Beach-Friendly Amenities Every Coastal Vacation Rental Should Have

The North Carolina coast is a popular beach destination with stunning oceanfront vacation rentals and condos just steps from the shore. Featuring the right beach-friendly amenities with your vacation rental makes it a hotspot for beachgoers. Sea Scape Properties is a local vacation rental property management company that helps homeowners stand out in the competitive market.

Proximity to the ocean is a luxury for beachgoers staying in vacation homes near the beach. Turn their beach vacation dreams into everlasting memories by equipping your vacation rental with these beach-friendly amenities.

Beach Towels

Beach towels have subtle differences compared to bath towels, making them more suitable for outdoor use. For example, beach towels dry faster than bath towels. Beach towels are also lighter to pack into your beach bag compared to thicker bath towels. Guests love soft, plush bath linens, but these aren’t ideal to bring to the beach.

Beach towels are one of the top beach-friendly amenities to include in every vacation rental near the beach. Designated bath linens and beach towels are perks included with every vacation rental managed by Sea Scape Properties.

Beach chairs and umbrella

Well-furnished vacation rentals perform better in the marketplace. Take your decor to the next level by providing beach chairs and umbrellas. Foldable beach chairs are easy to store in your vacation home and carry when guests are ready to bring them to the beach.

Most guests expect to lay on their towels on the beach. Beach chairs and umbrellas are resort-style amenities that quickly elevate your vacation rental experience.

Beach toys

The amusement park at Carolina Beach and playgrounds near Ocean Isle Beach make these top picks for kid-friendly beaches on the North Carolina coast. Spacious vacation rentals that attract families with kids can get the little ones excited for the beach vacation with beach toys.

Here are some ideas for beach toys you can keep at your vacation rental:

• Shovel and bucket
• Sand molds
• Sand sifter
• Beach volleyball

Water sports gear

Beach toys are for the sand. Water toys are for fun in the ocean! Whether enjoying the waves at Wrightsville Beach or the calm waters at Kure Beach, there’s tons of water fun awaiting your guests.

These popular water toys will give your guests hours of fun on the beach:

• Surfboard
• Paddleboard
• Snorkeling gear
• Floating tubes and accessories

There are several beach rental shops near the best beaches in coastal North Carolina. Guests staying at vacation rentals managed by Sea Scape Properties receive an exclusive discount on beach gear rented through our partner, VayK Gear.

Beach cruisers

The Loop at Wrightsville Beach is a go-to destination for visitors seeking outdoor leisure spaces. Surf N Turf and Bel Sole are popular Sea Scape Properties vacation rentals in Wrightsville Beach providing beach cruisers for guests.

Biking is one of the best ways to experience the coast. Whether using them for exercise or as a fun way to get from point A to B, beach cruisers immerse guests in the coastal lifestyle.

Outdoor shower

Is your vacation rental overdue for renovations? An outdoor shower is one of the beach beach-friendly amenities to upgrade your vacation home. Outdoor showers benefit both guests and homeowners. Guests can rise off the sand after returning from the beach. It also keeps your vacation home cleaner from tracking sand inside.

Summer Sands is a community of guest suites with shared amenities, including an outdoor shower.

Boat dock

Dining at dockside restaurants, exploring barrier islands, and navigating the Intracoastal Waterway are a few of the top reasons boating is so popular in coastal North Carolina. Equipping your vacation rental with a boat dock will establish your property as a must-stay for boating enthusiasts.

Oceanfront homes can build private-use docks like our Carolina Cottage vacation rental. Alternatively, properties like the Aqua Vista vacation rental provide guests with dock space in a shared dock.

Beach Access

Your guests will appreciate having easy access to the beach. Showcase how to access the beach from your vacation rental to give guests even more incentive to book your property for their vacation.

Oceanfront homes can include a designated private walking path from your doorstep to the ocean. Coastal condos may also include shared beach access paths that can also be included as one of your vacation rental amenities.

Designated beach paths also boost accessibility. Wrightsville Beach also features wheelchair-accessible access points and complimentary sand wheelchairs available.
