Let the Beachside Breeze caress your face as you sip your morning coffee on the private balcony at this striking, modern condo. Located in the Palms at Long Bay condo complex, you’ll find one of the most private stretches of East Beach only a two-min. walk away while also appreciating painless walkability to shopping, dining, grocery stores, ice cream stores and more. No need to leave Fido behind as this rental accepts up to two dogs per reservation.

The cavernous open-concept living area is designed with flexibility in mind. Savor a favorite show or movie on the enormous flat screen TV from the huge couch. A set of four ottomans provide storage and can act as additional seating or a handy surface for playing one of the included board games- or hand of Texas Hold Em utilizing the available cards and poker chips.

For those who may still have work or school responsibilities during their stay, a desk tucked into the corner provides a convenient work-space. The sturdy dining table is arranged for four, with room to pull up two more chairs and an additional four seats at the adjacent breakfast bar. A card table and four folding chairs are also supplied if more seating is needed.

The kitchen features gleaming wood cabinets and quartz countertops. The glass-top stove makes for simple clean-up after cooking, and this space is completely supplied with everything you need to prepare favorite family meals or the catch of the day. Just across from the kitchen is the laundry closet, equipped with a full-sized washer and dryer conveniently located in the center of the action to help ensure you don’t forget to turn that load of wet beach towels over before heading to bed.

Each of the three bedrooms is equipped with its own flat screen TV, so you’ll never have to argue about what to watch before bed at the end of a long day filled with adventure! The primary bedroom is located just off the living room and provides a king bed as well as a standard futon for calming or additional sleeping space as needed. In addition to a private bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo, this suite features direct access to the unit’s balcony overlooking the pool.

The additional two bedrooms share access to a hall bath beside the laundry closet. This bathroom also features a standard tub/shower combo along with a handheld shower head, an nearly essential tool for rinsing all the sand off of little ones after a day on the beach! Down the hall from the shared bath, you’ll find each bedroom equipped with a twin bed and a queen bed. One room features a bean bag chair that every kid and kid-at-heart will appreciate to flop down onto!

Your private covered balcony overlooks the condo complex’s pool deck below. Complete with outdoor seating, this space is close enough to the ocean that you can hear the crash of the surf and smell the salt in the air. You’ll notice there’s no shortage of the Beachside Breeze this condo is named for! In addition to the seasonal pool and soaking tubs, community amenities include an outdoor shower station and elevators.

When you’re ready to hit the sand, use the included beach cart to haul your gear with ease. Beach chairs and toys are also supplied for your convenience. A short walk along SE 59th Street at the back of the complex provides a fast and easy path to the beach. Because this public access point does not have any parking spaces, it is relatively secluded. To the east, you’ll find one of the most private sections of East Beach thanks to a multiple block stretch of undeveloped scrubland along the dune-line and public access points with limited parking spaces.

In the evenings, walk to eateries like local favorite Thai and Vine, beach stores, an arcade, candy store, ice cream stores and more. And if you'd rather craft the ideal appetizers and drink to appreciate on the beach yourself, Food Lion and the ABC Store are each less than a half mile away. This charming location really does provide the best of both worlds!

Ensure that your next family vacation is a Beachside Breeze and book your stay today!

The Palms pool area also contains one non-heated soaking tub and one heated soaking tub. Neither tub has jets. The pool area is open annually from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Specific condo communities may keep the pool open past Labor Day depending on the homeowner's association's recommendation.

Booking the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To find the best rental for your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking your prefect Carolina Beach rental home:

• First and foremost, have your family choose date ranges and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Beachside Breeze: Modern Condo in Walking Distance to Beach, Dining, Shops has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach attraction you are enamored with, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss 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 comments.
