The Space:

Designed for comfort and relaxation, we chose a layout and amenities we would hope for in a vacation rental.

The reverse style floorplan of the home makes it ideal to share with friends and family and provides better vistas of the ocean and sunrises from the top floor.

The lower level is where you access the home, and also features a covered parking area, outdoor shower and half bath which is convenient during beach days. The home also has an elevator, which makes it convenient to move your supplies and suitcases, or for people who have difficulty with stairs.

On the main floor, there is a master bedroom with full bath and a covered walkout porch. Down the hall is the first of two spare bedrooms with a bunk bed - full on the top, full on the bottom. The second of two spare bedrooms also features a bunk bed - single on the top, full on the bottom. The spare bedrooms share a full size bath located between the two rooms. The main floor is also where the laundry room is located, with front-loading washer and dryer.

On the top floor you'll savor a completely furnished, cavernous kitchen with a dual stove and gas cooktop, plentiful cabinet space, a enormous granite countertop and stainless steel appliances. We've also had a whole home Kinetco water filtration and reverse osmosis system installed. Just beyond the kitchen is an open dining area, game table and living room with huge screen intelligent TV. Outside the living room is a walkout covered porch to appreciate the weather or watch the sunrise! Also on the top floor is a bedroom with queen-size bed and a full bath.

Guest Access:

While you're staying here, the home will be your private beach getaway. You'll have access through the main door or via the elevator, whichever is easiest and most convenient for the guests.

Interactions with Guests:

For check-in, you will receive a personalized keyless entry code for the door on the lower level. Once inside, we'll provide a key for the door to access the elevator. You can arrive anytime after 4 PM on your first day and leave by 11 AM on your last day.

Though we will not be at the home during your stay, we are only a text or phone call away. We have pulled together a list of our favorite local spots and adventures which will be included to you to help make the most of your stay.

Other Things to Note:

Please bag all your trash / recycling and make sure to put it in the proper container located in the parking area during your stay and upon departure. If you would like additional cleaning service during your stay, that can be arranged after booking and before your stay for an additional fee.

The home is also our personal vacation home and one we plan to pass down the family, so please treat it as you would your own, leaving it in the same or better condition than you found it (minus the cleaning, which the crew will take care of for you).

Tips to get the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Summer is high season in Carolina Beach. To find the best value, change your family's Cape Fear area vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Townhouse a block from beach, Ocean facing, EZ Access elevator, Covered parking! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.

Advice for your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the host right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
