Beach Harbour is the first bright yellow set of buildings you’ll see across from the marina and one block off the ocean. Second story, no elevator.

The only shared space in this unit is the pool, I rarely see many people at the pool because the ocean is so close but it is open and available to guests.

Mary-Katherine your host is typically across the street at the Cabana, or usually in the area and readily available via text/messaging.

Stoked restaurant is on the marina with water vistas & SeaWitch is close by as well, they both have frequent live music and a versatile menu to suit most all palates.

Nollie’s tacos can be seen from the balcony, they have striking Tex-Mex food and also vegan options, their jackfruit tacos are yummy!

Crush & Grind has amazing coffee, wine and beer they are a block away. Fork & Cork is a great restaurant, so is Havanna’s (great brunch AND clam chowder!). Malama had smoothies and avocado toast, famed Britts donuts opens in April!

Carolina smokehouse has terrific BBQ & ribs with ocean vistas, Hurricane Alley also has ocean vistas and a versatile menu.

NautiDog has great hotdogs with vegetarian and vegan options and outdoor seating. The Silver Dollar has great Ruben eggrolls. Buzz’ Roost & The Pit have great areas for watching sports, great bar and versatile menu, try the mahi tacos.

Nikkis sushi is close by and next to local icon, the Fat Pelican which has a fun walk-in cooler with hundreds of varieties of beer and eclectic coves/seating. Ida Thai is VERY good and El Cazador Mexican has a fun tequila bar.

Lakepark Steakhouse has spectacular steaks and make your own salad, Kates pancakes is a great breakfast, also Gulf Stream is across from the marina and Island Bites Burgers & Grille is similar to Five Guys.

The news says the amusement park is supposed to return, you should be able to see that from the balcony and typically there is live music and fireworks every Thursday nighttime in the summertime on the boardwalk! Please refer to my bespoke guidebook here in AirBnB for much more detail.

Most people walk if able, there are sometimes rickshaws available. Bicycle units, golf cart units,l; really no need to get in the car and drive unless you want to go to Freeman Park, for example, Fort Fisher or the aquarium or the battleship in downtown Wilmington. Carolina Beach State Park also has fabulous trails which is off the road and right down the street is an gorgeous brewery called Good Hops that has frisbee golf!

This particular unit is not pet friendly however there is an magnificant pet boarding company on the island. If you need that option, please let us know.

Since we are so close to the ocean, at the beginning of each season we provide beach chairs, beach toys and games, beach towels, a cooler and even a fishing pole for your use. We cannot guarantee their availability or condition throughout the season since we have such rapid turnover of guests. If you do not find what you need, you can always rent items at Pleasure Island Units just a couple blocks away.
PLEASE download the AirBnB app on your phone BEFORE you leave for your trip so you have fast access to ALL check-in instructions, access codes, WiFi info, your home manual & guidebook.

Finding the best Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Carolina Beach. Reserve your rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• 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 group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. 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 evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best vacation rental in Carolina Beach:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Going Coastal in Beach Harbour! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the host before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a great stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
