BOHO at The Beach, with Ocean & Marsh View - Vacation rental home in Carolina Beach, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 2 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 gorgeous 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 impressive 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 invigorating 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 excellent 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 simple 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

Interaction with Guests:
We are always available for questions or concerns via Airbnb messenger. Please call for emergencies

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Carolina Beach rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best value, shift your family's Wilmington, NC vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship 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.

How to select the perfect vacation rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. BOHO at The Beach, with Ocean & Marsh View has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what is right for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
