If you're looking for an oceanfront stay in one of the best locations on Carolina Beach with awesome ocean vistas then look no further! Our unit is in the heart of Carolina Beach with walking access to the boardwalk, downtown, and local eateries! Parking in CB is hard to find downtown and is pricey, so just park for the week and walk everywhere! We are steps from the Boardwalk and downtown eateries.

Savor coffee on the deck to sunrises, and beach access just 20 yards from our steps! Our unit is filled with sunshine and ocean vistas out every window! This preferred condominium will sleep up to 4 people (two on sleeper couch) and is ideal for a charming hideaway or a modest family. There is a space in the bedroom the ideal size for a pack and play, or toddler to sleep.

The elegant wide beach is just steps from our beach closet, which holds two "Tommy Bahama" chairs for your use, and we have a lifeguard station directly in front of us, along with great shelling and surf lessons right in front too!

The bedroom has 2 windows, one with a great ocean view, one facing sound side, and a queen bed. Multiple windows in the living area make it feel as if you are right on the beach! You can watch summer months, Thursday nighttime fireworks from the deck, and the living room and deck offer a striking, unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean and miles of beach. The sunrises are AWESOME!

Carolina Beach is the idyllic sleepy, friendly and safe little beach town, yet it features tons of activities to fill your vacation! Whether on a romantic hideaway, or with the kids, the freshly remodeled boardwalk area, (which is a half-block from our condo) has something for everybody--swings to watch dolphins swim by, live bands, carnival rides, Britt's Donuts, and tons more! In the summer months, activities are scheduled every nighttime, such as bingo, bands, and fireworks on the beach. Family movies are shown on the lake--also within walking distance--on Sunday evenings and are great family fun, as is a walk on the Kure Beach Pier, just down the road. This sleepy little town makes for a sweet hideaway for couples as well with romantic nights on the deck, great sushi, and craft beers, and fun trips into Wilmington for tapas and touring.

The ocean view bedroom has a queen bed. Crisp clean sheets, fresh towels, and a fresh bathmat are included with the cleaning fee, all in a tote when you arrive. There is a sleeper couch with an air/coil bed that can be adjusted to comfort in the living room. We keep our place immaculate, just as we would want if we rented, and as you should expect.

There are just nine units in our building, which is the closest building to the beach on the island. Our 3rd-floor condo (walk up! Keep in mind when booking) has expansive vistas which are spectacular. There are no buildings or streets directly behind us so our building is very peaceful. Great shelling and surf lessons right in front too!

Please see the photos to see just how close we are to the newly modernized boardwalk area! Our condo has freshly been redecorated, including fresh paint, floor, and a new bathroom and appliances including washer dryer. The building has newly been painted.

We have 2 cable TVs, full wireless internet, and cable. Our deck has 2 pub-height chairs with a matching table where you can appreciate drinks and view the fireworks! We have a storage closet at beach level, where you will find beach chairs, and be able to store your items safely. There is a ground-level shower just below the building. Just bring your beach towels and swimsuits, we have everything else you might need. We have two sizable designated uncovered parking spots with our unit (NOTE: no golf carts, boats, or motorbikes are allowed.)

There is so much to do at Carolina Beach! The North Carolina Aquarium is at the south end of the island next to historic Fort Fisher. Daily programs include divers who swim with sharks and a touching pond for the kids. Just north of our condo is the marina with daily departures on fishing charters, sunset cruises, dinner cruises, and boat units. A fifteen-min. drive takes you to the city of Wilmington. The historic riverfront downtown has brick streets, waterfront eateries, loads of antique stores, horse-drawn carriage rides, the battleship NC, and amazing eateries. Day trips on the ferry to Southport are so enchanting, as is a walk on the pier at Kure Beach! Tony Silvagni teaches all ages to surf right in front of our place. The Carolina Beach State Park hosts stand-up paddling and nature walks. Carolina Beach is bursting with new businesses, breweries, and great food.

You could literally park your car and never use it, as so much, including downtown Carolina Beach, is within walking distance of our place!

We hope you plan your stay with us! We do all we can to make your vacation fabulous. We include a tote with bed linens, bath towels and mat, and kitchen towels with your cleaning price. (PLEASE NOTE, this does not include comforters or blankets.) Please call or contact me with any questions. (There is no pool at our building)

****Please note before renting.... there is definitely NO SMOKING/NO VAPING in our building at all, not on the decks, stairways, or on the property in general per our HOA.

Strategies for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the largest vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the perfect rental:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Walk to the Boardwalk and downtown Carolina Beach! Oceanfront ! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is right for your group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often 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 fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
