Sip your morning coffee on the porch swing while watching the waves meet the shore and experience total serenity. You can also savor your evening hors d'oeuvres and drinks on the comfortable patio furnishings while listening to the calming sounds of coastal nature. Make a splash in the private pool or watch as your cares melt away in the Carolina sun while calming on the pool deck! Savor al fresco dinners prepared on the gas grille by the pool. Or enjoy a drink and the sunset around the gas fireplace table during the chillier months! The only thing that competes with the attractiveness of the outside of this home is inside! The open-flow concept of the kitchen, dining, and living areas offers striking vistas of the surrounding scenery. There are literally vistas from every window that showcase the beauty of Holden Beach.

Natural light and coastal chic decor are ample throughout this charming home. In the cavernous kitchen, you will find everything needed to prepare your gourmet fresh catch. You will also find a coffee bar to help get your day of fun started off right with your favorite morning brew. Both a Keurig and drip coffee maker are supplied for your convenience. In the huge dining area, there is seating for four at the high-top bar and six at the striking dining room table. Just up the stairs, you will see your new favorite lounge area in the loft that overlooks even more spectacular vistas through the soaring windows of the great room. The ground level has a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a additional room for the kids to sleep and lounge. This additional room shares the bathroom with the bedroom on that level. There is also a garage area that leads out to the pool with an additional refrigerator to store cool beverages to enjoy in the sun. There is no ice maker in this freezer but plenty of room to store bags of ice that you can purchase locally. The upstairs refrigerator in the kitchen does have a normal ice maker.

The walk to the beach is a breeze. You can either access the beach from the public access across from the entrance to the Dunescape community (Dunescape Drive) or use the Dunescape community boardwalk. This boardwalk can be accessed by taking a right at the end of the driveway onto Windswept Way and following the street to where it intersects with Serenity Lane. The boardwalk is across from the intersection between 2 homes and leads to the beach strand. The Dunescape community also provides a community pool, tennis courts, a basketball court, a sand volleyball court, and beach access from the clubhouse. There is plenty of parking to enjoy these amenities if you decide to drive your car, rent a golf cart, or even take a leisurely walk.

Tips to get the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by having your family choose dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Hobbs Realty - New to the market, \"Carolina Pearl\" offers incredible inlet views and a heatable private pool. has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is best for your group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
