Our beach front 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo is available and ready for your beach vacation! During June, July, and Aug. we require 7 nighttime stays, but we're flexible on the check-in and check-out days. We accept off-season stays for three nights or more. Summer stays less than 7 nights will be considered beginning in June. You can send an inquiry if you have a question, but requests less than the minimum will receive a polite response asking you to consider increasing your stay.

Located adjacent to Freeman Park and north of the Carolina Beach boardwalk area, you'll have everything you need for a fun vacation. Our condo is located in an independent 6 unit structure that has parking for three cars, including a one car garage. Private beach access keeps our area a bit more secluded and quieter than other places. The condo is on the raised first floor, which makes the loading up part of your vacation less grueling and time consuming without sacrificing the gorgeous ocean view from the huge covered porch with plenty of seating.

In 2024, we modernized the master bathroom! The new bathroom includes a bespoke tiled shower, new handsome floor, new vanity, backlit mirror, and shining light. Check out the new photos.

In 2022, we refreshed the patio furnishings, living room furnishings, and upgraded three appliances in the kitchen. Be sure to check out the photos. You'll find open living space with a full kitchen ready for cooking light or big meals, dining space, and living room. The unit has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms with one bath off the master bedroom. Both baths have shower stalls. The hall bath was completely updated in 2020 with an upsized, bespoke tile shower. All beds have been replaced over the past three years. Everything your family, a group of friends, or three couples need for a great get away at the beach.

Outside, you'll find an upsized covered deck for outside enjoyment without having to head down to the beach. Our deck has a patio table and four chairs for dining on one side. On the other side, there's a patio loveseat, table, and four lounge chairs for your relaxation and conversation. There's even festive lights to appreciate the deck any time of day or evening.

A linen package is included in all units from our cleaning service. All bed sheets and bath and kitchen towels will be delivered and set up before your stay. No making up beds when you get here! Beach towels are available to use, but must be washed and dried before leaving, or you can bring your own.

Our story- Soon after purchasing this unit in 2016, we began updating the interior. In 2020, we completely remodeled the hall bathroom adding an upsized bespoke tile shower, installed a new secure storm door, and replaced the queen bed and bed in two bedrooms with new hybrid spring-foam bed. In 2022, we replaced nearly all the outdoor furnishings on the deck, living room furnishings, and kitchen appliances. We use the off season to continually update our place. You are renting directly from us, the owners.

During the summer season, we accept requests that are at least 7 nights. We will accept check-in and out on any day of the week.

Strategies for getting the perfect Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• To find the best value, try shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the perfect rental home in Carolina Beach:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Beach Front w\/ Private Access and Great Ocean Views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your family.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
