This comfortable and stylishly refreshed 2 bedroom/2 bath beachfront condo is on the first floor of a well-maintained unit. It is, literally, steps from the pool and the beach. Very few stairs to climb and no need to even put on your flip-flops. The living area features modern furnishings including a queen size sleeper/couch, 42” flat-screen TV with DVD player, modest ipod/MP3 docking station, and a photo-faux fireplace.

Sculpted glass French doors leading to the master bedroom provide privacy while filling the room with light. This room has a king-sized bed and 22" TV. The master bath has been completely modernized with fashion plumbing and a bespoke tile double shower. A touch of cleanly decadence. The second bedroom has a new bunk set, a queen on the bottom and a twin on the top. The guest bath has also been remodeled and features a tub/shower combo, tile floor and wainscoting, and refreshed vanity & toilet.

The private patio can be accessed from either the master bedroom or the living room. Four bar-height eucalyptus deck chairs make for comfortable seating while you take in the vistas of the dunes and listen to the crashing waves.

The kitchen has also been completely refurbished with new counter tops, floors, lighting, glass tile backsplash, fresh paint, and a bar-height table big enough to seat six for dining or games. It is entirely equipped with everything you will need from a coffee maker in the morning to a blender in the evening.

There is complimentary WIFI and on-site washer/dryer for your convenience. Central heat/air promise year round comfort. Sorry, but our condo association does NOT allow family pets, and there is NO SMOKING.

Along with sand and surf, Carolina Beach offers a wide variety of family fun! The photogenic beach boardwalk is only ½ mile from the condo. It is the ideal place to find beach units, bicycles, golf carts, bars & eateries, and gift stores. During the summer months there are even amusement rides and games. Around the corner are the docks with event boats and no shortage of charter fishing boats to make your angling dreams come true. A few blocks to the north is Freeman Park where you can drive on the wide-open beach for a private sunbathing spot or a nighttime-time bonfire. 4x4s are required.

A short drive to the south end of the island brings you to Ft. Fisher, the site of one of the last battles of the Civil War and the North Carolina Aquarium at Ft. Fisher where you can get up close to sharks, loggerhead turtles, and Luna - the rare albino alligator. Just beyond that you can catch the car ferry across the mouth of the Cape Fear River to the cozy town of Southport with even more shopping, eateries, galleries, and fun.

Thirty mins. inland is the striking downtown area of Wilmington, NC. Set on the banks of the Cape Fear River, an painless walk along the river boardwalk takes you to stores, eateries, and antebellum homes. Appreciate a horse-drawn carriage tour, then take the short drive across the drawbridge to visit the USS North Carolina - the WWII era battleship moored permanently within view of downtown.

Come appreciate a little slice of beach heaven!!

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• To find the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for local tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking a perfectrental home:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Steps to the Pool + Beach! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you are crazy about, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your stay, note any problem areas during arrival. Call the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
