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 trendy 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 fashionable 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 fantastic 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.

Finding the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Cape Fear area vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, 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.

How to pick the best vacation rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Choose vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 2 BR\/2.5 BA beautiful, spacious waterfront Carolina Beach condo has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges could be applied to your contract.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
