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

Summer stays less than 7 nights will be considered beginning in June. You can send an inquiry if you have a question, but requests less than the minimum will receive a polite response asking you to consider increasing your stay.

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 enormous covered porch with plenty of seating.

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

In 2022, we updated 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 modernized 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 remodeled 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. 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.

Tricks and tips to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• To get the best value, shift your family's Wilmington, NC vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. 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? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, selecting, and booking the right Wilmington, NC rental:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Beach Front w\/ Private Access and Great Ocean Views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out which bed configuration is best for your group.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a great stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Document any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently 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 fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
