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 fashionable 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 trendy 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. Appreciate 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 exceptional 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.

Getting the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• To find the best value, shift your family's Wilmington, NC trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. 2 BR\/2.5 BA beautiful, spacious waterfront Carolina Beach condo has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to compel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
