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 supplied 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 enormous 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. There is no smoking allowed inside the duplex and no family pets are allowed. Renters provide their own paper products (paper towels, toilet paper, etc.).

Strategies for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Brunswick area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and pick the perfectvacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Oceanfront 4BR 2 Story Duplex with Private Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong 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 feedback.
