About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Condo
• Approximately 900 square feet

Our condo is freshly remodeled and ready for the summer season! We kept our "beachy" colors but did significant upgrades to kitchen, living area, and bathrooms.
This bright, colorful and decidedly "beachy" oceanfront condo is ideal for a family vacation or last-min. beach trip! Flat screen TV's in the living room and both bedrooms, as well as high speed, secure internet (not shared with the rest of the building). The Ocean Front master bedroom has a king-sized bed with a new Beautyrest bed, private full bath with rainwater shower and detachable hand-held wand, and access to the oceanfront balcony. There are 2 twin beds In the street-facing second bedroom with access to the full hall bathroom with tub/shower. These can also be converted to a king bed with a converter kit supplied. There is also a queen sleeper couch with upgraded Memory Foam bed in the living room should you need the additional bed space. The oceanfront balcony offers elegant vistas (make sure to catch at least one sunrise on your stay). The kitchen is entirely equipped with everything you need for a week at the beach (and all appliances are brand new), with a Ninja Mega-Kitchen System blender, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, microwave, and J. A. Henckels kitchen cutlery. But, if you'd rather not prepare, there are loads of eateries really close by. Some of our favorites are Kate's Pancake House, Havana's, Michaelangelo's Pizza, Pop's Diner, and of course, the famed Britt's Donuts. And the Veggie Wagon (just across US 421) is a real treat, offering farm-fresh veggies, freshly baked baguettes, deli sandwiches, take-and-bake pizza's, fruit smoothies, and a pretty good selection of beer and wine.
In addition to a great time on the beach, you have access to bicycle units just two blocks away (one of our family's favorite activities is to bicycle down to Fort Fisher and catch the ferry to Southport). The Carolina Beach Greenway is accessible at the lake which is just across the street. Here you will find a nice walking, running, cycling, or skating trail, peddle boat units, and there are family movies every Sunday nighttime.
Two blocks away you will find the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, with stores, eateries, Britt's Donuts and an amusement park. Thursday nights there are fireworks from the boardwalk. See them there, or savor them from the beach or the deck of the condo.
The unit has cavernous covered parking that can accommodate two bigger sized cars or three smaller ones. We've been coming to Carolina Beach for over 20 years and have owned this unit since 2008. It's slow-paced and calming, a ideal location for a family wanting to relax or for a couple looking for a peaceful, charming hideaway. We appreciate spending time here, and we think you will too! Appreciate!

Strategies to get the optimal Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Carolina Beach. To book the largest rental within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Cape Fear area attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 2 BR Condo On the Beach (any closer and you'd need a tent on the sand). has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you reserve the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or applied to your contract.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area attraction you are crazy about, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
