I want you to make lasting memories and think of this home as your favorite beach vacation while at Carolina Sea Paws at Carolina Beach, NC. I try to provide most everything you and your family or guests may need, so you can appreciate taking just 30 steps to the whites sandy beach, see the ocean waves, and hear the sounds and smell only the ocean can provide.
When you return from your fun and sun time at the beach, you can savor rinse off in your cool outdoor shower area and enjoy the warm breeze. After a refresh, have a family BBQ and enjoy the late afternoon. After you eat and talk about your day, listen to the ocean waves with mood lighting over and around your sitting area outdoors. This would be my ideal first day.
This bungalow has a laid back, friendly & family safe ambiance at my end of the Beach, but you are also close to the action. This unit is a chic open concept, with tasteful beach décor, a huge L-shaped comfortable couch, and another couch in the "sunroom" area for additional seating. The Den has a 65" TV with a wall fireplace, and all the amenities you will need: i.e. high-speed internet, New HVAC- heat/AC, washer/dryer, linens, soaps, body wash/shampoo/conditioner, well outfitted kitchen and dinning area. All three beds are so comfortable you may not want to get out of bed, but If you are an early riser, make a pot or pod of coffee and sit on the front deck or go to the beach and watch a impressive sunrise every morning.
You are only 3 blocks from the North End Pier & Grille & 1 mile to the historic Carolina Beach Boardwalk. There you can shop, listen to live bands, dine at a great local restaurant, & eat a famed Britt's Doughnut or Squigley's ice cream for dessert. Go to the beach or walk to the Boardwalk and see fireworks on Thursday nights during the summer, or rent a paddleboard, bicycle, Kayak, or rent the Carolina Sea Paws golf cart to ride around town and park for complimentary. You can even bring a chair and watch an outdoor family movie on the lake at Lake Park every other week.
(Unit Golf cart must be reserved and paid for prior to arrival. Email owner- New Golf Cart, see prices in my photos)
Rain or shine, you will have plenty to see or do or just relax while at Carolina Sea Paws.
FYI… Dogs are welcome 45 lbs or smaller and if they are completely home broken and friendly. However, there is a pet complimentary of $65 for one dog or $85 pet stay for two dogs. They will enjoy the fenced backyard and walking on the beach.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summer is high season in Carolina Beach. To book the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best rental:

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 30 Sec. to Beach, Sun, Sand & Waves & a Family & Pet Friendly Fenced Backyard has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals 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 out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to inspire more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
