About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 2 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Condo
• Approximately 900 square feet

Our condo is newly remodeled and ready for the summer season! We kept our "beachy" colors but did significant upgrades to kitchen, living area, and bathrooms.
This bright, colorful and decidedly "beachy" oceanfront condo is ideal for a family vacation or last-min. beach trip! Flat screen TV's in the living room and both bedrooms, as well as high speed, secure internet (not shared with the rest of the building). The Ocean Front master bedroom has a king-sized bed with a new Beautyrest bed, private full bath with rainwater shower and detachable hand-held wand, and access to the oceanfront balcony. There are 2 twin beds In the street-facing second bedroom with access to the full hall bathroom with tub/shower. These can also be converted to a king bed with a converter kit included. There is also a queen sleeper couch with upgraded Memory Foam bed in the living room should you need the additional bed space. The oceanfront balcony offers beautiful vistas (make sure to catch at least one sunrise on your stay). The kitchen is entirely equipped with everything you need for a week at the beach (and all appliances are brand new), with a Ninja Mega-Kitchen System blender, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, microwave, and J. A. Henckels kitchen cutlery. But, if you'd rather not prepare, there are loads of eateries really close by. Some of our favorites are Kate's Pancake House, Havana's, Michaelangelo's Pizza, Pop's Diner, and of course, the famed Britt's Donuts. And the Veggie Wagon (just across US 421) is a real treat, offering farm-fresh veggies, freshly baked baguettes, deli sandwiches, take-and-bake pizza's, fruit smoothies, and a pretty good selection of beer and wine.
In addition to a great time on the beach, you have access to bicycle units just two blocks away (one of our family's favorite activities is to bicycle down to Fort Fisher and catch the ferry to Southport). The Carolina Beach Greenway is accessible at the lake which is just across the street. Here you will find a nice walking, running, cycling, or skating trail, peddle boat units, and there are family movies every Sunday nighttime.
Two blocks away you will find the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, with stores, eateries, Britt's Donuts and an amusement park. Thursday nights there are fireworks from the boardwalk. See them there, or appreciate them from the beach or the deck of the condo.
The unit has roomy covered parking that can accommodate two bigger sized cars or three smaller ones. We've been coming to Carolina Beach for over 20 years and have owned this unit since 2008. It's slow-paced and calming, a ideal location for a family wanting to relax or for a couple looking for a peaceful, charming hideaway. We appreciate spending time here, and we think you will too! Savor!

Strategies for getting the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your rental home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the best vacation rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. 2 BR Condo On the Beach (any closer and you'd need a tent on the sand). has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your family.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC attraction you crave, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
