Ready for Summer 2024: Brand new expanded kitchen and 2-level deck! The new bespoke kitchen features ocean-blue cabinets, a bigger island, a roomy pantry, and a roomy bar buffet.

Everyone will adore this kitchen, which was professionally designed to be not only charming but ultra-functional. Step outside the kitchen onto one of two extended decks overlooking our handsome Holden Beach. These furnished decks allow more family and friends to sit back and relax while watching the ocean waves roll in by day or gaze at the twinkling stars by nighttime.

In addition to the kitchen and deck, this oceanside home features attractively modernized first-floor bedrooms (2K, 2Q, 2T, 1QSS), including two primary bedrooms. O Say Can You Sea is located on the west end of the island with a private oceanside swimming pool (open from Easter - October) and an outdoor shower. The second primary suite overlooks the striking Intracoastal & marsh, with an ensuite bathroom including a sizable walk-in shower and dual shower heads. A cavernous 5th bathroom in the front bedroom offers a tiled shower & Carrera vanity. Unwind on plush couches in the living room, or savor the ocean breeze in the polywood furnishings on the pool deck.

You will appreciate the rainhead showers, a first-floor washer & dryer, and southern white rockers for appreciating the front screened-in porch. The second living area on the first floor is ideal for the kids to watch TV & play games. Appreciate the completely outfitted kitchen with two blenders, wine glasses and corkscrews, a crockpot, and plenty of pots/pans/baking sheets. The swimming pool features an extended deck and pergola. There is a sitting niche upstairs overlooking the marsh, which is ideal for curling up with one of the new books or games added to the home.

You'll also find flat-screen TVs in all rooms and high-speed Wi-Fi for your enjoyment. This beautiful beachfront home is near an inlet. The distance between the beach & ocean is subject to change. Due to high tides and forces of nature, tidal pools may exist in natural settings on the island. Oceanfront properties close by are subject to rapid and substantial changes in dune structure & distance to the beach strand.

Embrace the warmth of southern 'Hobbspitality'! Savor a welcome set of starter amenities, including one roll of paper towels, trash bags, laundry and dishwasher pods, dish soap, and a sponge. All bathrooms include one roll of toilet paper, trash bags, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion, makeup wipes, and bar soap. Your beds are made with fresh linens and a lightweight blanket, so you can jump right into making memories rather than making beds! While we provide a lightweight blanket, we urge you to bring additional layers for your comfort. Please note that while top bunk beds, trundles, sleeper couches, futons, and daybeds will not be made, we will provide fresh linens for them.

As a gift to you, this home offers a $250 credit for you to select top-quality beach gear for your vacation stay. You can choose from a range of items including bicycles, kayaks, paddleboards, body boards, and more. Simply select the gear you want for your vacation at least 48 hours before your scheduled check-in date, and VayK Gear will take care of the rest! Please note, a modest delivery fee may apply.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserve your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select your vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Hobbs Realty - \"O Say Can You Sea\" the beautiful views from this oceanfront 5 bedroom home with a private pool has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Know before you go:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to inspire new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
