About this Property

• Sleeps 9
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Summary:
The first story of a three story structure, this 3 bed 2 bath home is light, modern and airy.

Hosted by Abundance Vacation Units, staying here is a dream: beachfront vistas and access to the shore by our structure’s private boardwalk with foot hose, outdoor shower and benches.

You will have the ocean out front and the lake with farmers market, paddle boats and playground out back.

We even have a kid’s play home swing and slide on the sand.

The Space:
You have full use of the first floor home. It is entirely self contained. There is another unit that occupies the upper two floors, and they will share the parking below the home and the boardwalk out to the ocean.

Guest Access:
You have full access to the first floor home and porch. There is a alluring kid’s play area on the sand below the boardwalk with slide, swing and clubhouse. That is available to everybody in the home. There are full laundry facilities inside the home. You may also store your boards, bicycles and beach chairs below the home in the carport.

The Neighborhood:
We are walking distance to just about everything on the island — a big fireworks display can be seen every Thursday nighttime right from the deck!
There is a weekly craft and farmers market as well as outdoor family movie projections, bingo nights outdoors at the boardwalk, live music... and so much more available by a short walk down the beach.

A brand new play structure has been installed by the lake which is a short walk and viewable from the back windows.

There are private surf and paddle board lessons as well as week long camps also just a short walk down the sand. We are so ideally located, but without the heavy hordes of the hotels.

You can also walk or bicycle to eateries and coffee stores.

We try to keep our calendar refreshed, but Airbnb only lets us work with exactly 365 days at a time. So if you are booking far in advance, please keep in mind that for the middle of summer there may be a seven day limit and Saturday check in and check out will still apply — just send me a fast note and I’ll get back to you.

Other Things to Note:
We also supply the following for each property:
A starter kit of one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, a trash bag, and dish soap. We also supply laundered bed linens, comforters, and 1 bathing towel and wash cloth per person. We do not supply any beach gear or beach towel. We have great rental companies on the island we would be more than happy to share the info with you. We also do not supply laundry detergent, body soap or shampoo/conditioner as we find everybody has their own preferences for these =) Please review our home rules prior to your stay

Carolina Beach rental home tips and tricks:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing yourvacation home:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Abundance in the Sand: one story, modern and clean has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you simply love, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
