Unwind on the covered front porch, soak in the private backyard hot tub or hop in the optional golf cart (available for an additional fee of $600/week) to hit the sand or discover the area.

The open concept living room features a cathedral ceiling and sizable transom windows to let in plenty of sun. Subtle nautical details are complimented by textured elements, sandy neutrals and sun-bleached wood tones. Cozy up by the electric fireplace in the matching pair of armchairs during the colder months. The roomy wooden dining table seats six, with seating for an additional four at the adjacent breakfast bar. The gleaming white kitchen remains warm and inviting thanks to under cabinet lighting and glass-fronted curio cabinets lit for display. This space is completely supplied with the essential kitchen tools you need to prepare meals during your stay, and the huge walk-in pantry provides plenty of space for your groceries.

Beyond the kitchen, the aqua tones of sea glass invite you through to the master suite. Furnished with a king size bed and wall-mounted intelligent TV, this room also provides direct access to the screened porch overlooking the fenced backyard. The spa-like en suite bathroom features a pair of basin sinks, a padded bench and an marvelous step in shower with multiple heads and an enclosed soaking tub. The enormous walk-in closet also provides access to the laundry room.

The other two bedrooms on this level share access to a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo and hallway access. The middle bedroom provides a queen bed, while the front room is furnished with a twin bed and a twin trundle. This room also contains a wall-mounted intelligent TV for personal entertainment and a modest desk in case homework still needs attending to during your visit.

On the ground floor, the inviting lower level entrance leads you into a entry and the sheltered access for the home's private elevator. The final bedroom is furnished with a queen bed and is located on this level, along with an additional living space and huge kitchenette with a full sized refrigerator! Just off the entryway, the lounge room contains a round kitchen table that seats four as well as a couch and a large intelligent TV mounted over a second electric fireplace. The full bathroom provides a step-in shower.

Outside, a comfortable patio area under the home is located within the fenced backyard and is furnished with a sectional and dining-height table, along with additional bench seating. Food and drink prepared in the kitchenette can be conveniently delivered directly to this area via a pass-through window with a roll up metal shutter. A gas grille is supplied for your group's bar-b-que master, and the private hot tub is located in the grassy fenced backyard along with a firepit.

Above this space, you'll find a comfortable grouping of patio furnishings on the screened back deck, a protected perch where you can appreciate an evening beverage while keeping an eye on the kids playing below. The covered front porch offers a pair of classic rocking chairs and a shady respite where you can watch the world go by - on island time, of course! When you're ready to hit the beach, hop in your car for a fast drive over to the nearest public beach access. Or rent the property's optional golf cart (golf cart costs are in addition to rent) for your stay and keep the sand at the beach rather than tracking it home. Book your stay Down By The Sea today!

Our top Rental property booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To find the best vacation home within your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Carolina Beach attractions.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Down By The Sea: Modern Coastal Home with Hot Tub has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean 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 terrific vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
