Welcome to Chasin' Waves at Carolina Beach! Chasin' Waves is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath, oceanfront condo! Wake up, take a deep breath of ocean air, feel the warm sun on your face, exhale. Unwind - you are at the beach! Where else can you take in a beautiful sunrise and a great cup of coffee on your private balcony, then walk down the beach to the boardwalk and grab some Britts donuts for breakfast?! That's just the start of many impressive memories you'll make visiting Carolina Beach. We appreciate this island and we are happy to share both the island and our home with you!

New in 2023: New bedroom furnishings in both bedrooms, new beds and new box springs! We include all linens, sheets and towels with your rental! We believe a great vacation starts with a good nighttime's sleep which is why both bedrooms are equipped with room darkening curtains. The master bedroom is equipped with a ceiling fan, a 45" HDTV, an en-suite bathroom with a double vanity, a closet with hangers, as well as a modest private deck. We keep a modest black fan in the closet of the master bedroom for additional air flow or to use as a sound machine to help you sleep!

The guest bedroom also has a closet and direct access to a bathroom with a stand up shower and extended vanity. There are additional blankets in the closets and additional towels under the bathroom sinks.

Our dining room table is equipped with a butterfly leaf, so please feel complimentary to make it bigger or smaller to accommodate your group.

The living room is equipped with a 45" HDTV, a ceiling fan, and a sleeper couch with an upgraded queen “cool dreamz” bed. And last, but certainly not least, the oceanfront porch is huge enough to comfortably accommodate seating for multiple people. There is a modest high top table, 2 swivel chairs and 2 stools. You can also use our high-boy beach chair or any of the kitchen stools for additional seating. We plan to add a few more seats this summer!

Parking! 1 reserved space directly under the building and 1 additional space in the lot directly across the street.

Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To book the largest rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property 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.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your group agree to dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Oceanfront 2BR\/2BTH 1st Floor Retreat! Linens Included, Free WiFi, Free Parking has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you crave, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
