About this Property

Summary:
This home is gorgeous! It combines crystal chandeliers with stainless steel countertops, open catwalks and a Japanese soaking tub. Please note there is another vacation rental in the same building.

Cavernous, bright and comfortable, there are broad vistas of the sand, sea grass and water from every window. Ocean in the front and Carolina Beach Lake with its paddle boats, ducks, walking path and farmers market in the back. We believe this is the best location on the island!

The Space:
The top two story home is for your exclusive use. There is another, smaller vacation rental on the first floor, but they are two completely independent units with separate heating/air, water, entries, etc.

Brought to you by Abundance Vacation Units an exclusive boutique rental agency, we are close by and available for anything you need.

You will share the garage below the home and the boardwalk out to the ocean, with its wooden benches, foot wash and shower. We even have a kids’s slide, playhouse and swing to round out your ideal vacation spot. There is plenty of space to go around!

Guest Access:
You will have complete access to 2 1/2 levels of home. Everything inside the front door is yours! Three private decks: two facing the ocean and one overlooking the lake. You have your own full laundry room, entryway, two living areas, three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and an enormous kitchen area – all with striking vistas impressive details and roomy lighting. Look out any window to see vistas of water either the ocean or the lake! There’s no comparing it.

The Neighborhood:
We chose to build our home on this particular lot because of its superior location. The front of the home has expansive vistas of the ocean waving sea grass and dolphins swimming past the surfers lined up on the breaks, while the rear windows look out over the lake with its walking path, ducks, and paddle boats.

We are close enough to walk to many eateries, coffee stores, bars, the boardwalk with its arcade and world famed donut shop, gift stores, organic market — the list goes on.

Every Thursday nighttime the town of Carolina Beach puts on a spectacular fireworks display which you can see from any of the multiple porches in the home, or walk down the sand to join the festivities — there is always live music on those evenings.

On weekends you can walk across the street to the Carolina beach lake where there’s a farmers and craft market, often with live music and food stands. One evening a week there’s an outdoor family movie projected on a enormous screen by the lake! Bring a picnic and a chair. It is good family fun.

The list goes on, with the option of renting a golf cart for the duration of your stay. That makes everything more fun! Even grocery shopping.

The North Carolina aquarium is just a few miles down the island, as are the two four-wheel-drive beach accesses. And if you don’t have your own four-wheel-drive that’s no problem, Sun Fun Units rents out jeeps for specifically this purpose! You can rent a jeep and go build a fire on the beach!

We have two fishing piers close by — bring your own poles or rent theirs. You can also charter a fishing boat at the marina.

There’s a ferry to catch down to Southport which is a marvelous day trip with it’s elegant seafood eateries, shopping and historic homes.

The Tony Silvagni surf school is just a stones throw down the beach. No driving needed. They are so friendly and can get anybody standing up on a surfboard with a big grin on their face. They’ll also deliver bicycles, chairs, umbrellas and surf boards right to the door! We highly recommend them!

And when you are tired out from all those activities you can come into the cool opulent surroundings of this home and relax on the couch with a cold drink and still hear the sound of the waves.

Getting Around:
Bringing a car here is best, but then, definitely rent a golf cart from Sun Fun Units on the island, or bicycles from Tony Silvagni Units (he offers board units and stunning surf lessons as well).

Our home has such a great location that you can comfortably walk to bars, eateries and coffee stores. You can always get an Uber or a lift, but calling one of the golf cart taxis for a trip around the island is the most fun! I think it’s about five dollars a person anywhere on the island. All of this information and more will be in the rental home when you arrive.

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

Interaction with Guests:
I like to allow my guests to appreciate the island at their own pace, giving them privacy to relax. I am, however only a text or phone call away and reside on the island in case anyone needs assistance.

Booking the best Southport rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer is high season in the Southport area. To get the best value, try changing your family's Southport vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your family commit to the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Abundance with a View stunning top 2 floors has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to compel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing 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 remedy it.
