Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach. When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation. Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott. For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.” Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor. Choose from luxury oceanfront houses and condos to more reasonbly priced 2nd row properties with oceanviews. Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly. Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier. A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.” Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.

Enjoy miles of pristine beaches, salt marshes, and scenic views in every direction with a visit to Fort Fisher State Recreation Area.

For families travelling to the beach, or fishermen carrying tackle/coolers, a beach cart can be the best purchase of your vacation.

Carts are often built for specific scenarios, so think about the gear you’d be putting on your cart before making a decision.
Welcome to your Wilmington getaway inspired by Where the Crawdads Sing. 2 blocks away from Castle street coffee, yoga, wine shop, and eateries. Only a mile walk down cobblestone streets to historic downtown or hip cargo district. 20 min. drive to Wrightsville beach! Family friendly home with crib, high chair, infant bathtub, blackout curtains, toys, games, puzzles, & toddler kitchenware. Entirely supplied kitchen. Yoga mats and fiction books for adults. Firepit & outdoor dining in fenced in yard.Guest accessYou have the whole property to yourself with an painless keypad check-in!The propertyThe home is on the 800 block in the city of Wilmington's downtown historic Castle Street district. It has thick bushes surrounding the front and sides of the home and a driveway on either side (the neighbor’s driveways) which provides distance between the neighbor’s homes. We have blinds and sheer curtains to let in light, yet provide privacy. It has a sunny fenced in backyard with a tall privacy fence, high trees along the back to give more privacy from the home behind us, string lights, fire pit & Adirondack chairs, and a picnic table. Appreciate hanging out by the fire or dining outside after a long day exploring the area. See photos for a better picture of what city living looks like. The neighborhoodOur home is located in the up and coming Castle Street Antique & Arts district. This is a fashionable place for VRBOs (because of the walkability to modest businesses) and know of 3 VRBOs on our block alone & about 10 within a few blocks of us! We’re a part of the Castle Street Collective which is a group of modest business owners on Castle Street, VRBOs in our neighborhood, and the neighbors who work together with the city of Wilmington to develop & beautify our historic arts and antiques neighborhood. Downtown Wilmington is considered an urban area & offers a lively experience compared to close by peaceful beach towns. It is the 8th biggest city in North Carolina. Our street is not a main street like Market or Dawson & does not have a lot of car traffic. Like in many cities, there are people walking, cycling, or hanging out outside. We provide sound machines in each bedroom if you’d like to use them at nighttime. We appreciate & are proud of our inclusive vibrant neighborhood, and bring our infant and toddler often to savor what the city has to offer while still being within a fast drive to the beach. However, we understand everybody has different comfort levels when they are traveling to new places. If you’re not looking for a lively city experience, I recommend staying in smaller towns. Wrightsville or Carolina beach are quieter because they’re not within walking distance of the downtown or modest businesses. This cuts down on foot traffic and noise because everybody has to use their car to get around. A humongous perk of staying in downtown Wilmington is you’re getting a great value by being a 20 min. drive to the beach, rather than paying a premium for beach front property. The other giant perk is you can appreciate the beach by day and city life by nighttime. If downtown Wilmington is what you’re looking for, we’d adore to host you! We do have blink cameras on the exterior of the property. A doorbell camera, a camera facing the street, and 2 in the backyard. We inherited these from the contractor who flipped the home. The rare occasions when we’ve used them was to see how the property faired in the snow to see if we needed to get it shoveled, to confirm our garbage can was missing when our cleaner notified us it was gone, or when our keypad notified us a guest typed in an incorrect code on the front door & I was able to talk to them through the blink to help them in. Other than that, they go unused because it’s a pain to get out a ladder to change their batteries and we never planned to install them, they were just there from previous owners. Please let me know if you have any questions about them!
