Ensure your next beach vacation is a true Island Retreat with a stay at this elegant modern home complete with an oceanfront hot tub and covered dunetop gazebo! With two master suites, plenty of seating and spectacular outdoor spaces to discover, there’s enough room for the entire family to spread out here.

Settle down in the living room to watch the big game on the 70 inch flatscreen TV on your choice of a pair of rocking armchairs, a pair of recliners or the reclining couch. Play a board game or appreciate your morning coffee at the 47" round table with four chairs as you gaze out over the water. To the opposite side of the living room, a rectangular dining table and modest drop leaf table seat a total of 18 guests. The adjacent galley-style kitchen offers stainless-steel appliances and plenty of cabinet and counter space. Clean local produce or the catch of the day in the farmhouse sink as you watch palm fronds sway in the breeze.

Just off the kitchen is a half bath for your convenience, along with a bedroom that provides a queen bed. All bedrooms in the home include their own TV for personal entertainment, so there’s no need to argue over the remote in the evenings. Just off the living room, you’ll discover the first master suite with a king bed and attached private bath with step in shower, along with direct porch access that makes stealing a fast dip in the hot tub before bed a breeze. With access available from the living room as well, this covered porch is furnished with rocking chairs and a classic wooden picnic table. The hot tub is located in an attached entirely fenced open deck with gates for safety, and a cold-water shower rinse off here helps ensure that sand stays on the beach!

Upstairs you’ll discover the rest of the home’s bedrooms and bathrooms. The second master suite is positioned directly above the first and also offers a king bed. This attached bath contains a standard tub/shower combo, and the room also provides direct access to the upper open sun deck, which is furnished with both lounge chairs and Adirondack chairs as well as striking vistas of the Atlantic. A secondary suite across the hall contains one queen bed and one double bed, and direct access to the same deck space. Both master suites and the secondary suite offer beautiful vistas of the sea. An attached standard full bath also offers hall access and is shared with the bedroom next door, which is also furnished with two queen beds. At the end of the hall, the final full bathroom with hall access is shared by two bedrooms that are each equipped with a queen bed.

When you’re ready to set up on the beach for the day, you’ll find a dedicated sand path right at the foot of the steps of your covered dunetop gazebo, once again gated for safety and offering classic rocking chairs and constructed in bench seating. Watch the kids fly kites or build castles on the shore while you sit in shade and comfort! On the ground level of the home, you’ll find an additional rinse off shower, this time with hot and cold water, along with a park style charcoal grille if you care to prepare out. Gather the family and escape to your Island Retreat today!

Though family pets are not allowed for guest stays, those with allergies should note that dogs may be present during owner reservations.

Tricks and tips for getting the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting the best rental home in the Carolina Beach area:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Island Retreat: Beautiful Oceanfront Home w/Gazebo in West Beach has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. If not, email the property owner before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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 thoroughly! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
