Our cute one bedroom, one bath condo is ideal for couples looking for a charming hideaway or a modest family looking for fun on the beach. Our two patios, one on each end of the condo, give you an magnificant view of the sunrises and sunsets over the beach and lake respectively. Just in case the weathers not cooperating, we have a retro arcade with all your favorite old games and there's no quarters needed!

We are located in the heart of Carolina Beach, in the second row of homes. We are a mere 100 steps from the ocean access. The Carolina Beach Lake and Brandy Myers Playground is across the street and the Carolina Beach Boardwalk is roughly a 6-min. walk. Every Thursday nighttime during the summer there is a fireworks display on the boardwalk, the best part about this is there is no fighting of the hordes for you, you can just pull up a chair on our ocean side patio and watch in comfort. The amusement park portion of the boardwalk is open Memorial Day through Labor Day every year. At the lake, there is a Farmer's Market every Saturday morning and on Sunday evening's they do complimentary family movies. The Kure Beach pier, the Ft. Fisher Aquarium, and the ferry to Southport are just a 10–12-min. drive.

If you appreciate food like we do there are loads of great places to eat and drink! Definitely check out Hang Ten restaurant for a great burger, they're so close you can see them from the back patio. The Veggie Wagon is a 3-min. walk, where you can grab all kinds of local fare, like take and bake meals, hard ciders/beers/wine, baked goods. The blood orange cider is my personal favorite. Coffee lovers don't fear for Majik Beans is just a short walk past the Hang Ten restaurant, on the walk you'll also pass Kate's Pancake home, where you should definitely try the Banana Nut French toast. For burritos as big as your head, lol, check out Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn, delicious! Last but not least on our favorite's list is Britt's Donuts, which is open seasonally on the Boardwalk. They're so good that they announce their re-opening every year on the local news!

We have an onsite designated parking spot for our unit, so you don't have to concern yourself with parking access or costs. Our home is entirely furnished but we do not supply linens. If you don't wish to travel with linens, you can rent them on the island at such places as Maids 2 Clean NC. We have a 3-nighttime minimum stay to book our property.

Tips for getting the perfect Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best vacation home for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Wrightsville Beach attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation home in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Cozy Beach Hideaway, Sleeps 2-4. \nDirectly across from Carolina Beach Lake Park has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

During your stay:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable 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.
