Best views! Sound side home on water with boat docks, plus one block to beach! - Vacation rental home in Carolina Beach, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 1450 square feet

Why best vistas? Because this home sits directly on the water, and roughly 30 feet closer than surrounding homes. Result? Instead of looking at the sides of other homes, or other people sitting on decks, you have a 180 degree water view! Also because the decks and picture windows face west, providing handsome sunset vistas every evening.
Why best location? Because of all the above about the view, plus this home has the best of both worlds--the peaceful and beauty of the sound, and the beach is a block away.
The vistas can be adored from the deck or from inside the home in the living room or dining room--that end of the home has big windows that frame the 180 view for you. Watch the seabirds, pelicans, and dolphins go by. We have even seen sea turtles and otters from the docks.
Speaking of docks---they are great for swimming from, just appreciating the gentle rock of the water, or tying up your own boat (you can rent boats, too). (If you want to tie up a boat, arrangements must be made in advance, and there is a modest additional charge). Speaking of the docks, we keep our two boats there, and we may be there on the docks and on our boats, but if we are we will be super respectful of your privacy and use of the place.
The home has 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom sports a king size bed, its own T.V., and a freshly remodeled master bath with ceramic tile walk in shower. The 2nd bedroom has a queen bed, and the 3rd bedroom bunk beds with a double on bottom and twin on top. Two baths: master bath and hall bath.
Ideal for 6 or fewer people. min. occupancy is 8, with bed space for 7, and the 8th person sleeping on the couch or an inflatable you bring. Please note that though we work hard to make everything nice for you, and we think our beach home is magnificant, this is an older home.
Come experience our little piece of heaven!

Wrightsville Beach rental home booking tips and tricks:

Finding your best deal:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Carolina Beach. Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation rental in Carolina Beach:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Best views! Sound side home on water with boat docks, plus one block to beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you book your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Wrightsville Beach attraction you simply love, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.

Have a great stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
