The Ocean Front Retreat is located on the North End of Carolina Beach. This part of the island is unique because it’s located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Carolina Beach Inlet. This gives the effect of being surrounded by water. The island has many local attractions and eateries for you to enjoy during your stay. Make sure to check out our guidebook that details why we adore our little island!

This Ocean Front Retreat is within walking distance to the beach and the Carolina Beach Pier. If you wish to discover the island, renting a bicycle or a golf cart is a good way to enjoy the scenery and local attractions. If you want to spend the day in Wilmington, driving or calling an Uber would be your best mode of transportation.

Wilmington, NC rental property booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to your budget:

• To find the best value, try changing your family's Wilmington, NC vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose the best rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• To start, have your group agree to the best dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Oceanview Beach Retreat POOL OPEN-Many Updates has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
