Summer is here! It’s time to book the perfect spot for that dream beach vacation! Network Real Estate can help! With dozens of options to choose from in the Carolina Beach and Kure Beach area, you’re sure to find the ideal spot to kick back and relax next to the Atlantic Ocean.
When it’s time to choose that perfect abode, here are a few things to consider:
Location! Location! Location!
So you’ve decided to take a beach vacation this summer but how close to the beach do you want to stay?
Beachfront homes and condos obviously offer better views of the ocean and easier access to the beach (not to mention no need to find parking at a beach access). And waking up to the sound of crashing waves and the sunrise over the ocean is tough to beat. But the view and convenience usually come with a higher price.
Network Real Estate offers oceanfront options in both Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. There also are rentals that are a short walk or ride away from the beach.
Want to stay closer to the Carolina Beach boardwalk so you can enjoy its many restaurants and shops? Here are some options to consider.
Homes vs. Condo
Another thing to consider is whether you want to rent a house or a condo. Homes typically offer more space and privacy than condos. They usually offer more private outdoor areas and can provide more room for larger groups.
While often smaller, condos usually offer shared amenities like pools or gyms.
Rooms and Amenities
Be sure that your beach rental is large enough to comfortably house your group, You can usually search for vacation rentals with a minimum number of rooms/beds. Also what amenities are there? Is there a full kitchen or a place to do laundry? Does it have WiFi available?
Pet Friendly?
If you’re planning to bring your favorite canine to the beach with you, make sure the rental property you select allows dogs.
Network Real Estate offers a number of pet-friendly locations so your pup can enjoy a beach vacation too!
Keep in mind that while your rental property may permit you to bring your furry four-legged friend, they are not always allowed on the beach. Both Carolina Beach and Kure Beach have specific rules for dogs.

Rentals with Pool
You’re going to spend time on the beach while you’re on vacation, but sometimes, you want to enjoy the water with a little bit of privacy.
Having your pool at your disposal is the perfect way to do just that! Pools also offer the perfect spot for a relaxing swim for those who might find swimming in the ocean to be challenging.
But keep in mind that pools pose the risk of drowning so constant supervision of children is required.
