Welcome to Southern Belle!

Sip your morning coffee on the balcony with a view of the ocean and spend the evening under the string lights in adirondack chairs by the fire pit.
Downstairs next to patio is a closet supplied with chairs, sand toys, body boards, and a wagon to savor on the sand. A propane grille and patio table with 4 chairs allow for outdoor dining. There is also an outside shower area for rinsing off.

You'll never have to (or want to) leave the island - but if you do, Wilmington is a short drive! During the summer there are complimentary outdoor concerts and movies, a weekly Farmers Market, carnival rides / games, and Thursday nighttime fireworks! Stroll the boardwalk and visit the famed Britt's donuts, head down to the Kure Beach pier, take a tour of Shark Tooth Island, visit the NC Aquarium or take in some local Civil War history at Fort Fisher. You can find new things to do every day or, of course, just relax on the beach and soak up the sun. You'll be glad you came to Carolina Beach, and you will want to come back year after year!

Finding the best Cape Fear area rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Booking in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation home in the Cape Fear area area:

• To start, have your family commit to dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Southern Belle 2 bed / pet-friendly / 2nd row in Carolina Beach with ocean view has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? 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. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or might be applied to your contract.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Contact the rental manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
