The space
You will adore the contrast of being right in the center of downtown while being able to walk up to a completely private loft with all the amenities of home. The walls are 12ft tall, providing such a roomy feel. The original floors give this place rather the appeal, and the modern conveniences will make you feel right at home. I LOVE the balcony overlooking Front Street. Talk about just sitting back, calming, people watching, and being able to savor the bustle from above.

Guest access
Entire Place. Quiet hours 10p-8a. No events.

No parking spaces for my loft. I park in the lot behind the building ($13/day) and sometimes find street parking right in front . There are numerous decks around and I just unload in the front (if space accepts) and then I move my car. Street parking is complimentary from 6:30pm-9:00am Monday through Saturday and complimentary on Sunday.

There is a walk up! One flight of stairs, no elevator.

Sleeps 6 means: Two beds (one queen, one king) and one queen air bed. As my spot is so cavernous it comfortably sleeps 6. There is a couch as well which you could always do one on the couch and one on the air bed, I guess it would depend on who draws the short straw in your event or who isn't paying haha. Please disclose all overnight guests as we set up accordingly.

I have a similar unit (more modern in style) exactly adjacent to this unit, within same walk up. If you are booking a bigger event, let me know.

If you have any questions, please message me. I look forward to hosting you!

How to get the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select vacation dates and budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Pet-Friendly Historic Downtown 2BR Loft 1 block from riverwalk, walk everywhere has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or may be applied to your contract.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach attraction you are crazy about, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, note any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the property manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
