This very private, dog friendly Harbour Village charmer, located on a peaceful cul-de-sac, abuts Bald Head Creek, and astounds with spectacular marsh perspectives. As you step under the arbor, through the white picket-fenced yard, you'll perceive gentle ocean breezes as you alight to the covered front porch and into the comfortable entry of this reverse floor plan. To the left you'll find a sunny corner suite with two Twins and a full bath (with tub) which also opens onto the hall. Beyond, a light-filled bayed Queen bedroom, with a sliding door, grants access to a waterside covered porch and sun deck. This is the ideal spot for dipping toes or communing with the Island's natural inhabitants. At the end of the hall, the Queen Owner's Suite's two walls of glass doors delight with panoramas of sun shining off the water of the Island's grand marshes. Grab an Adirondack just outside on the semi-covered deck and while away the hours. This suite also homes a enormous Master Bath with his and her vanities, a water closet, a shower, and a sizable walk-in. A laundry completes this level.

At the top of the stairs, a roomy kitchen overlooks the sun-drenched vaulted living and dining areas which are surrounded by windows. A infant huge sits in a bright bay just across from the charming dining space. Nearby, the generous living area, anchored by a slated fireplace, is very inviting but what steals the show are the halcyon Island prospects everywhere you look. Savor these inside or on this level's bowed, semi-covered porch. It's an impressive place to watch the morning sunrise or relax with an afternoon treat and it even renders glimpses all the way to Sunny Point! So attractively located and appreciating proximity to the marina, stores, and eateries-as well as providing a four-passenger cart for guest use and including WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends-Au Beau Marais will assure you un Beau Moment (a good time) on your vacation! (The crofter is not part of the rental unit.) An additional $300 nonrefundable pet fee is required for each guest dog.

Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Carolina Beach area. Book your rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides which often include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best vacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Waterfront Harbor Home! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you love, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address 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.
