From the ocean-view living room to the private balcony, everybody finds something to appreciate at our oceanfront condo. Escape to this first-floor getaway where the beach is just steps outside your door. A cavernous 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 appreciate 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 adore 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 painless 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.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the largest rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your group choose trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Steps to the Beach:Oceanfront - Pools - Prime Spot has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation group.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your contract.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great ratings to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
