Please review our home rules prior to your stay

Interaction with Guests:
I like to allow my guests to appreciate the island at their own pace, giving them privacy to relax. I am, however only a text or phone call away and reside on the island in case anyone needs assistance.

Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking your Carolina Beach vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Abundance with a View stunning top 2 floors has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your contract.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from 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 your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
