The top deck has spectacular ocean vistas to the north and south and the living room has great sunrise vistas. Brand new stainless appliances and a entirely outfitted kitchen.

This bedroom also has a deck off of it with ocean vistas. The lower level has 3 bedrooms, 1 king and 2 queens. It also has the kitchen, dining room with a table for 8, a full bath, the living room, another dining/game area for 4, and a covered porch.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Carolina Beach rental experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking a perfect Carolina Beach rental:

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Steps to the Beach, Ocean Views, Ocean front lot has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you crave, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
