About this property

Huge, almost new oceanfront one level unit, AMAZING VIEWS, super-sized deck.

Welcome to Ocean Oasis! Spend your time at Carolina Beach in a two year old oceanfront duplex with an extraordinary deck overlooking the ocean. Your unit has an entire level.

Also check out our other unit in the duplex, VRBO 3838901.

Amazing, unobstructed panoramic views of the beach and ocean will take your breath away. First renting in 2024, everything is almost new in this exceptionally appointed unit. You will have the entire first floor (not ground floor-one flight up) in this 2 unit house. If you don’t spend all your time on the beach, the rest of the time will be spent on the huge deck with plenty of seating. Enjoy meals at the dining table on the deck, or hang out, read a book, enjoy a glass of wine and listen to the waves from two pairs of comfy chairs.

The gathering room features two sofas and a chair that are perfect for relaxing and socializing. We have a selection of books, games, and DVDs/Blu-rays for all ages. The wall-mounted TV tilts and turns for better viewing for everyone.

We installed a water softener system to make for much more enjoyable showers. The kitchen has a separate faucet set up with a reverse osmosis water dispenser giving you delicious water to drink and use in your cooking. The fridge is also connected to this system. No need to bring cases or gallons of water.

The kitchen is very well equipped. There are dishes, flatware, cookware, knife set and the all-important wine glasses. There is a multi-cup Keurig (bring your k-cups), regular coffee pot (we supply filters), electric tea kettle and toaster. There is also a blender to make your frozen margaritas and a hand mixer if you need one. We provide some cooking essentials, so you don’t have to bring your whole kitchen with you. There is salt and pepper, cooking oils and an assortment of herbs and spices. We also provide foil, baggies, etc.

The dining table has seating for eight, There are 6 chairs and a bench, comfortable for everyone to dine together or play games.

There are high quality towels and linens for all the beds/bathrooms. All of the bedrooms have smart TVs and black out window treatments so you can sleep in. Each bathroom has a hairdryer.

We provide a starter set of toilet paper, paper towels, napkins and garbage bags. In addition, we provide a starter set of dishwasher detergent, dishwashing soap, laundry detergent sheets and dryer sheets.

Smart locks allow you to arrive any time after the standard entry time. You have your own code and you don’t have to worry about carrying keys with you.

Each unit has parking for 3 cars, no worries there. The outdoor storage unit has beach chairs and a beach canopy. Bring your beach towels and toys! There is an outdoor shower with hot and cold water to wash off the sand.

The Carolina Beach boardwalk is about a mile north and the Kure Beach pier is a mile south. The Tiki Bar is a few hundred yards away for your afternoon beverage delight or lunch on the beach. There are restaurants (including Granny’s for breakfast) within walking distance.

Come and spend your Carolina Beach getaway at Ocean Oasis. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, we have weekly bookings, 2-3 nightly minimums the rest of the year.

For security purposes, there is a camera in the carport, at the rear corner near beach storage rooms and at the rear corner monitoring the beach walkway.

Please note: the property is strictly non-smoking; there is no smoking allowed in the unit, around the decks nor anywhere on the complex property. It is also a pet-free unit, no exceptions due to family allergies.

We had an amazing 7-night stay at this beautiful, beachfront home! Linda and Dean's home was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. It had everything we needed for a relaxing week on the beach, including a well-equipped kitchen and a starter kit of laundry, dish soap, toilet paper and garbage bags. There is a storage area with beach chairs, sand toys and a tent. Our boys were especially excited to see that they each had their own room, with a tv! The furniture and deck are made of treks, making it an amazing spot to enjoy the stunning views, even when it's a little too windy to be on the beach :) The host was very friendly and responsive. The restaurants that they recommended were spot on. We would definitely go to Island Bagels a bit sooner and Havana's filet mignon was so delicious! It’s clear they put a lot of thought and care into making sure guests have a great experience.If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic place to relax by the ocean, this is it. We’d happily stay here again!

Our family could not have been happier with this vacation rental! Linda and Dean were a pleasure to book with. The house itself is stunning- with everything you need for a relaxing beach week. Our family appreciated the black out curtains (it was helpful for our kids napping during the day), the close proximity to the beach and having everyone on one floor. It was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We will absolutely be booking again next year.

Ocean Oasis Awesome

Our visit was awesome; the view and floor plan and cleanliness were impressive. Access to the beach and shower downstairs were great. It would have been helpful to have instructions for operating the TV remote and also some details on how many beach chairs were in the storage room. We brought beach chairs, but it turns out we did not need to, as there were plenty in the storage room.

Relaxing Beach Week!

What a beautiful house! These property was perfect for our group of 5 adults and one toddler. As an added bonus, it was very easy to “baby proof” for the week. The views of the ocean were fantastic and we really enjoyed the large outdoor deck. We had a few issues during our stay but Linda and Dean were very responsive at helping to resolve them. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a restful stay. The kitchen was so well supplied we had no issue enjoying a Lowcountry boil one night. Leave your beach supplies at home. They had ample chairs, beach toys and shade available for us to use. Thank you Linda and Dean for a great week.

Perfect in every way!

This house is brand new and beautiful. Even better than the pictures. We most appreciated the attention to detail: plenty of new beach chairs, a well stocked kitchen, sharp knives, starters of everything (tp, paper towels, ziplocs), sand toys even though our kids are teens, filtered water for drinking, bath towels including hand towels in the kitchen and baths, soap, books and movies for kids and adults and games. Truly we were good to go from walking in the door! Walked right out the door to the beach. Ate every meal on the beautiful outdoor table. House was immaculate. We’ve vacationed in Carolina Beach five times and this was our favorite place we have ever stayed. My family already agreed we would like to come back to this exact place for our next beach trip.

Most bizarre VRBO experience ever....

The property is new and nice. Yes there is construction going on next door and they were playing loud music during the day, but it's just how things go. We must not have read the listing well to see that this an upper and lower situation. For some reason duplex feels like side by side. Turns out the owners were staying upstairs. She greeted us in the driveway twice. And emailed at least once per day, sometimes more. She asked if we were leaving early to let her know. The lock was set to my phone number so we left right on time and didn't lock the door since the cleaning people were so anxious to get in early and then were accused of not leaving on time. I would say feeling watched by the owners of the rental and having WAY to much communication was really not like anything we've ever experienced on VRBO. As for the listing, it was complicated to fit 2 cars in the driveway. No way you could fit 3. We had a honda pilot and the owner said our car was too big. The slider that looks to the beach is dirty between the panes, so you have to have the door open to see the beach. It was beautiful weather when we went but if it was hot this would not have been ideal.

Our apologies if our presence detracted from your stay. We are friendly by nature and proud of our beach house. Other guests have welcomed our brief interactions with them. For others reading this review, we occasionally stay in our beach home. When we have met other guests, they enjoyed chatting and sharing our home. We don’t search the guests out; the chats were in passing. We send welcome, arrival and departure messages. One extra message you received was when we left and that was to wish you well and make you aware when the next guest would be arriving upstairs. You received additional messages when the requested welcome acknowledgement and departure response were not responded to. Our cleaning crew was not waiting for your departure. The front door was not locked and you didn’t notify me that you left so I had no idea you left the unit or when. Your phone is not connected to the lock, that would be an invasion of your privacy. Even if the cleaning crew arrived 5 minutes after you left, I would never think of leaving someone's home unlocked - both the front and sliding doors were unlocked. Regarding parking, we have often had 6 cars, 3 for each unit, parked with no problem (some guests have had visitors so we even had 7). You were parked in the middle of the carport and I asked for you to move to the left as per the parking instructions. Regarding the slider, dirt cannot get between the panes. There is a broken seal so there is some fogginess as we await for a replacement. In hindsight, we would include that information in welcome email.

Beautiful Home

First let say home was beautiful! We arrived on Monday evening. Cars were already there and thats when we discovered it was 3 condos?? And not a stand alone home. Pictures online showing 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms made us think it was a house. We could not get onto our parking spot due to other renters 2 cars were pulled over to center of carport area. We had to park what we now know are the turn around spaces. They finally did move the next evening so we could park in unit 1 space. Once in layout was great. Very clean and new condition. Shortly after getting settled in the noise from upstairs was terrible!!!! It sounded like they were going to come through the ceilings. It was obviously kids running back and forth The dishes in the cabinets in our unit were rattling and chandelier was rattling. Tues morning we were awakened by men hollering and hammers and nail guns at 7 am unfortunately they had new construction being built next door and i know this is something owners cant help but it made for a terrible vacation as this went on every day until 7 pm. It was very very loud! But,I will have to say owners should look into floor/ceilings because guests who were staying upstairs were the hardest to deal with as far not being able to rest or sleep in past 7 am. It sounded as if they were stomping across the floors at all hours of the day and nights. We felt was too expensive what we paid not to able to fully enjoy the vacation. Great idea on layout but noise control needs ad

Hello Scotty, I am sorry it was not an ideal vacation for you. The listing says it is a unit in a duplex. If you had contacted me during your stay about the parking and upstairs noise I would have addressed those with the upstairs renter. I cannot fix problems I am unaware of. I am very quick to respond on VRBO, usually within minutes, morning to evening.

Dean and I would love to share our newly constructed home with you. The ocean and our home is our sanctuary and hope it will be yours. We love sitting on the beach or hanging out on the deck for hours, reading, enjoying a cocktail, watching dolphins and laughing as the sandpipers chase the receeding waves and then run back as the next wave comes in.

As experienced VRBO owners, we know how to be hosts and what our guests are looking for in a rental property. Our goal is to provide our guests with what we look for when we are guests.

Why they chose this property

Our family has vacationed at Carolina Beach for many years, both north and south of the boardwalk area. We love this area of Carolina Beach because it is close enough to walk to the Boardwalk for Britts Donuts while being in a fairly quiet area.
Our house is only a short walk to the Tiki Bar for your afternoon beverage.

What makes this property unique

Our Ocean Oasis has breathtaking views up and down the coast. The oversized fully furnished deck provides endless hours of enjoyment. Aside from it being a new build, all the furnishings are new.
The decor is comfortable and relaxing. It is decorated in a coastal theme but is done so tastefully so it truly feels like an oasis.
On the inside, there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. There is dining seating for 8 and a gathering area with plenty of seating as well. The kitchen is well appointed with all you need for your home away from home.
On the outside, there is a semi-private beach access, plenty of parking, and an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water.
