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 appealing beach bungalow is for your use only! We newly replaced and repaired the bathroom to address previous guest’s concerns. A huge 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 sizable cars. RVs can also be accommodated.

Guest Access:
Plenty of parking, an outdoor shower, a giant 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 enormous 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.

Family 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 comfortably 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.

Rental home tips and tricks:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Brunswick area area. To get the best value, try changing your family's Brunswick area trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental 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 the perfect rental in Carolina Beach:

• Start by having your group agree to dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Abundance on the rocks — oceanfront with fire pit! has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible online. If not, contact the property management company before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is suitable for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your stay, note any problem areas during arrival. text the property manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
