Summary:
Oceanfront bungalow with enormous front porch feet from the crashing waves!

Brought to you by Abundance Vacation Units a boutique rental agency. We are close by and available for any needs.

Three bedrooms and one bathroom (plus an outdoor hot shower with privacy), each room has its own climate control to keep everybody comfortable.

You’ll be just two blocks from the northside pier which has its own outdoor tiki bar with live music!

The Space:
This entire striking beach bungalow is for your use only! We newly replaced and repaired the bathroom to address previous guest’s concerns. A sizable deck overlooking the ocean complete with table and chairs and lounge chairs, plus an outdoor shower down on the garage level! Below the home there is plenty of parking for four enormous cars. RVs can also be accommodated.

Guest Access:
Plenty of parking, an outdoor shower, a humongous deck, a fire pit in the sand and a calming porch swing and seating area in the shade under the deck, all the sand out front… Not to mention the home!

We are walking distance to just about everything on the island — a big fireworks display can be seen every Thursday nighttime right from the deck!
There is a weekly craft and farmers market as well as outdoor family movie projections, bingo nights outdoors at the boardwalk, live music... and so much more available by a short walk down the beach.

A brand new play structure has been installed by the lake which is a short walk and viewable from the back windows.

There are private surf and paddle board lessons as well as week long camps also just a short walk down the sand. We are so ideally located, but without the heavy hordes of the hotels.

You can also walk or bicycle to eateries and coffee stores.

We try to keep our calendar refreshed, but Airbnb only lets us work with exactly 365 days at a time. So if you are booking far in advance, please keep in mind that for the middle of summer there may be a seven day limit and Saturday check in and check out will still apply — just send me a fast note and I’ll get back to you.

The Neighborhood:
The Carolina Beach fishing pier is just a few homes to the North. The pier is home to tiki bar, live music, and a modest restaurant.

The access to Freeman Park is also just two blocks away! With a pass you can take your 4 Wheel Drive car onto the pristine sands, set up chairs, fish and savor the vistas. Most years fires are allowed in Freeman Park, but I have heard that the summer of 2021 they will not be accepting fires.

There are coffee stores, eateries, cafés, bicycle units, surfboard units, surfing schools, live music venues, the boardwalk, the famed Britts Donuts... The list goes on and on, and all of these things are within a short bicycle ride of the home. You could also rent a golf cart! That makes even grocery shopping fun.

Getting Around:
Most people bring their cars or rent one at the airport, But another fun alternative is to take a taxi or Uber from the airport and rent a golf cart on the island from SunFun units! You can also rent bicycles or bring your own... or just walk down the beach!

Other Things to Note:
The home is oceanfront, with an unobstructed view north and south also. Do note that there are huge boulders for purposes of keeping down erosion (as seen in the photos). The boulders are between the yard and the beach, so to access the wider sandy beach, guests will walk two tons to the south and use the public access.

Animals are allowed on the property ONLY after agreement with host and pet fee is paid, otherwise any animals are a breech if guest contract and guests will be asked to leave as per Airbnb guidelines.

Interaction with Guests:
Your host is available for questions via text, and most of the time is only 2 miles away, so I can effortlessly come and help in the event of any confusion or problems. Please reach out with any concerns upon arrival. We want you to have a five star stay and can swing by to fix anything that might have been overlooked by the cleaning staff.

Strategies for getting the best Cape Fear area rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• To get the best value, consider changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect rental home in Carolina Beach:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Abundance on the rocks — oceanfront with fire pit! has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the property manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
