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 extraordinary 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 striking 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 incredible trails which is off the road and right down the street is an excellent brewery called Good Hops that has frisbee golf!

This particular unit is not pet friendly however there is an impressive 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.

Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation home experience:

When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental & When to go:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking 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 charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking yourrental:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the 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 Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is right for your group.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? 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. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
