If you're looking for an oceanfront stay in one of the best locations on Carolina Beach with fantastic 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 beautiful 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 savor 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 sizable 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 fantastic 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 outstanding. We include a tote with bed linens, bath towels and mat, and kitchen towels with your cleaning price.

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

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Carolina Beach. To get the largest rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Wrightsville Beach restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect vacation home in Carolina Beach:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Walk to the Boardwalk and downtown Carolina Beach! Oceanfront ! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Advice for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct 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 feedback.
