Our bungalow has been listed 1 year by Vacation Rental By Owner

Avoid the check-in / check-out chaos on Saturdays. Peak season units are from Sunday to Sunday.

Linens are supplied and the beds are made, waiting for you to get here! The bungalow is supplied with the necessities such as beach chairs (at least 4), a corn hole board, some kids' toys, and even a spice cabinet for your convenience to complement your stay.

All kitchen appliances (except the microwave) were replaced in March of 2024. The HVAC system was replaced in December 2024. The refrigerator even has a dual-capacity ice maker.

Majestic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean! Sip on your favorite morning drink and watch the sunrise. In the winter, you could watch the sunrise and the sunset from the ocean-side deck! Of course, you could take a few steps down the boardwalk to the beach and have solitude during the sunrises and sunsets.

Keep the lights off and stargaze at nighttime. Have you ever used the "SkyVue" app on your phone?

Have a modest sailboat or catamaran? Unload/Load once near the pier and leave it between the dunes and the boardwalk during the nighttime while you stay there!

The beach is wide during low tide which provides great opportunities for shelling, walking, or running the beach. And a shower is just a few steps away to rinse off when you get back.

Being that this location is one of the less populated areas of the beach, there is minimal competition to get the ideal location on the surf to set up your "stuff" on the beach.
A great place for games on the beach. When it comes time to get off the beach for the day, all that stuff can be left inside the dunes and near the steps to the boardwalk without bringing it back to the home. Setups can't be any easier!

Do the kids want to putt-putt? Go get ice cream? Go to the pier? It's a short walk to those destinations. A golf cart is not needed.

Want to stay at home and not go out to eat? Downstairs is set up with gas and charcoal grilles and a great place to savor happy hours as meals are prepared. We also have a propane burner and a big pot for shrimp boils. It is also a great place to play games (corn hole) if it's raining.

The outside shower is roomy and private.

Extensive living area, 4 bedrooms / 2 baths upstairs. 2 bedrooms / 1 bath downstairs. Sleeps, 13 people. We call one of the downstairs bedrooms the honeymoon suite - this bedroom makes it possible to get away from some of the hustle and bustle if you're there with a bigger crowd.

Decks are on the front and rear of the bungalow. The ocean side decks have gates to keep what's on the decks (kids and family pets) on the decks.

A washer and dryer are included downstairs in the storage room.

Ample parking for 7 to 8 cars.

You will receive additional correspondence from me with more info a few weeks before your scheduled arrival. I will send it to your e-mail address.

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 pets, the $100 administrative fee will be refunded to you after your stay.

Ocean Isle Beach rental home tips:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your Carolina Beach vacation home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guides which often include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership 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.

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Dog-Friendly, No-Smoking, Ocean Front Cottage, Center of the Island has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is right for your group.

• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to 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.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to inspire more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
