The best beach vacations are spent on Southern Horizons! Let your cares drift away as you float in the elevated ocean-facing pool, savor your morning coffee as you watch the waves from the private covered porch off the master suite, or walk along the shore to search for seaborne treasures via the beach access path right across the street.

The bright and airy living room includes cathedral ceilings that create a cavernous and welcoming ambiance. Cuddle up on the couches to watch the big game on the Roku TV as you appreciate the sound of waves crashing in the distance. The wooden dining table is set for six, with an additional four seats at the available breakfast bar. Tucked just around the corner, the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare dinner for your crew or to get the day started on the right foot- a tea kettle, traditional drip coffee makers and a Keurig-style machine are all supplied. A half bath is also available off the common spaces for convenience, and a laundry closet homes a full-size washer and dryer for use during your stay.

The first of two master suites is also located on this level, furnished with a queen bed and a TV for personal entertainment. The attached private bathroom contains a standard tub/shower combo. All other bedrooms are on the second floor, and each also contains a private TV so there’s no need to fight over the remote in the evening! The second master suite provides a king bed and private standard bathroom, along with direct access to a private ocean-facing covered porch where you’re sure to find yourself spending at least a few moments at the start and end of each day. The final two bedrooms are each furnished with a double bed and a twin-over-double bunk bed and are connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom.

Outside, the front porch provides both covered and shaded areas. Appreciate peaceful conversation as you sway on classic rocking chairs or gather around the Polywood picnic table to enjoy a low country boil pot under the Carolina blue skies as sea breezes tease your hair. You can even catch some rays on the poolside loungers as the kids cool down in the pool without any waves to contend with. Underneath the home, an additional picnic table, rocking chairs and even a porch swing offer an additional shady respite. An enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water makes rinsing sand off after a trip to the beach painless, and if you prefer to prepare out, a charcoal grille is supplied. There’s plenty of parking available in the driveaway, including covered spaces. Gather your crew and embark on an adventure to Southern Horizons today!

How to book the best vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• To get the best value, change your family's Carolina Beach vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of 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 or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose and book your prefectrental:

• Start by having your group decide on the best dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Southern Horizons: Elevated Pool, Ocean Views, Near Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your family.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your visit, record any problem areas during arrival. Call the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many concerns.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to propel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
