Summary:
This home is impressive! 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.

Roomy, 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 handsome vistas gorgeous 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 huge 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 striking 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 marvelous surf lessons as well).

Our home has such a great location that you can conveniently 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 savor 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.

Carolina Beach vacation rental booking tips:

How to get the best value:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the best rental home:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Abundance with a View stunning top 2 floors has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, email the property owner before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you simply love, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Tips for a great stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect your property!
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the host immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peace. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean 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.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
