Our charter boats located at the harbor in the heart of Carolina Beach offer charter fishing both (in-shore and deep-sea). The North Carolina Aquarium and Fort Fisher History Museum are just down the road at the south end of the island. The aquarium is a great family experience and has different exhibits and events on a regular basis. From the aquarium you can also access tidal marsh trails and appreciate all of the native wildlife and flora. Take a step back in time and tour the Ft. Fisher history museum and learn about the area’s history during the civil war. Over the winter there is even a live reenactment of the last battle at the fort. In the same area you will find the Ft. Fisher to Southport ferry. It is really fun to take a ride on the ferry for a day trip to historic Southport for some antiquing and lunch on the river. If you enjoy surf fishing you can access the south end of Ft. Fisher from the Ft. Fisher Recreation area by 4 wheel drives or on foot. There is also 4 wheel drive access on the north end of Carolina Beach at Freeman Park. The Carolina Beach State Park located on the west side of the island offers miles of beautiful natural hiking trails, kayaking and fishing. You can even rent a pontoon boat and spend a day on the water visiting islands and marshes. During summer season there are rides at the Carolina Beach boardwalk for the kids as well as Thursday nighttime fireworks with live entertainment. Family nighttime is Tuesday with special entertainment for the kids. At the Carolina Beach Lake (which is the closest fresh water lake to the ocean on the eastern seaboard) there is a complimentary outdoor family movie on Sunday evening and an impressive Farmer s Market on Saturday mornings. Come for the holidays and enjoy the Island Of Lights! The lake and the boardwalk are decorated with lights and Christmas surprises with all kinds of entertainment for the kids.

Tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Carolina Beach. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

How to pick the best rental:

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Adorable condo with oceanfront balcony has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is right for your vacation.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area beach you are enamored with, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
