They begin in this warm and welcoming 3 bedroom 2.5 bath complimentary standing single family home. One block to the sand. Prepare your favorite dishes in the gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances. (If you don't catch it yourself, Blackburn Brothers Seafood is open 363 days a year and always have a great variety of just caught seafood.) The living room and Master Bedroom have direct WHITE WATER OCEAN VIEWS. You're mere steps to the beach and sand between your toes. Your back yard is an amazing wetland and wild bird estuary. Your home is bright with natural light and elegantly decorated. Four decks--three with seating and amazing vistas. Appreciate gorgeous sunsets, sunrises, and handsome starry nights.

Explore family-friendly attractions and activities close by on the island at the North Carolina Aquarium and the Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Museum, two of North Carolina’s most visited attractions.

Feel surf lessons with world class instructors, bicycle through town with the whole family along the Island Greenway ( two adult bicycles included,---please bring your riding helmets), hike or appreciate bird watching in Carolina Beach State Park. You can cast a line off the fishing pier or charter excursion to reel in a great catch. Rent a jet ski, kayak, paddleboard or bicycle from one of the many stores on the island and charter your own outdoor island excursion. The list of activities that offer classic beach and outdoor fun is countless.

The sights and sounds of family fun await you at the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, newly named one of the most gorgeous boardwalks in America. The summer season brings amusement rides, seasonal live music and weekly fireworks. Savor sweet treats ( Britt's Donuts is a must--- they've been on the Boardwalk since the 1930's!), colorful stores with souvenirs and beach gear, oceanside eateries and tiki bars. For Java fans the Boardwalk offers many great options. We savor the Crush and Grind. There are just a few vintage boardwalks left in the country, and this one is extraordinary, so be sure to put it on your must do list.

Less than twenty mins. from your beach escape is the thriving port city of Wilmington. Explore the WWII battleship, the USS North Carolina, or Arlie Gardens. Wilmington also features many opportunities for shopping with unique stores in the Cotton Exchange, The Forum, Lumina Station, or Mayfaire. There are a variety of tours downtown in the Historic District, one of the biggest and most striking historic districts in the South. The 230-plus blocks hold their own alongside the likes of Charleston and Savannah. Downtown Wilmington also offers the Hall for the Performing Arts, the Kids's Museum of Wilmington, Cape Fear river dinner cruises, and tons of great southern cuisine.

Check out the local events calendar (search "Carolina Beach events") for more upcoming events in the area. Annual off-season events that include Boardwalk activities are Christmas by the Sea and the Island of Lights Festival.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your vacation home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Pet friendly Ocean views Steps to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. Otherwise, email the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Know before you go:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
