Summary:
Oceanfront bungalow with enormous front porch feet from the crashing waves!

Brought to you by Abundance Vacation Units a boutique rental agency. We are close by and available for any needs.

Three bedrooms and one bathroom (plus an outdoor hot shower with privacy), each room has its own climate control to keep everybody comfortable.

You’ll be just two blocks from the northside pier which has its own outdoor tiki bar with live music!

The Space:
This entire striking beach bungalow is for your use only! We newly replaced and repaired the bathroom to address previous guest’s concerns. A sizable deck overlooking the ocean complete with table and chairs and lounge chairs, plus an outdoor shower down on the garage level! Below the home there is plenty of parking for four enormous cars. RVs can also be accommodated.

Guest Access:
Plenty of parking, an outdoor shower, a humongous deck, a fire pit in the sand and a calming porch swing and seating area in the shade under the deck, all the sand out front… Not to mention the home!

We are walking distance to just about everything on the island — a big fireworks display can be seen every Thursday nighttime right from the deck!
There is a weekly craft and farmers market as well as outdoor family movie projections, bingo nights outdoors at the boardwalk, live music... and so much more available by a short walk down the beach.

A brand new play structure has been installed by the lake which is a short walk and viewable from the back windows.

There are private surf and paddle board lessons as well as week long camps also just a short walk down the sand. We are so ideally located, but without the heavy hordes of the hotels.

You can also walk or bicycle to eateries and coffee stores.

We try to keep our calendar refreshed, but Airbnb only lets us work with exactly 365 days at a time. So if you are booking far in advance, please keep in mind that for the middle of summer there may be a seven day limit and Saturday check in and check out will still apply — just send me a fast note and I’ll get back to you.

The Neighborhood:
The Carolina Beach fishing pier is just a few homes to the North. The pier is home to tiki bar, live music, and a modest restaurant.

The access to Freeman Park is also just two blocks away! With a pass you can take your 4 Wheel Drive car onto the pristine sands, set up chairs, fish and savor the vistas. Most years fires are allowed in Freeman Park, but I have heard that the summer of 2021 they will not be accepting fires.

There are coffee stores, eateries, cafés, bicycle units, surfboard units, surfing schools, live music venues, the boardwalk, the famed Britts Donuts... The list goes on and on, and all of these things are within a short bicycle ride of the home. You could also rent a golf cart! That makes even grocery shopping fun.

Getting Around:
Most people bring their cars or rent one at the airport, But another fun alternative is to take a taxi or Uber from the airport and rent a golf cart on the island from SunFun units! You can also rent bicycles or bring your own... or just walk down the beach!

Other Things to Note:
The home is oceanfront, with an unobstructed view north and south also. Do note that there are huge boulders for purposes of keeping down erosion (as seen in the photos). The boulders are between the yard and the beach, so to access the wider sandy beach, guests will walk two tons to the south and use the public access.

Animals are allowed on the property ONLY after agreement with host and pet fee is paid, otherwise any animals are a breech if guest contract and guests will be asked to leave as per Airbnb guidelines.

Interaction with Guests:
Your host is available for questions via text, and most of the time is only 2 miles away, so I can effortlessly come and help in the event of any confusion or problems. Please reach out with any concerns upon arrival. We want you to have a five star stay and can swing by to fix anything that might have been overlooked by the cleaning staff.

You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast?

• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.

• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.

• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
