A second deck overlooking the full-size pool leads to the second bedroom, complete with a cozy queen bed and twin trundle bed. Even though it is on first floor, it's high enough to view over the dunes and see the beach/ocean. First floor means less steps to the condo. Especially helpful when you are lugging baggage, food and beach supplies.

This condo has one of the biggest oceanfront decks in Carolina Beach: Covered Deck (12' x 24') - Watch the sunrise or view the dolphins and surfers play in the sea. Most of our guests spend much of their time on the deck that has a very comfortable couch & chair, 6 high sitting captain chairs and a bar height table set to savor the view, dine, or play games. Even if rain, you can sit out on the deck appreciating the beach/ocean sights since it is covered. Just below the deck is an outdoor shower and in the grass area, we have a BBQ to appreciate preparing your food outside.

Just outside the condo is the huge, handsome beach that stretches for miles. There is even a lifeguard stand right on the beach, outside our building for your added swimming safety!

Adding to the enjoyment of your stay is the beautiful town of Carolina Beach itself. Carolina Beach is a real, year-round community with friendly people, a wide range of eateries, famed Britt’s Doughnuts, ice cream, frozen yogurt, coffee stores, bars and cozy beach stores of all kinds. On Thursday nighttime in the summer there are fireworks from the beach and complimentary family movies at the close by lake on Sundays - check for updates on activities before and during your stay. You won’t want to miss the Boardwalk, ranked one of the top 10 boardwalks in the country by Food and Wine Magazine, with its stores and fun food as well as the Ferris wheel and carnival rides throughout the summer.

All of this, and Hang Ten Grille, Squiggles, Pops Diner, Majik Beans, Sea Merchant market, Tony's bicycle/surf rental, Vinny's Pizza, Granny's Kitchen, Carolina Smokehouse, Kure Beach pier/bait and gift shop, Freddie's Restaurant, Kure Beach diner, Jack Mackerel's Island Grille, Happy Hippie's coffee shop, tennis/pickleball courts and playground - all of this and more are within walking distance! A short walk from the condo is the Ocean Grille Restaurant and Tiki Bar which offers outdoor bar service and live music while overlooking the ocean.

Rent or bring your bicycle (bicycle rack on south side of building next to beach access path) and ride through New Green Way trail which can be accessed about ¼ mile up South Carolina Ave. Or, if you prefer hiking, head out to the wooded trails at the Carolina Beach State Park which runs along a riverbed. Either location is also great for running.

Visit The Carolina Beach Marina and take a sightseeing cruise or charter fishing expedition. Anglers, the fishing is great! Fish on the beach, from the pier, catch a head boat, charter a boat, or launch your own at a public launch. There are many water sports to enjoy. You can rent or bring your own equipment for snorkeling, surfing and boating adventures.

Visit the North Carolina Aquarium located at the south end of the island or take a short ferry ride to Southport for the day, where you can enjoy quaint shopping, sightseeing and magnificent local seafood dining on the water. Historic Wilmington, on the Cape Fear River only 20 mins. away, is where you'll find the USS North Carolina Battleship, ghost walks, horse drawn carriage rides, boat excursions, waterfront eateries, antique stores, and more.

These are just a few reasons why visitors adore returning to Carolina Beach at all times of the year. For more information, please refer to the Carolina Beach website at https://www.carolinabeach.org/

Tips to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Fully Upgraded for 2025! Huge Deck, Full-Size Pool, Beach Front, Linens Included has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you reserve the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is right for your group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas during check in. Call the host immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
