About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 1 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Cottage

Escape to our whimsically comfortable 1BR/1BA Airbnb, your private nook in the woods and a laughably short 10-min. jaunt from the beach. Ideal for those who adore golf, or just like to say 'Fore!' a lot, since we're right beside a gorgeous golf course. Oh, and there's a calming park next door for those who prefer their putting green with a side of serene.

Step inside and you'll find a space furnished with comfort and a touch of humor, because let's face it, vacation is serious business. The bedroom, a haven for dreams and occasional snoring, promises restful nights. The bathroom? It's outfitted with essentials and maybe a rubber duck, because why not?

Located in the heart of the hustle and bustle yet somehow as calming as a monk on a silent getaway, our place is near a Whole Foods - for those who like their snacks organic and their breakfasts Instagram-worthy. Local eateries abound for when you feel like dining out and socializing with actual humans.

Don't let the city-center location fool you – the surrounding woods ensure it's so peaceful you can hear a pine needle drop. Ideal for beach bums, golf gurus, park perambulators, or anyone who just wants to chill in the woods (but with WiFi). Book now for a stay that promises relaxation, a dash of quirk, and proximity to pretty much everything!

Strategies to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the best rental home in the Carolina Beach area:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Cozy Getaway - Just 10 Minutes from the Beach & Steps from Golf and Park! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach beach you simply love, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
