Welcome to your next great family vacation! We think you will appreciate staying at our home and appreciating all of the fun in the sun that Pleasure Island has to offer. Here's why.

1. It's hard to beat the location.

Our home sits across the street from the bay and just one short block from the beach. We timed our walks with two young kids: 2 mins. and 45 seconds from our driveway to the sand! You'll walk about the same distance to launch your kayak or paddle board at the public access point on the bay. Great eateries like Britts Donuts and all the fun of the Carolina Beach Boardwalk are only 0.7 miles away.

2. The vistas are amazing.

Appreciate a morning cup of coffee or evening sunset as you watch the boats sail past from one of our massive decks that overlook the water. Head out to the comfortable deck facing the ocean and listen to the waves, or escape to the crow's nest above the top floor and take in a full view of the ocean and Carolina Beach.

3. You'll have no trouble parking.

When you drive up, you'll find 100 feet of private parking in the carport and driveway—enough for 5-6 cars depending on what you drive. The carport also has plenty of space for storing any beach chairs and toys you bring from home. And unlike most properties in the area, we have a backyard that's ideal for games and calming.

4. You'll have access to a private elevator.

Our unit occupies the top 2 floors of a 3-story building, and the building itself is lifted. Walk up two flights of stairs or ride the private elevator from the carport to get to the main entrance on the 2nd floor or the 3rd floor living space.

5. There is a room for everybody...

Our home has 5 bedrooms (11 beds) and 5 full bathrooms.

Main floor:
BR1 has a king bed, sleeper couch, enclosed full bathroom, and it opens onto the deck
BR2 has a queen bed and enclosed full bathroom

Top level:
BR3 faces the bay and opens up onto a 32x8 deck. This room is set up like a second living room and has more than 400sq ft of living space. Two couches in front of the fireplace open into beds. Across the room, you'll find a double bed and a single bed near the entrance to the enclosed full bathroom. There is also a rollaway twin in the closet. The room comfortably sleeps 8—a ideal spot for kids.
BR4 has a king bed and an enclosed full bathroom with hallway access
BR5 has a queen bed and a sleeper couch

6. ...and everybody will have a seat at the table.

On the main level you'll find an open floor plan kitchen and living room that opens onto another 32x8 deck. The indoor dining table seats 10, and there is additional seating for 6 at the bar, 6 at the game table in the living room, and 14 on the deck. No one will have trouble finding a seat! The kitchen has everything you need to make simple meals and enough serving dishes, glassware, and silverware for 18.

7. Our home is family friendly.

If you have kids, you'll find that our home offers a few family-friendly perks that most other places do not. In addition to a closet full of toys and games that your kids can appreciate—and an Xbox hooked up to the TV in the upstairs bedroom/living room—we have multiple things that parents will savor:
* Pack-and-play (sheet not included)
* Infant monitor
* White noise machine
* Retractable gates attached to the top and bottom of the stairs
* Convertible booster seat (6 months to 4 years)

8. We have tons of amenities to make your stay fun and cozy, including starter amounts of dishwasher pods, dishwashing soap, whole bean coffee, creamer, sugar packets, and 2-in-1 body wash+shampoo.

But it's important to note that bath towels and bed linens are NOT supplied. If you want to save some money and bring what you need from home, be our guest. You are welcome to use the washer and dryer on the main floor (just remember to bring detergent). We have pillows for 18 (all with protective covers) and comforters.

If you'd rather have fresh towels, linens, and bathmats waiting for you when you arrive, we can connect you with our local partner Oceanside Linens. They make it simple to customize your towel/linen rental order online and pay directly.

Alternatively, we can take care of everything for you if you add Oceanside's Premier Linen package to your reservation. This $350 rental package includes bath towels for 18, 5 bath mats, and fresh linens for all 11 beds.

Our top Cape Fear area rental home tips:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in Carolina Beach. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting and booking the bestrental:

• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 3600sqft, 5bath, 5br, 11 bed, elevator, <600ft to beach, between ocean and canal has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
