Our cute one bedroom, one bath condo is ideal for couples looking for a charming hideaway or a modest family looking for fun on the beach. Our two patios, one on each end of the condo, give you an magnificant view of the sunrises and sunsets over the beach and lake respectively. Just in case the weathers not cooperating, we have a retro arcade with all your favorite old games and there's no quarters needed!

We are located in the heart of Carolina Beach, in the second row of homes. We are a mere 100 steps from the ocean access. The Carolina Beach Lake and Brandy Myers Playground is across the street and the Carolina Beach Boardwalk is roughly a 6-min. walk. Every Thursday nighttime during the summer there is a fireworks display on the boardwalk, the best part about this is there is no fighting of the hordes for you, you can just pull up a chair on our ocean side patio and watch in comfort. The amusement park portion of the boardwalk is open Memorial Day through Labor Day every year. At the lake, there is a Farmer's Market every Saturday morning and on Sunday evening's they do complimentary family movies. The Kure Beach pier, the Ft. Fisher Aquarium, and the ferry to Southport are just a 10–12-min. drive.

If you appreciate food like we do there are loads of great places to eat and drink! Definitely check out Hang Ten restaurant for a great burger, they're so close you can see them from the back patio. The Veggie Wagon is a 3-min. walk, where you can grab all kinds of local fare, like take and bake meals, hard ciders/beers/wine, baked goods. The blood orange cider is my personal favorite. Coffee lovers don't fear for Majik Beans is just a short walk past the Hang Ten restaurant, on the walk you'll also pass Kate's Pancake home, where you should definitely try the Banana Nut French toast. For burritos as big as your head, lol, check out Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn, delicious! Last but not least on our favorite's list is Britt's Donuts, which is open seasonally on the Boardwalk. They're so good that they announce their re-opening every year on the local news!

We have an onsite designated parking spot for our unit, so you don't have to concern yourself with parking access or costs. Our home is entirely furnished but we do not supply linens. If you don't wish to travel with linens, you can rent them on the island at such places as Maids 2 Clean NC. We have a 3-nighttime minimum stay to book our property.

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer is high season in Carolina Beach. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, , and reduced traffic.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting and booking your prefect Brunswick area rental home:

• First and foremost, have your family select trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Cozy Beach Hideaway, Sleeps 2-4. \nDirectly across from Carolina Beach Lake Park has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.

Know before you go:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your stay, note any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
