Dog friendly. Majestic vistas of the Intracoastal Waterway! Swims in the canal, kayaking, fishing from the boat dock! The location provides simple access for ocean-bound or waterway fishing trips including day trips to island beaches close by. The beach is a short 10-min. walk. A sizable beach cart is supplied with room for a cooler and beach chairs. There are also 4 beach chairs and a corn hole board available for your use.

When you arrive...
- The prevalent "change-over" day occurred the day before. It is much easier (traffic) to get here.
- Linens are supplied. Not only are the linens supplied, but the BEDS ARE MADE TOO! If RENTED FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK, towels will also be included.
- You discover that all of the basic supplies you will need for your stay are supplied and waiting. Even the spice cabinet is loaded up for your use. Maybe you do not need to go to the store after arrival.
- You have 2 fridges. The downstairs refrigerator is turned down for cold drink storage and has an ice maker. The upstairs refrigerator also has an ice maker and is the place for food storage.
- Since you are arriving on Sunday, not the prevalent "change-over" day, the landing shouldn't be as busy when you go to put your boat in the water. I also suggest loading the boat back on the trailer 11 am and 2 PM on Saturday to avoid the peak time the landing is used.

The front and back decks have been remodeled with cabled railings. There are gathering places on both decks but mainly on the back deck. The back deck has been redesigned to provide more usable space. on the back deck, there is a patio table with seating for 8 people. There is also a picnic table that provides ample seating for 6 people. And there are rockers for people like me who just savor sitting out and watching the boat traffic on the canal and intra-coastal waterway.

The kitchen has been completely modernized with new cabinets and countertops. More storage space was added.

The vanities in both bathrooms have been refreshed.

The old windows have been replaced with "peaceful" and hurricane-rated windows.

Grand living area, 4 bedrooms / 2 baths upstairs / 2 bedrooms / 1 bath downstairs. Sleeps, 13 people. Decks on the front and the canal side of the home upstairs. It also includes a patio and outdoor shower downstairs.

A floating dock at the end of the walkway provides convenient docking space, flounder fishing, or a platform for swims in the canal.

A washer, dryer, AND an additional refrigerator/freezer with an ice maker are supplied downstairs in the storage room.

There is no need to go anywhere else (by land) after arrival. The patio downstairs includes all of the cooking tools needed (grilles, 2-eye gas burner, etc.) to prepare your own feasts.

Ample parking for 6 cars.

NOTE: There is a $100 Administrative Fee (per booking) added to the price for renting our bungalow. If you report to the owner (by e-mail, text, or phone call) that you DID NOT bring family pets, the $100 administrative fee will be refunded to you after your stay.

Finding the best Ocean Isle Beach vacation home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserve your Carolina Beach rental in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early.

• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.

You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Dog Friendly! Non-Smoking. Cottage w\/Dock and Deep Water Access on Natural Canal has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you book the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas during arrival. message the property manager right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
