If you're looking for an oceanfront stay in one of the best locations on Carolina Beach with marvelous ocean vistas then look no further! Our unit is in the heart of Carolina Beach with walking access to the boardwalk, downtown, and local eateries! Parking in CB is hard to find downtown and is pricey, so just park for the week and walk everywhere! We are steps from the Boardwalk and downtown eateries.

Savor coffee on the deck to sunrises, and beach access just 20 yards from our steps! Our unit is filled with sunshine and ocean vistas out every window! This preferred condominium will sleep up to 4 people (two on sleeper couch) and is ideal for a charming hideaway or a modest family. There is a space in the bedroom the ideal size for a pack and play, or toddler to sleep.

The handsome wide beach is just steps from our beach closet, which holds two "Tommy Bahama" chairs for your use, and we have a lifeguard station directly in front of us, along with great shelling and surf lessons right in front too!

The bedroom has 2 windows, one with a great ocean view, one facing sound side, and a queen bed. Multiple windows in the living area make it feel as if you are right on the beach! You can watch summer months, Thursday nighttime fireworks from the deck, and the living room and deck offer a striking, unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean and miles of beach. The sunrises are AWESOME!

Carolina Beach is the idyllic sleepy, friendly and safe little beach town, yet it features tons of activities to fill your vacation! Whether on a romantic hideaway, or with the kids, the freshly refreshed boardwalk area, (which is a half-block from our condo) has something for everybody--swings to watch dolphins swim by, live bands, carnival rides, Britt's Donuts, and tons more! In the summer months, activities are scheduled every nighttime, such as bingo, bands, and fireworks on the beach. Family movies are shown on the lake--also within walking distance--on Sunday evenings and are great family fun, as is a walk on the Kure Beach Pier, just down the road. This sleepy little town makes for a sweet hideaway for couples as well with romantic nights on the deck, great sushi, and craft beers, and fun trips into Wilmington for tapas and touring.

The ocean view bedroom has a queen bed. Crisp clean sheets, fresh towels, and a fresh bathmat are supplied with the cleaning fee, all in a tote when you arrive. There is a sleeper couch with an air/coil bed that can be adjusted to comfort in the living room. We keep our place immaculate, just as we would want if we rented, and as you should expect.

There are just nine units in our building, which is the closest building to the beach on the island. Our 3rd-floor condo (walk up! Keep in mind when booking) has expansive vistas which are spectacular. There are no buildings or streets directly behind us so our building is very peaceful. Great shelling and surf lessons right in front too!

Please see the photos to see just how close we are to the freshly remodeled boardwalk area! Our condo has newly been redecorated, including fresh paint, floor, and a new bathroom and appliances including washer dryer. The building has newly been painted.

We have 2 cable TVs, full wireless internet, and cable. Our deck has 2 pub-height chairs with a matching table where you can appreciate beverages and view the fireworks! We have a storage closet at beach level, where you will find beach chairs, and be able to store your items safely. There is a ground-level shower just below the building. Just bring your beach towels and swimsuits, we have everything else you might need. We have two enormous designated uncovered parking spots with our unit (NOTE: no golf carts, boats, or motorbikes are allowed.)

There is so much to do at Carolina Beach! The North Carolina Aquarium is at the south end of the island next to historic Fort Fisher. Daily programs include divers who swim with sharks and a touching pond for the kids. Just north of our condo is the marina with daily departures on fishing charters, sunset cruises, dinner cruises, and boat units. A fifteen-min. drive takes you to the city of Wilmington. The historic riverfront downtown has brick streets, waterfront eateries, loads of antique stores, horse-drawn carriage rides, the battleship NC, and magnificant eateries. Day trips on the ferry to Southport are so enchanting, as is a walk on the pier at Kure Beach! Tony Silvagni teaches all ages to surf right in front of our place. The Carolina Beach State Park hosts stand-up paddling and nature walks. Carolina Beach is bursting with new businesses, breweries, and great food.

You could literally park your car and never use it, as so much, including downtown Carolina Beach, is within walking distance of our place!

We hope you plan your stay with us! We do all we can to make your vacation amazing. We include a tote with bed linens, bath towels and mat, and kitchen towels with your cleaning price. (PLEASE NOTE, this does not include comforters or blankets.) Please call or contact me with any questions. (There is no pool at our building)

****Please note before renting.... there is definitely NO SMOKING/NO VAPING in our building at all, not on the decks, stairways, or on the property in general per our HOA.

How to get the best Wrightsville Beach vacation rental experience:

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

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. 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, visitor guides have money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Walk to the Boardwalk and downtown Carolina Beach! Oceanfront ! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the host before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

During your stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
