Abundance with a View stunning top 2 floors

Summary:
This home is stunning! It combines crystal chandeliers with stainless steel countertops, open catwalks and a Japanese soaking tub. Please note there is another vacation rental in the same building.

Spacious, bright and comfortable, there are expansive views of the sand, sea grass and water from every window. Ocean in the front and Carolina Beach Lake with its paddle boats, ducks, walking path and farmers market in the back. We believe this is the best location on the island!

The Space:
The top two story home is for your exclusive use. There is another, smaller vacation rental on the first floor, but they are two totally independent units with separate heating/air, water, entries, etc.

Brought to you by Abundance Vacation Rentals an exclusive boutique rental agency, we are nearby and available for anything you need.

You will share the garage below the house and the boardwalk out to the ocean, with its wooden benches, foot wash and shower. We even have a children’s slide, playhouse and swing to round out your perfect vacation spot. There is plenty of space to go around!

Guest Access:
You will have complete access to 2 1/2 levels of house. Everything inside the front door is yours! Three private decks: two facing the ocean and one overlooking the lake. You have your own full laundry room, entryway, two living areas, three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and an enormous kitchen area – all with beautiful views stunning details and spacious lighting. Look out any window to see views of water either the ocean or the lake! There’s no comparing it.

The Neighborhood:
We chose to build our home on this particular lot because of its superior location. The front of the house has expansive views of the ocean waving sea grass and dolphins swimming past the surfers lined up on the breaks, while the rear windows look out over the lake with its walking path, ducks, and paddle boats.

We are close enough to walk to many restaurants, coffee shops, bars, the boardwalk with its arcade and world famous donut shop, gift shops, organic market — the list goes on.

Every Thursday night the town of Carolina Beach puts on a spectacular fireworks display which you can see from any of the multiple porches in the house, or walk down the sand to join the festivities — there is always live music on those evenings.

On weekends you can walk across the street to the Carolina beach lake where there’s a farmers and craft market, often with live music and food stands. One evening a week there’s an outdoor family movie projected on a large screen by the lake! Bring a picnic and a chair. It is good family fun.

The list goes on, with the option of renting a golf cart for the duration of your stay. That makes everything more fun! Even grocery shopping.

The North Carolina aquarium is just a few miles down the island, as are the two four-wheel-drive beach accesses. And if you don’t have your own four-wheel-drive that’s no problem, Sun Fun Rentals rents out jeeps for specifically this purpose! You can rent a jeep and go build a fire on the beach!

We have two fishing piers close by — bring your own poles or rent theirs. You can also charter a fishing boat at the marina.

There’s a ferry to catch down to Southport which is a wonderful day trip with it’s excellent seafood restaurants, shopping and historic homes.

The Tony Silvagni surf school is just a stones throw down the beach. No driving needed. They are so friendly and can get anybody standing up on a surfboard with a big grin on their face. They’ll also deliver bikes, chairs, umbrellas and surf boards right to the door! We highly recommend them!

And when you are tired out from all those activities you can come into the cool luxurious surroundings of this house and relax on the couch with a cold drink and still hear the sound of the waves.

Getting Around:
Bringing a car here is best, but then, absolutely rent a golf cart from Sun Fun Rentals on the island, or bikes from Tony Silvagni Rentals (he offers board rentals and amazing surf lessons as well).

Our house has such a great location that you can easily walk to bars, restaurants and coffee shops. You can always get an Uber or a lift, but calling one of the golf cart taxis for a trip around the island is the most fun! I think it’s about five dollars a person anywhere on the island. All of this information and more will be in the rental house when you arrive.

Other Things to Note:
We also supply the following for each property:
A starter kit of one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, a trash bag, and dish soap. We also supply laundered bed linens, comforters, and 1 bathing towel and wash cloth per person. We do not supply any beach gear or beach towel. We have great rental companies on the island we would be more than happy to share the info with you. We also do not supply laundry detergent, body soap or shampoo/conditioner as we find everyone has their own preferences for these =) Please review our house rules prior to your stay

Interaction with Guests:
I like to allow my guests to enjoy the island at their own pace, giving them privacy to relax. I am, however only a text or phone call away and reside on the island in case anyone needs assistance.

Great experience
We had a short, but wonderful stay. The owner was fast to respond and friendly. The house itself was lovely though there are a LOT of stairs. Everything was exactly as pictured/described. Would definitely stay again.

Not exactly what I expected
The property was rather more like a family members home that let you stay there rather then something you’d expect from this site. The family’s property that owned the home had a lot Of there personal belongings still all over the house. Also ONE OF THE MAJOR SELLING POINTS for me on this house in the first place was the aesthetics. For example, one of the rooms had a ladder leading up to the ceiling like to a loft area another one had steel stairs outside window to a deck. The first one in the yellow room, the ladder led to a locked door, where you could not even get to the loft area, which was very disappointing, and it did not mention that in the listing, also the steel stairs that had holes in them were very very uncomfortable on your feet not to mention my poor little service animal, who could barely get up and down the stairs on her own. I literally had to cover the entire staircase with rugs, threw up from throughout the house so she could go up and down the stairs. I actually ended up booking another property and leaving after the first day because it was so uncomfortable.

Unforgettable vacay
My family of four stayed in the upper portion of the home. The design of the home, the windows and porches meant we enjoyed the beachfront location like never before. The property manager was great to work with from start to finish. Great location within walking distance to Tony Silvagni Surfi School, a few restaurants and the boardwalk area. The section of the beach in front of the house is in between two lifeguard stations. We made some great family memories and won’t soon forget this unique home.

Awesome beach house
The best part of this house is all the windows and gorgeous views! You can look out at the ocean from just about anywhere in the house. There is a nice lake behind the property so if you’re in the back rooms you can still have a nice view! We were so happy there! It was so nice and spacious! We loved the kitchen...lots of room and fun to cook there. There is a very short walk down to the beach which was not very crowded at all. We had plenty of room on the lower deck area to keep our beach cart with our chairs and umbrellas handy. There was also space for our paddle boards and beach crate by our house entrance area. We loved sitting out on the deck areas. There’s a nice water feature by the master bedroom that made it peaceful to fall asleep! Plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance! I would definitely recommend this beach house!

Beautiful! Perfect for a family/someone wanting a nice modern beach stay. Spectacular location!!
This is such a lovely home! It’s well designed and if you have kids-they will LOVE all the fun spaces. If you’re Adults, sans kids-you will LOVE all the fun spaces! :-) The Place is new, clean, organized and you simply cannot beat the beautiful location. Veggie Wagon is a cute tiny beach grocery store, with small selections of very wonderful things-less than 100 meters. The lake is across the street, which you can still see from the house even though on the beach side. We were able to see Christmas lights, and and event, without hitting crowds. You can see sunsets from a charming little deck, too. It really is a nice place. Most places along the beach are kitschy/beachy...which is ok, but if you’re used to more modern decor/design you’ll appreciate this Home. Host, Caitlin, is great! Gave very good directions for things. You’ll be so happy with your stay here. I missed the beautiful beach sunrise this AM... Enjoy! J, S & S

Beyond your dreams...beyond your expectations!!!
Caitlin's home is unlike any other in the best ways possible! I indroduced the NC coast to my family, originally from the NYC area, and they fell in love mostly because of the house ❤️ There are surprises in every room. The layout is thoughtful and the views can be enjoyed from every room even the bathrooms. When we vaca in Carolina Beach again this is the place we want to stay. Thank you Caitlin for your graciousness. We will see you again someday 😀 Best wishes to you and your family...
