The Carolina Beach Lake and Brandy Myers Playground is across the street and the Carolina Beach Boardwalk is roughly a 6-min. walk. Every Thursday nighttime during the summer there is a fireworks display on the boardwalk, the best part about this is there is no fighting of the hordes for you, you can just pull up a chair on our ocean side patio and watch in comfort.

The Veggie Wagon is a 3-min. walk, where you can grab all kinds of local fare, like take and bake meals, hard ciders/beers/wine, baked goods. The blood orange cider is my personal favorite. Coffee lovers don't fear for Majik Beans is just a short walk past the Hang Ten restaurant, on the walk you'll also pass Kate's Pancake home, where you should definitely try the Banana Nut French toast. For burritos as big as your head, lol, check out Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn, delicious! Last but not least on our favorite's list is Britt's Donuts, which is open seasonally on the Boardwalk. They're so good that they announce their re-opening every year on the local news!

We have an onsite designated parking spot for our unit, so you don't have to concern yourself with parking access or costs. Our home is completely furnished but we do not supply linens.

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

When to book a Cape Fear area rental home & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best rental home in the Cape Fear area area:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Cozy Beach Hideaway, Sleeps 2-4. \nDirectly across from Carolina Beach Lake Park has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you book the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area beach you love, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
