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 exceptional wetland and wild bird estuary. Your home is bright with natural light and gorgeously decorated. Four decks--three with seating and impressive vistas. Savor gorgeous sunsets, sunrises, and beautiful 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, freshly named one of the most awe-inspiring boardwalks in America. The summer season brings amusement rides, seasonal live music and weekly fireworks. Appreciate 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 best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

Get the best value:

• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To book the best rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Cape Fear area attractions. 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? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking the rightrental:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Pet friendly Ocean views Steps to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area attraction you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the host immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean 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 group have a wonderful vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
