The living space is anchored by a decorative granite fireplace, warmed by gracious hardwoods and surrounded by handsome wainscoting. The dining area, furnished with a table for ten and a convenient bar, is abutted by a granite breakfast bar proffering seating for four more. Eat here or just outside on the upper deck at either the dining table or on covered lounges and chairs while relishing salty breezes and marsh/seascapes. The chef’s kitchen extends plenty of butcher block counter space and pleases with a walk-in pantry and Kitchen Aid and Viking stainless appliances. At each end of this floor is a King Owner and a Queen Owner suite. The first pampers with a garden tub in its ensuite, a private sitting area and two closets.

Tips to get the optimal rental experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, property management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peace. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!

• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
