Our beach front 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo is available and ready for your beach vacation!

Check-in time is 4:00 PM and check-out is 10:00 AM.

Located adjacent to Freeman Park and north of the Carolina Beach boardwalk area, you'll have everything you need for a fun vacation. Our condo is located in an independent 6 unit structure that has parking for three cars, including a one car garage. Private beach access keeps our area a bit more secluded and quieter than other places. The condo is on the raised first floor, which makes the loading up part of your vacation less grueling and time consuming without sacrificing the handsome ocean view from the huge covered porch with plenty of seating.

In 2024, we modernized the master bathroom! The new bathroom includes a bespoke tiled shower, new impressive floor, new vanity, backlit mirror, and shining light. Check out the new photos.

In 2022, we refreshed the patio furnishings, living room furnishings, and upgraded three appliances in the kitchen. Be sure to check out the photos. You'll find open living space with a full kitchen ready for cooking light or big meals, dining space, and living room. The unit has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms with one bath off the master bedroom. Both baths have shower stalls. The hall bath was completely remodeled in 2020 with an upsized, bespoke tile shower. All beds have been replaced over the past three years. Everything your family, a group of friends, or three couples need for a great get away at the beach.

Outside, you'll find an upsized covered deck for outside enjoyment without having to head down to the beach. Our deck has a patio table and four chairs for dining on one side. On the other side, there's a patio loveseat, table, and four lounge chairs for your relaxation and conversation. There's even festive lights to savor the deck any time of day or evening.

A linen package is supplied in all units from our cleaning service. All bed sheets and bath and kitchen towels will be delivered and set up before your stay. No making up beds when you get here! Beach towels are available to use, but must be washed and dried before leaving, or you can bring your own.

Our story- Soon after purchasing this unit in 2016, we began updating the interior. In 2020, we completely updated the hall bathroom adding an upsized bespoke tile shower, installed a new secure storm door, and replaced the queen bed and bed in two bedrooms with new hybrid spring-foam bed. In 2022, we replaced nearly all the outdoor furnishings on the deck, living room furnishings, and kitchen appliances. In 2024, we updated the master bathroom completely adding a little bling and luxury to the space. We use the off season to continually update our place. You are renting directly from us, the owners.

During the summer season, we accept requests that are at least 7 nights. We will accept check-in and out on any day of the week.

Strategies for getting the perfect Wilmington, NC rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, shift your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First, have your group agree to vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Beach Front with Great Ocean Views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If not, email or call the property manager before booking your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• During check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to stimulate future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback 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 expeditiously to remedy it.
