Notes from the host
An Oceanfront Dream
From beautiful morning sunrises, the ever constant waves, dolphins playing in the surf, and limitless views from Wrightsville Beach to Kure Beach, be prepared to enjoy the ocean every minute of your vacation in Carolina Beach. You don't even need to leave our large full floor balconies to enjoy the sound of the surf or the rays of the sun. Even from inside the unit, large oceanfacing windows allow you to take in all the natural beauty that surrounds you.
Our oceanfront home is the complete 2nd and 3rd levels of our building and is equipped with a private elevator. This unit features 6 Bedrooms and 4 Bathrooms, to accommodate groups as large as 24. If you need even more space, we also own the downstairs 1st floor unit which sleeps 10 additional guests (VRBO #575913). The building has ample parking and a spacious backyard for BBQ and yard games or a formal wedding ceremony. There is plenty of space for that large family get together you are wanting to have. Also, both units are pet and child friendly!

Extended Overview:
Our large kitchen features stainless steel appliances - a French door refrigerator with ice maker and water in door, a double oven range with a convection oven for quicker cooking times, dishwasher, and microwave. Plates, glasses and cookware are all provided - enough for two meals without ever having to do dishes! There is also a coffee maker, crock-pot, toaster, blender, waffle iron and griddle to help with all the meal preparation. There is also a separate bar area with mini fridge for all those extra beverages, lots of barware, and utensils necessary for making this vacation beverages. For making meals outdoors, we have two gas grills with provided propane, plus a charcoal grill.
We have a large dining room table that accommodates 12. We also have provided a foldable table and chairs that seats 6 more. There are also four stools at the counter, and TV trays for extra dinner seating in the living room.
The main living room has a large couch, loveseat, and two armchairs and is open to the kitchen and dining area for maximum entertaining. There is also a 40" TV and built-in fireplace for those chilly evenings.
The main master bedroom has a King Sleighbed, a twin daybed with low trundle, sleeping up to four. This bedroom has private access to the upstairs oceanfront balcony and has a private four piece attached bathroom with a double shower, a two person jetted tub, toilet, and his and her sinks.
The second master bedroom has two queen beds, a twin daybed with a raised trundle, accommodating up to six. This bedroom also has private access to the upstairs oceanfront balcony and an attached private bathroom. This bathroom features a shower/whirlpool tub combo, sink and toilet.
There are two bedrooms on the main floor of the unit. One bedroom has one queen bed and has a private street-side balcony. The other bedroom features two bunkbed sets - one is a twin-over-twin, the other is a twin-over-double, sleeping 5. This bedroom also has a private street-side balcony. These bathrooms share the main floor bathroom with a shower/tub combo, toilet and sink.
Upstairs there are two more bedrooms in addition to the two master bedrooms. One bedroom has a queen with a street-side private balcony. The other bedroom has one set of bunkbeds - a twin-over-double, and a single twin, with a private street-side balcony. These bedrooms share a bathroom with a walk-in shower with seating, a toilet, and a sink.
Our home also has a laundry closet with a stack, front loading washer and dryer for you to use. Linen service is included in the price of the unit, and includes bed sheets, bath and beach towels, hand towels, and wash cloths. Kitchen towels are also provided.
Our unit has a private beach access for those days that you want to enjoy the beach. We are also lucky enough to have a lifeguard post right by our house for added safety when bringing families and those new to the beach. We provide beach chairs so there is no need to bring any from home. There are also plenty of sand toys that we've accumulated over the years to play with as well. There is a locked storage closet in the carport to lock up strollers or surfboards, and an outdoor shower and hose to rinse off the sand.
Again, we also have a large backyard (very rare on the island) if you want to bring your yard games to enjoy.The backyard is gated, so you an let your kids or pets roam freely. There is plenty of outdoor space if you are planning a wedding ceremony or reception or reunion event. We can give you a list of vendors from food, to flowers, to seating as we hosted our own 10 Year Anniversary Party here last June.
All of our decks have patio seating, including a dining table set on the main floor oceanfront deck. The upper level deck has several pool loungers for sunbathing or stargazing as it is open to the sky.
If it happens to rain during your stay, there is plenty to keep you entertained inside. We have extended cable TV in the living room and master bedrooms. We have a DVD/VCR combo in the living room, and DVD player in the masters with some VHS and DVDs provided. There is also secure wireless internet throughout the property, plus plenty of books, board games, and puzzles to pass the time.
To make your stay hassle free, no parking passes are required (so no towing!) and there is enough parking for 5 vehicles, including two covered spaces. There are also electrical outlets in the carport area if you would like to bring or rent a golf cart during your stay (they are street legal in Carolina Beach.)
We are approximately 1.5 miles from the boardwalk area, where there are restaurants and shopping galore, an arcade and amusement rides during the summertime. Also every Thursday night there are fireworks on the beach which you can enjoy down by the boardwalk or from the beach in front of our unit. Sunday nights there is a family movie at the lake (about 2 miles away). We are also two blocks from the fishing pier where you can buy bait and licenses, and only 4 blocks from the access to Freeman 4x4 Park.
This is a flexible check-in day rental, but if you are interested in booking less than a week, please contact us as we can provide you with nightly prices.
Finally the owners live two houses down - so if you encounter any vacation hiccups they will be there personally to get your vacation back on track. They have also been Islanders since 2007, so they know a lot of great places to go, things to do, and restaurants to try.
