If you're looking for an oceanfront stay in one of the best locations on Carolina Beach with marvelous ocean vistas then look no further! Our unit is in the heart of Carolina Beach with walking access to the boardwalk, downtown, and local eateries! Parking in CB is hard to find downtown and is pricey, so just park for the week and walk everywhere! We are steps from the Boardwalk and downtown eateries.

Savor coffee on the deck to sunrises, and beach access just 20 yards from our steps! Our unit is filled with sunshine and ocean vistas out every window! This preferred condominium will sleep up to 4 people (two on sleeper couch) and is ideal for a charming hideaway or a modest family. There is a space in the bedroom the ideal size for a pack and play, or toddler to sleep.

The charming wide beach is just steps from our beach closet, which holds two "Tommy Bahama" chairs for your use, and we have a lifeguard station directly in front of us, along with great shelling and surf lessons right in front too!

The bedroom has 2 windows, one with a great ocean view, one facing sound side, and a queen bed. Multiple windows in the living area make it feel as if you are right on the beach! You can watch summer months, Thursday nighttime fireworks from the deck, and the living room and deck offer a beautiful, unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean and miles of beach. The sunrises are AWESOME!

Carolina Beach is the idyllic sleepy, friendly and safe little beach town, yet it features tons of activities to fill your vacation! Whether on a romantic hideaway, or with the kids, the freshly remodeled boardwalk area, (which is a half-block from our condo) has something for everybody--swings to watch dolphins swim by, live bands, carnival rides, Britt's Donuts, and tons more! In the summer months, activities are scheduled every nighttime, such as bingo, bands, and fireworks on the beach. Family movies are shown on the lake--also within walking distance--on Sunday evenings and are great family fun, as is a walk on the Kure Beach Pier, just down the road. This sleepy little town makes for a sweet hideaway for couples as well with romantic nights on the deck, great sushi, and craft beers, and fun trips into Wilmington for tapas and touring.

The ocean view bedroom has a queen bed. Crisp clean sheets, fresh towels, and a fresh bathmat are included with the cleaning fee, all in a tote when you arrive. There is a sleeper couch with an air/coil bed that can be adjusted to comfort in the living room. We keep our place immaculate, just as we would want if we rented, and as you should expect.

There are just nine units in our building, which is the closest building to the beach on the island. Our 3rd-floor condo (walk up! Keep in mind when booking) has expansive vistas which are spectacular. There are no buildings or streets directly behind us so our building is very peaceful. Great shelling and surf lessons right in front too!

Please see the photos to see just how close we are to the freshly refreshed boardwalk area! Our condo has newly been redecorated, including fresh paint, floor, and a new bathroom and appliances including washer dryer. The building has newly been painted.

We have 2 cable TVs, full wireless internet, and cable. Our deck has 2 pub-height chairs with a matching table where you can appreciate beverages and view the fireworks! We have a storage closet at beach level, where you will find beach chairs, and be able to store your items safely. There is a ground-level shower just below the building. Just bring your beach towels and swimsuits, we have everything else you might need. We have two huge designated uncovered parking spots with our unit (NOTE: no golf carts, boats, or motorbikes are allowed.)

There is so much to do at Carolina Beach! The North Carolina Aquarium is at the south end of the island next to historic Fort Fisher. Daily programs include divers who swim with sharks and a touching pond for the kids. Just north of our condo is the marina with daily departures on fishing charters, sunset cruises, dinner cruises, and boat units. A fifteen-min. drive takes you to the city of Wilmington. The historic riverfront downtown has brick streets, waterfront eateries, loads of antique stores, horse-drawn carriage rides, the battleship NC, and amazing eateries. Day trips on the ferry to Southport are so enchanting, as is a walk on the pier at Kure Beach! Tony Silvagni teaches all ages to surf right in front of our place. The Carolina Beach State Park hosts stand-up paddling and nature walks. Carolina Beach is bursting with new businesses, breweries, and great food.

You could literally park your car and never use it, as so much, including downtown Carolina Beach, is within walking distance of our place!

We hope you plan your stay with us! We do all we can to make your vacation marvelous. We include a tote with bed linens, bath towels and mat, and kitchen towels with your cleaning price.

Getting the best vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Carolina Beach. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Walk to the Boardwalk and downtown Carolina Beach! Oceanfront ! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your vacation group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to drive future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
