This comfortable and stylishly refreshed 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" TV. The master bath has been completely modernized 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 refreshed 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 beautiful 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 for getting the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit Carolina Beach & When to reserve a Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• To get the largest vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Wrightsville Beach attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy 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 Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and choose the perfect Wrightsville Beach rental:

• To start, have your group agree to dates and a max budget.
• Steps to the Pool + Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• If there's an individual Wrightsville Beach attraction you are enamored with, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

During your stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
