This comfortable and stylishly modernized 2 bedroom/2 bath beachfront condo is on the first floor of a well-maintained unit. It is, literally, steps from the pool and the beach. Very few stairs to climb and no need to even put on your flip-flops. The living area features modern furnishings including a queen size sleeper/couch, 42” flat-screen TV with DVD player, modest ipod/MP3 docking station, and a photo-faux fireplace.

Sculpted glass French doors leading to the master bedroom provide privacy while filling the room with light. This room has a king-sized bed and 22" T.V.. The master bath has been completely refreshed with fashion plumbing and a bespoke tile double shower. A touch of cleanly decadence. The second bedroom has a new bunk set, a queen on the bottom and a twin on the top. The guest bath has also been remodeled and features a tub/shower combo, tile floor and wainscoting, and updated vanity & toilet.

The private patio can be accessed from either the master bedroom or the living room. Four bar-height eucalyptus deck chairs make for comfortable seating while you take in the vistas of the dunes and listen to the crashing waves.

The kitchen has also been completely refurbished with new counter tops, floors, lighting, glass tile backsplash, fresh paint, and a bar-height table big enough to seat six for dining or games. It is entirely equipped with everything you will need from a coffee maker in the morning to a blender in the evening.

There is complimentary WIFI and on-site washer/dryer for your convenience. Central heat/air promise year round comfort. Sorry, but our condo association does NOT allow family pets, and there is NO SMOKING.

Along with sand and surf, Carolina Beach offers a wide variety of family fun! The beautiful beach boardwalk is only ½ mile from the condo. It is the ideal place to find beach units, bicycles, golf carts, bars & eateries, and gift stores. During the summer months there are even amusement rides and games. Around the corner are the docks with event boats and no shortage of charter fishing boats to make your angling dreams come true. A few blocks to the north is Freeman Park where you can drive on the wide-open beach for a private sunbathing spot or a nighttime-time bonfire. 4x4s are required.

A short drive to the south end of the island brings you to Ft. Fisher, the site of one of the last battles of the Civil War and the North Carolina Aquarium at Ft. Fisher where you can get up close to sharks, loggerhead turtles, and Luna - the rare albino alligator. Just beyond that you can catch the car ferry across the mouth of the Cape Fear River to the cozy town of Southport with even more shopping, eateries, galleries, and fun.

Thirty mins. inland is the appealing downtown area of Wilmington, NC. Set on the banks of the Cape Fear River, an painless walk along the river boardwalk takes you to stores, eateries, and antebellum homes. Savor a horse-drawn carriage tour, then take the short drive across the drawbridge to visit the USS North Carolina - the WWII era battleship moored permanently within view of downtown.

Come savor a little slice of beach heaven!!

Tips and Tricks to get the very best Wrightsville Beach rental home experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Carolina Beach. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing a perfect Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Steps to the Pool + Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If they are not listed, call the property manager before you book the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or charges applied to your invoice.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. 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 reasonably to solve it.
