You will see Ospreys, otherwise known as Sea Hawks, searching for fish on steady wingbeats, circling high in the sky over our Carolina Beach marshes. You can see them hover, then dive to catch a fish, and carry their catch back to the nest. And, after your day of fishing, swimming, and sunbathing at the beach, you can relax back at our Hawks Nest just one row from the beach. Easily walk or bicycle to all the bars and eateries on The Boardwalk, while still feeling a sense of privacy and seclusion from it all in our peaceful, comforting nest. Entirely modernized in Spring of 2024, you will appreciate our soft sea colors and calm vibes. Cozy, brand new beds with plenty of privacy will have you coming back every year to this special home away from home.

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, appreciating 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!

How to find the best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

Summer months are high season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
Property managers usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a budget.
Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. 20% OFF New Property Discount, Book before 5\/31\/24 - Take refuge in Hawks Nest, has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

More tips for your visit:

Add the host's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Did your group have a excellent time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
