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 cavernous bar buffet. The new all-stainless steel appliances include a max side-by-side refrigerator, wide view modern microwave, and sizable capacity oven with constructed-in air fryer. Everyone will adore this kitchen, which was professionally designed to be not only handsome but ultra-functional. Step outside the kitchen onto one of two extended decks overlooking our impressive 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 refreshed 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 delightful Intracoastal & marsh, with an ensuite bathroom including a enormous walk-in shower and dual shower heads. A roomy 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 entirely supplied 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.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

Planning and choosing the perfect Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Hobbs Realty - \"O Say Can You Sea\" the beautiful views from this oceanfront 5 bedroom home with a private pool has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach beach you are crazy about, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few problems.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• 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 beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared 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 manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
