Located just south of the Carolina Beach Boardwalk and a short walk from the famed Ocean Grille Tiki Bar and Carolina Beach Greenway, this two bedroom, two bathroom condo in the Salty Hammocks complex is in the ideal location to relax and relax.

Nearly everything in this unit is brand new and you can see the ocean from nearly every room!! The view from the main living space is literally floor to ceiling with the upsized 3 pane sliding door connecting you to the ocean. The main bedroom suite has gorgeous feature wall with a striking king size platform bed and adjoining full bathroom complete with tub and shower. The second bedroom has an adult size/adult rated full over full bunk arrangement with its own balcony on the west side of the unit. It also features a twin size trundle bed for additional sleeping arrangements for kids.

Since it is so close to the water and on the 3rd floor, the ocean is literally all you can see through the front windows making you feel like you are one with the sea. The stove faces the beach so you can watch the waves while you prepare. The ocean facing deck is bigger than most condos and it is covered which is a rare find for top floor units. This is crucial after a hot day on the beach or when it is raining and you still want to sit outside and gaze into the horizon.

The kitchen features ample counter space, stainless appliances, Keurig coffee maker and seating for 9. A third private balcony off the kitchen lets in more natural light. The kitchen opens up to the main living space so you are never far away from family and friends. The couch in the main living space pulls out to a queen size bed to offer more sleeping options.

The unit is well supplied with plenty of extras including beach gear (beach cart, 6 adult chairs, kids chairs, umbrella, tent, body boards, paddle ball and bocce ball), Home Mini for music/questions/weather, intelligent TVs in every room, white noise machines in both bedrooms, charging station for phones/ipads, Tiki Ring Toss game, books, puzzles, board games, toys, coloring supplies and more! We also provide a Hulu Live TV subscription (over 100 channels, tons of sports/movies) and Disney+. All TVs have constructed in Roku so you can login to your own streaming services as well.

Tricks and tips to get the very best rental experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Southport area. To get the best value, change your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 loved ones at the beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides have coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in the Southport area:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. ~Updated~ Top Floor Oceanfront Penthouse - Pool, Large Deck, Stunning Views!! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is suitable for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
