Welcome to EASY LIVING, our comfortable beach home charmingly located between the historic beach side Boardwalk and the Carolina Beach North End Fishing Pier where the beaches are less busy. This home/bungalow is a duplex with the family using Side A and Side B is the rental unit. Our grandfather constructed this bungalow in the late 1940's. It was partially refreshed in 2009 but still maintains that old bungalow feel. Walk in to a very bright and eclectically decorated beachfront property. This duplex offers well outfitted kitchen and dining areas including cookware, dishes and silverware, living room and half bath downstairs. Upstairs you will find four bedrooms and one, on the smaller size, full bath with shower. Each room has huge windows, ceiling fans, a modest closet and a chest of drawers or dresser. The two bigger bedrooms have queen beds while the two smaller rooms have full beds. The master bedroom has upper porch access.

Also available for your use on the downstairs porch are charcoal grille and rocker seating. Come in from a fun day on the beach, rinse off and take a seat on the bench halfway down the private boardwalk beach access. Or come straight to rinse off in the outside shower available on the porch. The sizable porch on the street side is ideal for watching the sun go down and people watching when winding down after a day on the beach.

Tips for getting the best rental experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Summertime is high season in Carolina Beach. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing the right Wilmington, NC rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oceanfront 4BR 2 Story Duplex with Private Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your group.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or may be applied to your contract.

More tips for your stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
