Summary:
Oceanfront bungalow with enormous front porch feet from the crashing waves!

Brought to you by Abundance Vacation Units a boutique rental agency. We are close by and available for any needs.

Three bedrooms and one bathroom (plus an outdoor hot shower with privacy), each room has its own climate control to keep everybody comfortable.

You’ll be just two blocks from the northside pier which has its own outdoor tiki bar with live music!

The Space:
This entire appealing beach bungalow is for your use only! We newly replaced and repaired the bathroom to address previous guest’s concerns. A huge deck overlooking the ocean complete with table and chairs and lounge chairs, plus an outdoor shower down on the garage level! Below the home there is plenty of parking for four sizable cars. RVs can also be accommodated.

Guest Access:
Plenty of parking, an outdoor shower, a giant deck, a fire pit in the sand and a calming porch swing and seating area in the shade under the deck, all the sand out front… Not to mention the home!

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.

The Neighborhood:
The Carolina Beach fishing pier is just a few homes to the North. The pier is home to tiki bar, live music, and a modest restaurant.

The access to Freeman Park is also just two blocks away! With a pass you can take your 4 Wheel Drive car onto the pristine sands, set up chairs, fish and savor the vistas. Most years fires are allowed in Freeman Park, but I have heard that the summer of 2021 they will not be accepting fires.

There are coffee stores, eateries, cafés, bicycle units, surfboard units, surfing schools, live music venues, the boardwalk, the famed Britts Donuts... The list goes on and on, and all of these things are within a short bicycle ride of the home. You could also rent a golf cart! That makes even grocery shopping fun.

Getting Around:
Most people bring their cars or rent one at the airport, But another fun alternative is to take a taxi or Uber from the airport and rent a golf cart on the island from SunFun units! You can also rent bicycles or bring your own... or just walk down the beach!

Other Things to Note:
The home is oceanfront, with an unobstructed view north and south also. Do note that there are enormous boulders for purposes of keeping down erosion (as seen in the photos). The boulders are between the yard and the beach, so to access the wider sandy beach, guests will walk two tons to the south and use the public access.

Family Animals are allowed on the property ONLY after agreement with host and pet fee is paid, otherwise any animals are a breech if guest contract and guests will be asked to leave as per Airbnb guidelines.

Interaction with Guests:
Your host is available for questions via text, and most of the time is only 2 miles away, so I can comfortably come and help in the event of any confusion or problems. Please reach out with any concerns upon arrival. We want you to have a five star stay and can swing by to fix anything that might have been overlooked by the cleaning staff.

Vacation rental home tips:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Southport area travel guides which include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in Carolina Beach:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Abundance on the rocks — oceanfront with fire pit! has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Is your family looking for specific 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 guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas during arrival. Contact the property manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
