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.

How to book the best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your Cape Fear area rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the best vacation rental:

• Start by having your family commit to dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. 3600sqft, 5bath, 5br, 11 bed, elevator, <600ft to beach, between ocean and canal has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is right for your group.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges applied to your contract.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the host immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
