About this Property

Don't bring all that beach stuff!

This villa comes with beach gear (check out our video) and cleaning! Tired of climbing stairs? This lower unit is comfortably accessible and the lower height is more toddler friendly. Our villa also includes cable TV and internet (if you're trying to keep up with your e-mail).

Hey, you've got enough to pack. You know....those sandy beach chairs, sticky body boards and half sprung umbrellas? Leave them at home! We provide beach chairs, beach umbrellas, a beach cart, a grille and a cooler. You actually have room in the SUV for the children and grandma.

Inside this luxury unit is elegantly furnished with an island décor, comfortable beds and a completely equipped kitchen. We tried to create an inviting island haven while still maintaining functionality. So....sometimes we opted for room appeal over just adding additional linens. Hopefully you can get a feel of this from our photos and video.

As mentioned, our villa is on the lowermost level (one above the parking level) so there aren’t a lot of stairs to climb. The elevator (great for check-in) is always available but it seems the stairs get more daily use. There's an outside shower to hose down those sand covered creatures you had to drag off the beach. Plus you have full access to the storage room on the parking level (where the beach gear is).

To the beach is painless, we're one of the closer villas to the beach. The three min. walk (you can see the beachfront from the front porch) places you at a striking section of OIB that is currently undeveloped (see the video/picture of the beach). Also, a four min. walk has you at the beach club facilities, including a handsome sea front pool/Jacuzzi as well as the Tiki bar and restaurant. There also is beach access at the pool and you have full use of the parking facilities, if you want to drop children/gear off.

In the evening, savor the lagoon view from the deck swing. There are some fantastic sunsets at OIB, primarily, because it's more of an east/west beach. The lit fountain in the lagoon is calming to see/hear at nighttime. During the day, the little ones appreciate watching the lagoon turtles sunbathing themselves.

Want to catch up on your golf or tennis? As you probably already know, there are a lot of premiere golf courses in the area. The tennis courts are on site, part of the Islander Resort.

As far as sleeping goes, the villa accommodates 8 in beds (King, King, Queen, 2 Singles) and one additional person in a rollaway.

A little more about the beach front pool, infant pool, Jacuzzi, restaurant and Tiki bar. It's a sizable sized pool with tons of deck space and lounge chairs. It overlooks the surf so you can kinda get the best of both worlds from there. Plus, there's beach access on both sides of the pool. This area is only available to owners and guests (like you!) of the Islander resort. There is a big parking lot that you are complimentary to use. So....it can be a great drop off point for children and beach gear for both the pool and the beach.

Do you miss the hub-bub of Myrtle Beach? We don't particularly. But, if you do, it's just a 45 min. drive and you can have all the shopping, eateries, traffic and attractions that you want. Speaking of eateries, there are tons of good ones on and off the island. We will be glad to share our favorites with you (we've been going to OIB for the last thirty five years!).

Sea Isle Beach is a great family beach. It is excellent for long beach walks, pretty sunsets, great sea swimming and fishing and some great family memories.

It's all part of the Islander resort, your best Sea Isle Beach units option.

The Sooner You Begin, The Better The Selection

Carolina Beach rental homes start booking very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months in advance is usually recommended, whenever possible. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental..

Pick a Village and Time

Start by picking which specific area of Carolina Beach you'd like to browse, and the determine trip dates.

How Many Beds?

Take a head count. How many beds and bedrooms will you be needing? Keep in mind that most properties advertise maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in the living room space. It is important to determine what is most appropriate for the group. Most vacation home listings will outline each of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattress sizes.

Establish Your Budget

Check to make sure " Beautiful 4 BR Oib Condo with Beachfront Pool! " works with your price range *during your desired dates*. If several individuals or loved ones are sharing the cost, check that each group knows their responsibility and has approved a maximum they are willing to chip in. Most of the time, a single person in the group will be responsible for making the full reservation and collecting each party's share.

Let's Talk Amenities

What amenities is the family interested in? Do you simply desire a home with a swimming pool, spa or beach volleyball court? Would you like to be away from it all, or close to a city setting? Are linens included with the rental, or will you need to take your own? Gather a list of prioritized "necessities and wants" from your group to help narrow your search to the perfect home.

Accessability

Optimal access can make or break a trip for the less-mobile. If wheel chair entry, elevators, pool lifts or other special devices are required, include that into your search. The majority of rental home postings include a list of amenities.

Your Puppy Needs a Holiday, Too

Are you or other individuals in the gang travelling with a four-legged friend? Although quite a few rentals allow dogs and cats, rules and costs vary per property. Study your contract carefully! Additional fees or deposits may be applied to your contract. Ask questions *before* you reserve!

Searching the Internet

As soon as the location, travel dates and family members are decided, search multiple resources for the best vacation rental selection. Together with Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we recommend searching Google for "Carolina Beach local rentals" for local vacation home management companies. Apart from having exclusive rental properties, local agencies offer you superb service..

Negotiate the Price

Re-read the description to be sure the home has everything required. If it is something is missing, the home management company may know of similar homes that suit your style and budget..

While not true for all rental homes, many property owners and property managers will negotiate rates. If the price isn't negotiable, the number of nights might be. Off-peak weeks will probably be negotiable more often than peak-season..

Where to Get Assistance

Don't forget to get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. We suggest keeping the contact's information in your phone and wallet.

Congratulations! All that is left is enjoying your visit!

During your Stay

• Take pictures on your arrival. Record the condition of the rental home right away. Contact the rental manager immediately to report your observations. If there is a difference of opinion about responsibility later, having the documented problems and communication attempts will probably be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a gas fireplace, TV or jacuzzi. Get in touch with your property manager. They are there to assist. A quick phone call eliminates many hassles.
• Remember to respect your neighbors. Permanent residents frequently live within earshot. Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking restrictions can make a stay a little more pleasurable.
• Ask a local. Residents are a great source of recommendations. Who better to ask where to get the best chicken wings, have a great night out, or the best spots for night life?
• Enjoy your stay! Make sure that you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the property locked up while you are away, exactly like you would in your own home.

Leaving Paradise

• You should make sure you've packed everything. Examine drawers, bath cupboards and closets.
• As soon as your things are all out, begin a walk-through of the rental home to make certain no property damage occurred in the course of your stay. We recommend walking through with the rental manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible).. If the property owner is not available, make sure you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have an enjoyable time? Most property management companies and vacation rental websites allow renters to offer comments. If your rental and/or property manager was top-notch, they will appreciate your positive reviews. If anything went wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the rental wasn't as described, you may want to note that as part of your critique.

Learn from your Stay
