BOHO At The Beach, ocean views and pet friendly - Vacation rental home in Carolina Beach, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Condo

Summary:
Bright, airy condo on third floor, one block from the beach. Savor two balconies: one facing east towards the ocean, the other facing west for impressive sunsets. We’re at the North end of the island, right by the entrance to Freeman Park, where you can drive your 4-wheel drive car onto the beach. Both bedrooms have striking vistas; the master looks over the ocean, the guest looks over the marsh. It’s a two min. walk to the beach but there’s a pool right downstairs if you’re feeling lazy :)

The Space:
Boho-beachy furnishings make this condo unique and comfortable. We have two longboard surfboards for guest use (at your own risk). The two balconies allow for a exhilarating cross breeze through the apartment when it’s cool enough to have the doors open. Listen to the ocean on the front balcony in the evening with a glass of wine, or appreciate a cup of coffee in the morning over-looking the marsh from the back balcony. Or stay cool in the cozy A/C, perhaps watching tv and all the streaming services available with our system and high-speed wifi. We have a full kitchen should you want to prepare, but there are magnificent eateries close by within the downtown of Carolina Beach.

The Neighborhood:
We are at the North end of the island, a half a block away from the entrance to Freeman Park.
Freeman Park is a historic location where you can drive onto the beach with your 4-wheel drive car, and bring your dog (on-leash) all year round.
The ocean is a block away, and beach access is very painless to get to, with one of many entrances located right beside the High Tide Parlor.
We’re a mile from downtown Carolina Beach where you will find a ton of eateries, bars, and stores.

Getting Around:
There are two parking spaces for our guests. If you have a four-wheel drive car, you can drive onto the beach at Freeman Park. If you prefer to bicycle or use a golf cart while you’re here, there are many places to rent bicycles in town. Please let your team at Going Coastal know if you need recommendations.

Other Things to Note:
Please note there are three flights of stairs to enter the condo.

We are also pet friendly with an additional $50 fee. Please let us know before arriving

We have great rental companies on the island we would be more than happy to share the info with you. We also do not supply laundry detergent, body soap or shampoo/conditioner as we find everybody has their own preferences for these =) Please review our home rules prior to your stay

Wrightsville Beach rental booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Summer is high season in Carolina Beach. To find the best value, shift your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose and book yourvacation home:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. BOHO At The Beach, ocean views and pet friendly has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Wrightsville Beach attraction you crave, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
