Location! Location! Location! Welcome to our luxury beach home, North Star.

No need to pack up your supplies in the truck and worry about parking! Just step across the street and you are ready to see what great fishing the Atlantic has to offer. Take a 7 min. walk to the Carolina Beach Pier where you can appreciate a bonfire, drinks and great food at their restaurant and Tiki bar! Appreciate the ease of beachfront living complete with beach essentials (beach wagon, umbrellas, body boards, toys, and more!) AND private outdoor shower to rinse off after a day in the sun.

The Space:
The interior features bamboo floors and tile throughout. The striking kitchen is complete with limestone countertops, bespoke cabinetry, Viking appliances, and counter seating with four stools. The kitchen comes entirely outfitted with everything you need to prepare and entertain. From serving platters, cookware, a pancake griddle, and tableware for toddlers and modest kids, North Star has it all. An additional wine bar includes a Viking wine/drink refrigerator and blender and all drinking water in our home is filtered through a reverse osmosis filtration system!

The beautiful open concept living room features high ceilings, a 70” TV with Roku, a surround sound system, and ample seating. Sit down for meals in the dining room with a enormous table and chairs to seat 8. Surrounded by windows that overlook the ocean. A balcony off the living area overlooks the ocean and includes a table and chairs for four to savor breakfast, lunch, or just to read a good book to the sight and sound of the waves crashing.

Off of the kitchen is a screened in porch with a dining table that seats six. Savor playing cards, doing puzzles, or sharing a meal outdoors out of the sun, with the ocean breeze passing by!

Continue through the screened in porch to walk up the lit stairway, to behold the crown jewel of this home – the rooftop deck! Recently installed WearDeck composite decking that deflects heat and keeps feet from splinters makes this a joy to lounge on. Chaise lounge chairs, as well as other chairs make for a comfortable spot to enjoy the vista. Take dinner up to dine at the bar with a granite countertop, or relax with some lemonade, chips and salsa in the afternoon. For early risers, you won't want to miss taking in the sunrise from the rooftop! Or turn on the speakers that pipe in music from the living room sound system onto the rooftop and play your favorite tunes as you watch the sunset over the canal in the evening.

Our top Cape Fear area rental booking tips and tricks:

When to book a Cape Fear area rental & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in Carolina Beach. Booking in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your group choose the best dates and a spending budget.
• Ocean Views + Rooftop! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If not, contact the property manager before you reserve your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the host right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
