Our home is oceanfront in Carolina Beach, North Carolina. It is an older style bungalow constructed in the 1940's and we added a third floor and remodeled in 2003. Complete remodel in spring 2020.

There are great vistas with beautiful porches and decks overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. In the Spring of 2008, the ground floor was added to the rental making it a full home rental. Full kitchen was refreshed on middle floor in 2011 with dishwasher and garbage disposal. All new appliances in 2020. Two master suites with mini refrigerator and coffee/tea bar in one. Bathrooms in the old part of the bungalow were modernized with new tile showers in 2016.

The ground floor does have a separate entrance into a game room with a pool table. We freshly added a spiral staircase leading to the middle floor. This floor has one queen bedroom and full bath. A theater room is located on the ground floor with a big screen intelligent TV, popcorn machine and refrigerator. A new front loading washer and dryer were added to this floor in 2020. There is a queen air bed that can be used in the theater room to sleep 2 kids.

The middle floor has a full kitchen and family room with a newly updated open floor plan, one queen bedroom, and one full bathroom. The living area has a intelligent tv and a game/puzzle table and sectional couch. The dining area has a huge table with seating for 8-10., and additional bar seating for two. The kitchen is entirely outfitted and offers a enormous pantry area and adequate workspace. There is a incredible open porch with rockers and a table/chairs for eating or playing games. There are two outdoor showers; an open shower on the walkway from the beach to rinse off sand, and a closed hot and cold shower to savor your daily shower.

The top floor has two sizable oceanfront King master suites with private baths. Each bedroom opens onto the top porch with a porch swing and loungers. You DO have to walk through one of the bedrooms to get to the interior stairs. There are exterior stairs off the porch as well.

The home will sleep 8 people in beds and two more on an air bed.

This home is located on the north end of Carolina Beach, a quieter and more calming part of the beach. The Boardwalk, fishing pier and charter boats are all within walking distance. Savor the many eateries, kid's activities, and just strolling on the beach! Bicycle, chair, umbrella and boat units are all within one mile of the home. There is a private deck and walkway to the beach, a brick grille and fireplace to prepare out, and everything you need to have a phenomenal relaxing vacation! There are complimentary summer concerts each month, Sunday nighttime family movies at the lake, Thursday nighttime fireworks, as well as a excellent Seafood Blues and Jazz Festival in October.

The NC Aquarium is a short drive as well as the USS NC Battleship Memorial and historic Wilmington! You can take a gorgeous 30 min. ferry ride from Fort Fisher, just a few miles away, to Southport, another historic and handsome town on the water.

Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Finding the best value:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Carolina Beach. To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Some property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

How to choose and book yourvacation home:

• To start, have your family agree to dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Oceanfront House-Sleeps 8-10 Rec Room and Theater Room has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the host before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms 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 fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
