You’ll see it on the way in and out, whether you travel by car, golf cart, bicycle, or scooter! The road is narrow and curvy, and peaceful and peaceful. You’ll wish all roads were this handsome!

GUEST ACCESS:
You'll have enough parking for up to 3 cars to fit comfortably in the natural driveway. The road coming into the property is recognized as being one of the most handsome roads in North Carolina, with a canopy of live oak trees dripping with Spanish Moss. Gause Landing is the site of the famed "George Washington Tree," where our nation's first president visited and vacationed in the 1790s, and you'll drive by it on the way in and out. The road is narrow and curvy, and you'll wish all roads were that beautiful.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
Yes, we advertise that this home "Sleeps 8," and it definitely can and does. 2 queen beds, 1 full bed, and a sleeper couch. However, please keep in mind that the home has one bathroom, and it's only about 1179 square feet total. This home is a "bungalow," and if 8 fully grown adults showed up for a week with 8 fully grown suitcases, then it will definitely be a little cramped. The ideal amount of humans for this size space is probably 6, but it will fit 8, especially if some of those people are not fully grown adults. Pet costs are $75 per dog, and if your OTA does not support multiple pet costs, we will collect it separately before check-in. NO PUPPIES, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Malamutes, and more breeds- PLEASE REVIEW THE FULL LIST OF RESTRICTED BREEDS BEFORE BOOKING.

After booking, we will send you a Red Carpet Rental Agreement to sign to complete your reservation. It's a no-nonsense Agreement that protects the guest, host, and the property, and is allowed within the policies and guidelines of all travel booking platforms. The Agreement will come to you as a link, and we require all guests to sign it to rent any of our properties, no matter where the reservation came from. You will have to upload a copy of your government-issued ID to complete your reservation. This property requires a $300.00 SECURITY DEPOSIT. It will be collected as a credit card hold separately by the property prior to your arrival or at check-in.

"Pack 'n Play" (Travel Crib) available by request, and must be requested at least 48 hours prior to check-in.

**SECURITY CAMERAS DISCLOSURE: For your safety and security, this property—and all properties offered by Red Carpet Furnished Homes—use exterior cameras to monitor outdoor areas, including yards, parking, and entrances.

Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

  • Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • To book the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 the beach.
  • 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 reduced rate.
  • Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
  • Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Filter your search:

  • Start by choosing your vacation dates and a spending budget.
  • Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Dolphin Cove - Dazzling Waterfront Cottage w\/ Dock has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the host before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
  • If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
  • Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
  • Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

More considerations for your visit:

  • Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of issues.
  • Lock your vacation home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
  • At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
  • Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
  • Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
