They begin in this warm and welcoming 3 bedroom 2.5 bath complimentary standing single family home. One block to the sand. Prepare your favorite dishes in the gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances. (If you don't catch it yourself, Blackburn Brothers Seafood is open 363 days a year and always have a great variety of just caught seafood.) The living room and Master Bedroom have direct WHITE WATER OCEAN VIEWS. You're mere steps to the beach and sand between your toes. Your back yard is an marvelous wetland and wild bird estuary. Your home is bright with natural light and elegantly decorated. Four decks--three with seating and impressive vistas. Savor striking sunsets, sunrises, and gorgeous starry nights.

Explore family-friendly attractions and activities close by on the island at the North Carolina Aquarium and the Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Museum, two of North Carolina’s most visited attractions.

Feel surf lessons with world class instructors, bicycle through town with the whole family along the Island Greenway ( two adult bicycles included,---please bring your riding helmets), hike or appreciate bird watching in Carolina Beach State Park. You can cast a line off the fishing pier or charter excursion to reel in a great catch. Rent a jet ski, kayak, paddleboard or bicycle from one of the many stores on the island and charter your own outdoor island excursion. The list of activities that offer classic beach and outdoor fun is countless.

The sights and sounds of family fun await you at the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, freshly named one of the most stunning boardwalks in America. The summer season brings amusement rides, seasonal live music and weekly fireworks. Appreciate sweet treats ( Britt's Donuts is a must--- they've been on the Boardwalk since the 1930's!), colorful stores with souvenirs and beach gear, oceanside eateries and tiki bars. For Java fans the Boardwalk offers many great options. We savor the Crush and Grind. There are just a few vintage boardwalks left in the country, and this one is extraordinary, so be sure to put it on your must do list.

Less than twenty mins. from your beach escape is the thriving port city of Wilmington. Explore the WWII battleship, the USS North Carolina, or Arlie Gardens. Wilmington also features many opportunities for shopping with unique stores in the Cotton Exchange, The Forum, Lumina Station, or Mayfaire. There are a variety of tours downtown in the Historic District, one of the biggest and most stunning historic districts in the South. The 230-plus blocks hold their own alongside the likes of Charleston and Savannah. Downtown Wilmington also offers the Hall for the Performing Arts, the Kids's Museum of Wilmington, Cape Fear river dinner cruises, and tons of great southern cuisine.

Check out the local events calendar (search "Carolina Beach events") for more upcoming events in the area. Annual off-season events that include Boardwalk activities are Christmas by the Sea and the Island of Lights Festival.

Our top Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Summer is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to select the best vacation rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Beach Bliss has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. If not, reach out to the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local 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?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
