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 outstanding 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 spectacular 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 marvelous 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 awe-inspiring 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.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Cape Fear area rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• To get the most suitable rental home within your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and pick a perfectrental:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Going Coastal in Beach Harbour! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you simply love, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Call the host immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• 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 stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
