Located among the oaks and on the Intracoastal Waterway, Whitecaps offers a peaceful, calming coastal getaway full of amazing vistas and unique amenities to make the memories last forever.

The enormous waterway facing deck highlights the property with plenty of Adirondack furnishings for relaxing while you watch the boats sail by on the Intracoastal. If you are looking to hit the water, the public boat access is just three blocks away!

Kids and adults alike will appreciate the downstairs game room finished with corn hole boards, a pool table and a ping pong table!

The interior welcomes you into the main living area, which provides plenty of seating with a huge sectional and two recliners gathered around a huge flat screen TV with streaming capabilities.

The kitchen feeds off the living area and offers a sizable prep and cooking space finished with stainless steel appliances and a dining room table with seating for six. An additional table with seating for eight sits by the wet bar up the stairs!

The master suite flows from the opposite side of the living area. This space welcomes you with a king bed, flat screen TV and immaculate vistas or the waterway. This suite also features a private bathroom with a tub and walk in shower to pair with the dual vanity.

Located just a few steps up, a second living area provides an additional space to relax after a fun day on the island. Two recliners and a reclining couch center the room around a mounted flat screen TV with streaming capabilities.

A mini wet bar caps off this space with an array of beverage glasses, a full refrigerator, full sink and ice maker.

A pair of queen bedrooms feeds from the second living space and offers a comfortable getaway to go along with a shared bathroom and TVs in each room.

The second level homes the final two bedrooms, furnished with a king bed and flat screen TV in each to pair with the shared bathroom.

A jumping off point for exploring the outdoors is just a few properties over where you can rent kayaks and paddle boards from the Long Beach Paddle Company! There are even racks on the dock to store all the toys! Note the boat lift if not for guest use.

Want another option for exploring the island? An owner-included 2022 six seat golf cart with Bluetooth and a backup camera can be rented for an additional fee of $450 per week. The golf cart has a town parking decal to make driving around the island much easier for you.

Memories are ready to be made during your next stay at Whitecaps!

Though family pets are not allowed, please note that dogs may be present during an owner stay for those guests who are allergic to pets.

Tips and Tricks to get the very best Carolina Beach rental experience:

Get the best rental home value:

Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Reserve your Carolina Beach rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the perfect rental home:

Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Whitecaps: Intracoastal Waterway Home with Pool Table, Ping Pong, Dock has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before you book the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your group.
Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
Does your group require special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More tips for your visit:

Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local attractions.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
