I want you to make lasting memories and think of this home as your favorite beach vacation while at Carolina Sea Paws at Carolina Beach, NC. I try to provide most everything you and your family or guests may need, so you can savor taking just 30 steps to the white sandy beach, see the ocean waves, and hear the sounds and smell only the ocean can provide.
When you return from your fun and sun time at the beach, you can appreciate rinse off in your cool outdoor shower area and enjoy the warm breeze. After a refresh, have a family BBQ and enjoy the late afternoon. After you eat and talk about your day, listen to the ocean waves with mood lighting over and around your sitting area outdoors. This would be my ideal first day.
This bungalow has a laid back, friendly & family safe ambiance at my end of the Beach, but you are also close to the action. This unit is a chic open concept, with tasteful beach décor, a sizable L-shaped comfortable couch, and another couch in the "sunroom" area for additional seating. The Den has a 65" TV with a wall fireplace, and all the amenities you will need: i.e. high-speed internet, New HVAC- heat/AC, washer/dryer, linens, soaps, body wash/shampoo/conditioner, well supplied kitchen and dinning area. All three beds are so cozy you may not want to get out of bed, but If you are an early riser, make a pot or pod of coffee and sit on the front deck or go to the beach and watch a handsome sunrise every morning.
You are only 3 blocks from the North End Pier & Grille & 1 mile to the historic Carolina Beach Boardwalk. There you can shop, listen to live bands, dine at a great local restaurant, & eat a famed Britt's Doughnut or Squigley's ice cream for dessert. Go to the beach or walk to the Boardwalk and see fireworks on Thursday nights during the summer, or rent a paddleboard, bicycle, Kayak, or rent the Carolina Sea Paws golf cart to ride around town and park for complimentary. You can even bring a chair and watch an outdoor family movie on the lake at Lake Park every other week.
(Unit Golf cart must be reserved and paid for prior to arrival. Email owner- New Golf Cart, see prices in my photos)
Rain or shine, you will have plenty to see or do or just relax while at Carolina Sea Paws.

Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a Southport rental home & When to go:

• In the Southport area, The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your Southport vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and pick the perfect Southport rental:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. 30 Sec. to Beach, Sun, Sand & Waves & a Family & Pet Friendly Fenced Backyard has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. If not, reach out to the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a particular Southport beach you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
