Welcome to Anchors Away, our canal-front townhouse featuring impressive sunset vistas overlooking your own boat down below. Walk a short block to the Periwinkle Public Beach access for some sand and surf. Then, return for beverages on the back porch overlooking the Carolina Beach Canal and watch the sun go down. Savor meals at home in our completely equipped kitchen, or take a walk to the Carolina Beach Pier for drinks and food at the Low Tide Tiki Bar. The Seawitch is just a bicycle ride away for the best live music on the island, and there's plenty of room in our garage for your bicycles!  Tasteful furnishings keep the whole family in comfort with plenty of room to sleep 8. Our condo community boat dock was just rebuilt in Summer 2023, and includes water and power at the slip. Bring your own hose and power cord. Meet your boating friends at the close by dinghy dock, the Carolina Beach Marina, or  the Carolina Beach Mooring Field, all located in the canal for a day on the water.

Things to do:

Adventure awaits. Discover aquatic wildlife and vegetation at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher or savor a calming ferry ride across the Cape Fear River to a cozy little shopping town called Southport. Take a trip back in time at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Museum which features live oak covered trails and bunkers from the American Civil War. Stroll through the marsh to visit the home of the famed Ft. Fisher Hermit. Or wind down with nature at our two state parks, sure to provide a memorable experience with hiking, fishing, and water activities such as paddle boarding and kayaking and search for a Venus Flytrap which is native to NC only. As one of North Carolina's most undeveloped beaches, the island offers a unique opportunity to see many diverse coastal wildlife, including pelicans and loggerhead sea turtles, in their natural habitat. Whether it’s exploring activities on the island, enjoying the ocean vistas, or enjoying a drink by sunset from your own private balcony, Pleasure Island offers diversion for every enthusiast!

 

Explore the treasures of Carolina Beach, ranked one of the top 10 boardwalks in the country by Food & Wine magazine. One of the last remaining beach boardwalks on the East Coast, it includes a variety of eateries, arcade, stores, ice cream, Famous Britts Donuts, bars, and more! During the summer months, the Boardwalk is bustling with the sound of music, carnival rides, bingo, family nights, and events like the weekly fireworks and concert series. Rent a Jeep, bicycle, or golf cart as the most convenient ways to navigate the island. Annual off- season events include the Cape Fear Kite Festival, Christmas by the Sea, and the Island of Lights Festival.

 

We look forward to you visiting us!

Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best vacation home within your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Carolina Beach attractions and restaurants.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Spring Special 20% Off - Anchors Away has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
