What more could you look for in a beach home? This extravagant home is the ideal place to relax and relax. The Sand Bunker is cavernous enough for even the biggest of families. A roomy, open floor plan between the kitchen, dining, and living rooms allow family members to stay connected, even when doing different activities.

The two bedrooms on the first- floor offer a king-sized bed and a queen-sized bed. The two bedrooms on the second floor provide a king-sized bed and a bunk room. A sizable second story loft serves as a second living space, ideal for playing games at a game table.

A full- sized washer and dryer are tucked away in the laundry closet off the kitchen. Last, a powder room off the kitchen keeps the en suites private.

There is a private dock that connects the home to a channel that reaches the Intracoastal Waterway. Using this, you can fish, kayak, paddle board, jet ski, and boat at your convenience. The opportunities are really countless! An outdoor shower located at the rear of the home accepts you to wash away the sand and salty water after a fun day at the beach.

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

When to go & When to book:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Carolina Beach area. To find the most suitable rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas 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 Carolina Beach visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Filter your search:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Ready for your Family Retreat - Private Canal Access & Steps from the Beach has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the host before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. message the rental manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
