Not feeling like going to the beach? Head south down Canal Street to the charter fishing boats as well as other boats offering eco-tour, sunset or moonlight cruises. There are also many daytrip options including shoppingdining in downtown Wilmington or taking your car on the ferry to Southport. The Fort Fisher Aquarium or touring the USS North Carolina battleship are other fashionable activities.
Hungry after a day of activities? Walk a few blocks over to the High Tide Parlor and Tiki bar for some drinks or food from the grille with great ocean vistas. One mile South puts you in the main entertainment strip with many trendy eateries, bars and stores on the boardwalk and surrounding area. We are happy to provide you our recommendation to satisfy any craving.
Looking for nightlife? There are many options, also on and around the boardwalk. Savor live music at the Lazy Pirate or Sea Witch Cafe, have an ice-cold beer at the Fat Pelican (the BEST dive bar around with a sand beach beer garden), or discover the many other bars and restaurant options.
Note: Parking is limited in this part of the island and there is only one dedicated parking space for the unit. Also, this area is prone to flooding when there are heavy rain events or king tides. This may result in temporary closures of Canal Drive to car traffic. Please look at the King Tide calendar in our photos - this generally occurs 3-4 times per year.
Although there is a dock, it may not be used for motorized boats. Our guests can fish or launch kayaks or stand-up Paddle boards from it.
We want you to have a marvelous vacation, create lasting memories and be our guest for years to come. We are just a phone call or text away should you have any issues or questions.

Tips and Tricks to get the very best rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• To get the best rental within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 2 BR\/2.5 BA beautiful, spacious waterfront Carolina Beach condo has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
