From the ocean-view living room to the private balcony, everybody finds something to adore at our oceanfront condo. Escape to this first-floor getaway where the beach is just steps outside your door. A roomy floor plan lets you vacation with a group while still finding space for yourself (we get it!), and bring the family dog with you to discover the beach and breathtaking trails.

Here's how you can spend your hideaway:

* Save a morning to rise early. Trust us: it's worth it for a view of sunrise over the ocean from the private balcony.

* Bring home your fresh catch and prep a seafood feast in the full kitchen with all new appliances. Open a bottle of wine to bribe a few people to help you prep and chop at the pass-through bar.

* No reservation needed for your dining table for six. Wander off the beach and savor a casual dinner in—we hear Michael's famed seafood chowder pairs generously with a bottle of white and countless ocean vistas.

* Rainy day? Get comfortable on the living room couch and find your favorite movie or play a board game while storm-watching over the ocean.

Find tranquility and peaceful in the king-size master suite with its own private bath (the rain-style shower head has gotten rave reviews).

Rest up in the second bedroom with a bespoke queen-over-queen bunk and its own modest balcony. Adults appreciate this space as much as kids do. There's also a futon in the living area for the snorer in your group. ????

We've got you covered with all the fun stuff—like sand toys, coloring books, beach chairs and body boards. And we're equipped with the essentials, too—like a washer/dryer, WiFi, and hotel-quality linens and towels.

WHERE YOU'LL FIND US

We've traveled up and down the North Carolina coast, and we haven't found a town we appreciate more than Carolina Beach. At our condo, all the best spots are within simple reach. Plus, with access to two community pools, you can take a break from the sand and surf to practice your backstroke.

Of course there's the beach just outside your door, but within walking distance there's also Freeman Park for bonfires on the beach, Carolina Beach Fishing Pier, and a cozy downtown with plenty of places to shop or grab a bite. Don't leave without trying a Britt's donut!

Hop in your car (2 parking passes per condo) and drive just a few mins. to Carolina Beach State Park to walk down the Venus flytrap trail, see sea life up close at North Carolina Aquarium, or take a local tour to Shark Island.

Our top Rental home tips and tricks:

Find your perfect rental:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• First, have your family commit to dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Steps to the Beach:Oceanfront - Pools - Prime Spot has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the host before booking the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
