Abundance on the Rocks - Pet Friendly! - Vacation rental home in Carolina Beach, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 7
• 3 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 1200 square feet

Abundance on the Rocks is our oceanfront bungalow with an enormous front porch just feet from the crashing waves. Open the sliding glass doors by the dining room table to feel like you’re picnicking on the sand, or stretch out on the couch and watch swaying sea grass, rolling sand and miles of ocean. This year the state of North Carolina brought in tons of sand, so our beach is humongous!
Three bedrooms and one bathroom (plus an outdoor hot shower with privacy), each room has its own climate control, so the front of the home can be opened to the sound of waves while the back bedrooms stay cool and serene.

The deck has a table for eating, chairs for calming and still there’s room to play. 
Under the home is a shaded swing to relax and read a book or wait for the grille to finish off your dinner. A few paces towards the ocean and you come to the fire pit. With fires prohibited on all public beaches, having your own private oceanfront place to roast hot dogs under the stars is a an uncommon luxury.
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. Off season fires are allowed in Freeman Park.
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.

The home is oceanfront, with an unobstructed view north and south also. Do note that there are enormous 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 can either walk through/across the rocks which is simple as long as your balance is not compromised by age or an injury. Or you can walk two tons to the south and use the public access.

How to get the best Southport rental home experience:

Find your best deal:

• Summertime is high season in the Southport area. To get the largest rental within your budget, we suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. 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 high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Filter your rental search:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Abundance on the Rocks - Pet Friendly! has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you long to visit, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the host immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
