Dates blocked off on the calendar are not available. We do ask guests complete their profile with a picture prior to completing their reservation as an added measure to help prevent fraud. 2. Where is the property located? What is nearby? - The property is at the popular Seawind community at the North end of Carolina Beach. The address to the property is ­­­1715 Canal Drive. The unit number will be provided 5 days prior to check in. The property is a short 100 yard walk to the beach access. A Tiki Bar on the pier is also short 2 minute walk away with comfy bar food, spectacular ocean views and tasty adult beverages. It’s a local favorite and everyone is super friendly. Great place to relax with the locals and tourist alike. The famous Carolina Beach Board walk is a short 5 minute drive away. Downtown Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach are 25-30 minutes away depending on traffic. 3. Accessing the property. - Guest will be able to access the property on the day in check in via a combo lock on the door. Code will be provided on day of check in. Guest should be aware THERE IS NO ELEVATOR. Property is located on the first floor. However, it is above a garage. Thus, MUST BE ABLE TO WALK UP 1 FLIGHT OF STAIRS (Approximately 14 steps). 4. What’s the parking situation? 3 full size parking spots are available directly in front of the house in labeled spots. The spot in front of the garage can house 2 cars with a 3rd car able to park adjacent to the property. The third spot adjacent to the property DOES REQUIRE A PARKING PASS. The double space in front of the garage DOES NOT REQUIRE A PARKING PASS. See photos for further details. Due to the close proximity to the beach and high demand for parking, failure to park in the labeled spot will likely result in the vehicle being towed. Additionally, guests are asked to be out of the parking spots before 11am. If guests would like to stay near the property following check out, paid parking is available across the street for $20 a day during peak season. Failure to exit the property or return the property pass following check out can result in a $50 parking fee. 5. Does the property come with access to Freeman Park? Carolina beach unfortunately does not sell shareable parking passes for Freeman park. However guests are welcome to purchase a daily pass for Freeman park. Peak season prices are $50 a day with off season being less. Highly recommended if you have a 4x4. Just be careful about getting stuck in the sand. 6. Do you allow pets? Yes we allow a max of 2 well-behaved dogs. There is a $100 non-refundable fee due at time of booking for the 1st dog and a $50 fee for the 2nd dog per stay. Please check if you are bringing a guest when booking the property. If you are bringing a second puppy please message us so we can bill for the 2nd pup. We have no breed restrictions as long as each pup is well behaved and does not have a history of aggressive behavior. Guests are responsible for the activity of their pets. Please be courteous of other owners and guests nearby. Failure to pay the pet fee can lead to up to a $250 penalty fee and removal from the property without refund. 7. Do we allow smoking? - No smoking is allowed on the property including the deck or outdoor areas. Any evidence of smoking on the property will again result in a $250 fee + damages and a poor review on Airbnb. 8. What is your check in policy? Do you offer early check in? - We are proud to offer an easy self-check in starting at 4pm on day of the reservation. 5 days prior to your reservation you will receive an Airbnb message with a check in code (for combo lock on door), unit number, etc. UNFORTUNATELY DURING PEAK SEASON (APRIL TO AUGUST) WE ARE UNABLE TO OFFER CHECK IN EARLIER THAN 4PM. Guest may inquire about early check in during off season (SEPTEMBER TO MARCH). We also recommend checking in before sunset if possible. Most guests can check in at night just fine, but many units look the same at night. If this is your first time to the property, it can be a slight hassle. Plus you want to make sure you get to take advantage of the sunset views on the back porch that first day if all possible. 9. What is your check out policy? Do you offer late check out? - Check out is 11 am. Out of convenience for our cleaners and to ensure we always have adequate time to meet our high cleaning standards WE DO NOT OFFER LATE CHECK OUT AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR. Guests who check out after 11pm are subject to a $50 late check out fee if they are still in the property >30 minutes after the checkout time. Otherwise check out is easy and laid out. Like most private rentals we ask guests to take out the trash (dumpster in community), clear the dishwasher, etc. We ask guests to strip used bed. Towels including hand towels, bath towels and kitchen towels we ask be placed in the tub if used prior to check out. 10. Does the property have easy access to the beach? - Absolutely, less than 100 yards from stairs to sand. But it is not private. The property has an extremely close public access through Freeman Park. Guests should be aware that Freeman Park is a drive on beach beloved by locals and vacationers alike. While most guests appreciate how this adds to the beach vibes of the community, there is traffic (largely parked vehicles waiting to access the beach during the summer, does not feel dangerous crossing the street like I’ve felt in Topsail or Wrightsville Beach.). But it is something to be aware of if you have young children. 11. Do you have age minimums for the property? - Due to legal liabilities, we ask that all guests staying at the property to be over the age of 25 (excluding children). We leave it up to our guests to adhere to this policy. Ultimately, we just want guests who will respect and enjoy the property and not will draw unnecessary attention to themselves. Any reports of underage drinking or unruly behavior of any kind is subject to immediate removal from the property without refund. 12. Do you have any recommendations for getting around? - We recommend that guest bring their own vehicle or rent a car, preferably a 4x4 so you can drive on Carolina Beach. Guest will be provided with marked parking spots for up to 3 vehicles. More information will be provided 5 days before check in. The beach and tiki bar are obviously very walkable. But the boardwalk where the remainder of Carolina Beach is a 5-7 minute drive away. There are some local taxi services mainly for when you have too many adult beverages. Uber and Lyft services on the island are limited. 13. Do you have any recommendations for food or activities? - Absolutely. We have a welcome book that provides a list of all our favorite places in the Carolina Beach area to visit upon your arrival. However, a couple of our favorite places to get you started: o Tiki Bar @ Carolina Beach Pier- Walking distance, great food and drink specials. Local favorite. o Fat Pelican- A landmark of CB. A must visit if you love beer. The walk-in cooler offers near endless variety. o Wake N Bake- the bacon and maple syrup glazed doughnuts are worth the calories o Sea Witch Café and Tiki Bar- Awesome inside/outside bar. Great place if you love live music o Kates Pancake House- local favorite breakfast joint 14. What is the grocery situation? - There are two main grocery stores on the island. There is a Food Lion and Publix. Food Lion is a little older. The Publix was built in 2019. We like both. Food Lion and has good quality meat and overall lower prices. Publix is a little more bougie. Prices are on average 10% higher than Food lion, but largely affordable. If you live that Aldi’s life, there is one right off Carolina Beach Rd as you drive in from Wilmington, you just have to remember to stop on your way in as its 20-25 minutes away. Also, there are couple smaller places to pick up seafood that we recommend: - Cape Fear Seafood company- great crab and seafood pots - Blackburn Brothers Fresh Seafood- super high quality fresh off the dock seafood, but they do close early. Veggie Wagon is just south of the boardwalk and has tasty pre-made meals and other local favorites. 15. What is the linen situation? - We are happy to offer linens to our guest for no additional fee (which is not the case with most Airbnbs in the area). You will be provided with 3 freshly made beds (1king and a 2-queen bunk, towels, kitchen towels and wash clothes. We currently do not offer beach towels due to laundry limitations currently, so we recommend bringing your own or purchasing while here. We do charge a standard $20 fee per stained linen or towel to again try to keep costs low for our guests and continue to offer this service. We DO NOT currently utilize a hypoallergenic detergent, so we do recommend bringing your own towels and linens if you have severe skin allergies. 16. What do I need to bring? - Other than your favorite adult beverages? As discussed above we ask that guests bring their own beach towels. Additionally, due storage limitations we ask guests to bring their own beach supplies. There are many beach stores on the island to pick one up. Publix usually sell beach gear as well for added convenience. We also recommend Island Tackle and Hardware for everything you need and more. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash is mounted in both showers. Dish soap and dish detergent will be provided as well. 17. What kitchen supplies do I need to bring? Hopefully very little, if any. Just bring food if you like to cook. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, cooking utensils, silverware, plates, and glasses. The unit will also be stocked with a garbage bag in each trash can, recycling bag, 1 roll of paper towels and 1 roll of toilet paper. These supplies are not intended to last the guest through their entire stay (especially for longer stays) so we ask that guests pick up these consumables when they stop at the grocery store. We also have a coffee maker with both a 12-cup pot and single serve coffee. K-Cups and whole bean coffee with a grinder will be provided for guests.
