About this Property

Welcome to our home, which we’ve dubbed The Gaudy Pelican. Our uniquely bright orange home features extravagant amenities, plenty of spaces to kick-back and relax, a private heated saltwater pool & hottub, and all just steps from the beach! This gorgeous complimentary-standing home offers 4 bedrooms and 3½ baths, ocean vistas, 6 wall-mounted intelligent TVs, an outdoor bar, two sizable decks, a shady lanai, kid’s space, office space, and much more. It’s also only a 1-min. walk to the beach and an painless walk along the beach to the Tiki Bar & Grille. The Gaudy Pelican cannot be matched for location, comfort, and amenities.

As you enter the main floor, you will find your welcome basket, filled with goodies just for you! The living room has vaulted ceilings, plenty of seating, a wall-mounted intelligent TV, and a propane fireplace for those cooler comfortable evenings. There’s even a full-sized pullout couch, just in case. There's a bar height counter and a pantry that features a wine refrigerator. The dining area has an upsized table, a bar table, and tons of windows.

You’ll also find a full bath and a private bedroom, “Tenta-cool”, with a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, window seat overlooking the pool, and a wall-mounted intelligent TV.

Down to the ground level you'll discover a roomy bedroom/playroom, “Turtley Awesome”, featuring a wall mounted intelligent TV, bean bag chairs, toys & games, a triple bunk bed, a single bed, and a pullout couch. There’s plenty of room to play ping pong in the attached garage where you can also store all your beach gear. The garage is also equipped with a beach wagon, chairs, an umbrella, and towels for the beach. We’ve even supplied a few bicycles for getting around town on the many bicycle trails found in Carolina Beach.

Also on the ground floor is an over-sized washer and dryer, iron & ironing board, and drying racks. Less fun but very convenient!

On the second floor is the master bedroom suite, “Crab-ulous”, that has a king-sized bed, a private bathroom with a walk-in rain shower, dual sinks, a cavernous walk-in closet, and its own access to the sundeck.

This floor also contains a second bedroom, “Fin-tastic”, with a king-sized bed, vistas overlooking the pool, and an alcove to read or just hide. The alcove couch is also a pullout bed.

All the way at the top, you’ll find an office set up for your convenience, with dual monitors, wireless keyboard, mouse and fast WiFi. We know it’s your vacation, but sometimes we all need to check in, read an e-mail, take a Zoom meeting, or at least appear to be working. It’s here if you need it. We suggest you don’t. Sit by the pool or wander to the beach. It’s so close!

Our top Carolina Beach rental booking tips:

Find your perfect rental home:

• In the Southport area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. 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 family and friends at the beach.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental home:

• Choose dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Beach House Oasis: PRIVATE Pool\/Jacuzzi, Balconies, Ping Pong, Ocean view has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. 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.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently 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 BBQ?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
