This comfortable and stylishly refreshed 2 bedroom/2 bath beachfront condo is on the first floor of a well-maintained unit. It is, literally, steps from the pool and the beach. Very few stairs to climb and no need to even put on your flip-flops. The living area features modern furnishings including a queen size sleeper/couch, 42” flat-screen TV with DVD player, modest ipod/MP3 docking station, and a photo-faux fireplace.

Sculpted glass French doors leading to the master bedroom provide privacy while filling the room with light. This room has a king-sized bed and 22" TV. The master bath has been completely modernized with fashion plumbing and a bespoke tile double shower. A touch of cleanly decadence. The second bedroom has a new bunk set, a queen on the bottom and a twin on the top. The guest bath has also been updated and features a tub/shower combo, tile floor and wainscoting, and updated vanity & toilet.

The private patio can be accessed from either the master bedroom or the living room. Four bar-height eucalyptus deck chairs make for comfortable seating while you take in the vistas of the dunes and listen to the crashing waves.

The kitchen has also been completely refurbished with new counter tops, floors, lighting, glass tile backsplash, fresh paint, and a bar-height table big enough to seat six for dining or games. It is entirely equipped with everything you will need from a coffee maker in the morning to a blender in the evening.

There is complimentary WIFI and on-site washer/dryer for your convenience. Central heat/air promise year round comfort. Sorry, but our condo association does NOT allow family pets, and there is NO SMOKING.

Along with sand and surf, Carolina Beach offers a wide variety of family fun! The beautiful beach boardwalk is only ½ mile from the condo. It is the ideal place to find beach units, bicycles, golf carts, bars & eateries, and gift stores. During the summer months there are even amusement rides and games. Around the corner are the docks with event boats and no shortage of charter fishing boats to make your angling dreams come true. A few blocks to the north is Freeman Park where you can drive on the wide-open beach for a private sunbathing spot or a nighttime-time bonfire. 4x4s are required.

A short drive to the south end of the island brings you to Ft. Fisher, the site of one of the last battles of the Civil War and the North Carolina Aquarium at Ft. Fisher where you can get up close to sharks, loggerhead turtles, and Luna - the rare albino alligator. Just beyond that you can catch the car ferry across the mouth of the Cape Fear River to the cozy town of Southport with even more shopping, eateries, galleries, and fun.

Thirty mins. inland is the striking downtown area of Wilmington, NC. Set on the banks of the Cape Fear River, an simple walk along the river boardwalk takes you to stores, eateries, and antebellum homes. Savor a horse-drawn carriage tour, then take the short drive across the drawbridge to visit the USS North Carolina - the WWII era battleship moored permanently within view of downtown.

Come savor a little slice of beach heaven!!

Tips and Tricks to get the very best rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best rental home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
