Can't get any closer to the Beach/Ocean! Spectacular View! This is a First Floor Luxury Direct Ocean - Beach Front Condo! Just Steps to the Beach! Wi-Fi! Linens Included. This gorgeous first floor condominium comes with an broad deck with 2 sliding glass doors that lead to the living room and master bedroom with the most comfortable upgraded king-size bed. 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 appreciate 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 savor preparing your food outside.

The Kitchen has brand new top of the line cabinets, counter tops and all is decorated in warm comfortable colors. The kitchen is equipped with everything needed to prepare your meals. The condo is also Wi-Fi Ready. You will find books & games for your added enjoyment.

Just outside the condo is the sizable, 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 marvelous 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 and Tricks to get the perfect rental home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental home:

• To book the best rental for your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and choosing yourrental home:

• First, have your group choose dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Fully Upgraded for 2025! Huge Deck, Full-Size Pool, Beach Front, Linens Included has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
