Summer Sea offers guests a private pool, elevator and keyless entry near Saint James by the Sea. The aqua exterior echoes the broad vistas of the Atlantic Ocean off the wraparound, first floor covered porch and second floor deck. Ample outdoor furnishings encourages guests to maximize their time outside, whether catching rays in a lounge chair by the pool or greeting the morning in a brightly colored Adirondack rocker while sipping your morning coffee.

With an inverted floor plan, multiple sliding glass doors and huge picture windows, guests won’t miss the view when they step into the open concept living area. Here, guests can gather on the sectional couch, around the dining table (which seats 10) or in the u-shaped kitchen (with seating for three more at the counter). Stainless appliances, cherry cabinets, solid surface countertops and a tile backsplash set the stage for preparing memorable family meals. There is a second living area located on the first floor with a wet bar.

Notable tech offerings include TV's in all rooms, wireless internet and convenient lamps with constructed-in charging stations (the latter is in two of the bedrooms). Other amenities include an enclosed outside shower and covered parking on the ground level.

The seasonal pool is typically open May 31st through October 15th each year.

Strategies for getting the perfect Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To find the best value, consider changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Summer Sea: Ocean Views Abound at this Colorful Rental with Private Pool and Ele has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your contract.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the rental manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
