Sleek and Modern Oceanfront home: walk to restaurants and boardwalk! - Vacation rental home in Carolina Beach, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 9
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 1500 square feet

This home is filled with all the amenities you could want. We've just installed the very best whole-home water softner and dechlorinater and added a king sized bed and a bigger intelligent tv in the living room. The linens and towels are supplied and of top quality. In wall vacuum and walk in showers, this one floor home is top notch.

With the ocean out your front door and the lake, eateries, coffee stores and boardwalk out your back door (not to mention farmers market, live music and even outdoor movie nights), it's impossible to find a better location than this first floor oceanfront home on a peaceful one way street.

You'll have a boardwalk from your sliding glass doors straight to the waves, and when you've had enough sun and sand you can walk Carolina Beach boardwalk, sip an iced coffee or eat ice cream in the shade. The summer carnival with Ferris Wheel and other rides is a short walk down the sand to the left, and to the right is a beach bar where you can sip drinks on an elevated pier.


You'll see the Carolina beach fireworks from your front porch every Thursday in summer, and in the winter a glance up the beach from your rocker will show you the Christmas lights on the boardwalk where every Friday Santa offers hot chocolate to visitors.


HOME DESCRIPTION

The 3br/2ba home is brand new and decorated in a modern style. We've put a brand new king size bed in the master, and a new queen bed in the second bedroom. Comfy! No family pets, no smoking and no carpet means it's good for people with allergies, and the open plan modern kitchen is a enjoyment to prepare in while still gazing out the windows to the ocean (please note that we've added more silverware and cookware at the request of previous guests).

The master bedroom has windows to the ocean, a delicious king size bed and a enormous walk in tiled shower with bench. The two guest bedrooms, one with a new queen bed and a second with sizable bunk bed and double sized trundle (room sleeps 5) share a modern bathroom with window. Both rooms have vistas to the lake. The home is located on a peaceful one way street. You can rent bicycles and pedal anywhere on the island.

Intelligent tvs, blueray DVD player, internet, full sized washer and dryer, dishwasher, garbage disposal, keruig coffee maker -- all the amenities! We just upgraded the T.V. in the living room to a bigger intelligent tv.

Close by there are paddle board units, surf lessons, bicycles and kayak tours. There are also fishing guides and boat tours available from the harbor a half mile away. Drive down to the aquarium or take the ferry to Southport of the afternoon and have a seafood lunch on the water after walking through historic streets.

Sheets and towels are supplied. Please bring beach towels, beach toys and chairs.

Please note, as stated above, the home is the first floor only. It is cavernous and private, but note that the top two floors (with a separate front door) are occupied by long term renters.

Saturday is our preferred check in and out day over the high season, and normally we cannot stray from that.

How to get the best Southport vacation home experience:

When to reserve a Southport rental & When to go:

• To book the best rental within budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Southport attractions and restaurants. 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 months.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation rental in the Southport area:

• First, have your group agree to a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Sleek and Modern Oceanfront home: walk to restaurants and boardwalk! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If not, call the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• During arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
