This property is an refreshed 1930’s beach bungalow located on an ocean front lot and just steps to the beach. We’ve kept the old school vintage appeal but added modern amenities. This home is located on the ocean side of the street but has a home between it and the ocean. The top deck has extraordinary ocean vistas to the north and south and the living room has great sunrise vistas. Brand new stainless appliances and a entirely supplied kitchen.
The space

The two tenants living on the bottom level are extremely peaceful and you won’t even know they are there. Top floor has an open bedroom with a king bed and a bathroom with shower. 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. Each bedroom has its own mini split unit for bespoke temperature control.

This home is a 1930s classic so there are some unique quirks that you will notice. For example there are a few 6ft doorways, so taller guest, please watch your heads. There are also narrow interior stairways.

Strategies to get the perfect Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• To get the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Carolina Beach restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

Make a plan and choose the right Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Select your dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Steps to the Beach, Ocean Views, Ocean front lot has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you book the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your trip.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach beach you long to visit, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
